For when your PB friends share the same name(s) as a book character! (See pinned comment for master list! Please feel free to chime in if you want to be added and/or if you want a different book assigned to you; I didn’t want to step on toes and add people I haven’t really talked to without their permission ❤️ also my brain is smooth and I forget book character names all the time lol)

Lives of outsiders rendered in sharp prose style. Descendants of Shelley, the Brontes, and Woolf; forebears to 'Weird Girl Lit'. Title refers to the authors, the subjects of the work may not always be women. Focused on novels published between WW2 and 9/11, with a few memoirs and short story collections.

ladies love to write all around the world!

The Warwick Prize for Women in Translation 'aims to address the gender imbalance in translated literature' and is open to works of fiction, poetry, literary non-fiction, and fiction for children or young adults. Only works written by a woman (original authors, not the translators) are eligible. All works longlisted since the prize began in 2017 are collected on this list.

A collection of Hungarian books that have been published in English. I'm prioritizing the ones I think are especially good 😄 But open to suggestions. Also adding our Nobel winners, both of them.

Various titles, from Russian, Ukrainian, Czech, Polish, Hungarian, Baltic, & Balkan authors.

Historical fiction is one of my top pics as you can get a variety of flavors within it. Want to cry? Historical Fiction. Your skin to crawl? Historical Fiction! The world is your oyster

Name generators my beloveds. Just a list made by someone whose D&D characters were mostly christened with the help of RNG. The one and only criterion: Title is a first/given name (or nickname too)! Some are verified by the book actually containing a character with that name.

Fiction Books set in Hungary

Open to recs!!

Not a list of dark academia books, but a list of books a character in a dark academia book would love. The melancholy, the classics, the literary, the slightly eerie.

I really enjoy Malissa's bookish vlogs on Youtube and got a lot of good recommendations from her, so here's a list of her favourites. Will update as I find more!

This is my master list of books translated to English! These all range into various different countries, cultures, and genres. It's beginning was as my August's Women in Translation TBR and has evolved to encompass more works by all genders
