Recs if you like Sharks in the Time of Saviors...

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

All of his picks since 2008, both summer reading lists and yearly round-ups.

Literature featuring indigenous authors from the Americas and Pacific. Fiction from across all genres by First Nations of Canada and the US, Māori, Aboriginal Australian, Samoan, Hawaiian, Papua New Guinean and other Pacific Island indigenous peoples. Any and all recommendations are more than welcome! Thank you 💜

this is your reminder to read books by Black authors all month, all year, every year— not just during Black History Month. it’s crucially important to be able to diversify your reading and your bookshelves. expand your mind, your perspectives, your knowledge, and your taste. if you don’t know where to start, here are some recommendations!

Contemporary, historical, YA, horror, you name it! Fiction that includes the unique history, setting, and cultural backdrop of the Hawaiian Islands, its people, and its traditions, written by Native Hawaiian—Kānaka Maoli—authors. Sticking to one book per author; suggestions welcome!

books from all US states and territories. asking for recommendations! these books must a) be written by an author with a strong connection to the state or territory and b) take place largely in the state or territory. i want to try to prioritize, whenever possible, underrepresented voices / voices that america’s regime tries to silence.

please lmk if any of these authors or texts aren’t good representation.

i will comment a list with each state/territory + its associated book!

books about sea creatures, the ocean, and anything in between (prob might end up with a lot of shark ones)

This is a list of books for the Read The States Challenge. Read any on each of the state lists and be awarded the pride of knowing you have read all across the US!

Books set on islands or written by native islanders from around the world for the days you want to be surrounded by nothing but waves. Please comment missing books :)

fiction about generations of families, their relationships, and their legacies.

All books read by Tough Guy Book Club since 2014. The club that wants men to Read More, Talk More, and have more Friends.

It’s all in the name babe
