Recs if you like A Year in Provence (Provence, #1)...

Books you will find on any given thrift store shelf in the US, for better or worse 😂 For books in a series or by prolific authors, I’ve only included one book so as not to overwhelm the list.

Suggestions welcome!

I think it goes without saying but just in case… I’m not necessarily recommending these books by having them on this list. (In fact I wouldn’t recommend many of these.) This is for fun!

For a book to make this list, it needs to start with X, Y, or Z (ignoring "The," "A," "An"), be a standalone or series opener, and have at least a 3.7 star average rating on Pagebound. Pulling from a variety of genres!

Atmospheric novels that feel like stepping into another country, another era, another interior life.

A balance of breezy page-turners with immersive classics and thought-provoking non-fiction.

This list personifies fairy type Pokemon and creates a list based on that personification.

Fairy types are full of whimsy and love the little things in life. They care deeply for others and are some of the kindest individuals you'll meet. While some think they're stuck in their own little worlds, fairy types are really just planning their next little adventures for them and their friends.

This list features slice of life books to appreciate the little things in life (with occasional adventures)!

Books about food, travel, nature, and the ways they intersect. May be narrative cookbooks, travelogues, foraging guides - anything that makes my feet itch for travel and my hands quest for spices and spoons.

These travelogues give upper middle class white woman on a self discovery journey and I’m all here for it
