Recs if you like Redemption in Indigo...

Representations of the Black experience through fantasy, science fiction, and speculative fiction. Recommendations welcome!

Fantasy settings based on African geography, cultures, folklore, myths, legends, or histories — inspired by the Quest with Asian stories of this kind. Suggestions welcome!

Speculative (sci-fi, fantasy, horror etc.) novellas less than 200 pages long that are either standalone or read like a standalone story

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that go past the July start date and match at least one of these title prompts: Periodic Table, Familial Terms, Rainbow of Words (also Joseph's coat), Numerical Titles, Titular Counting 5+, Pun in the Title, and First & Last Name in the Title. Recommendations welcome!

Enjoy my newest lit series, ‘Reading the World’, in an attempt to diversify your own reading and broaden horizons, I have included a mix of genres. Sensitive topics often lie ahead as history, social and political issues are usually the centre of this writing. Enjoy!

Just me over here and my love of spiders.

ARCACHNOPHOBES BEWARE! Here there be spiders. From the title, to prominent characters to cover art.

Feel free to suggest additions! (Attempting to be mostly fiction, but if there are any good nonfiction spider books please let me know! Also I'm not doing comic books, because this would become the Spiderman/Black Widow list instead v.v)
