Recs if you like What We Talk About When We Talk About Love...

Books recommended by musician Lucy Dacus, a solo artist and member of the band boygenius. Pulled from her goodreads list.

For when you need to wallow in melancholy and misery: a collection of pessimistic, cynical, downbeat, depressing, doom and gloom fiction for my disillusioned friends.

More to come!

Got the holiday blues? Check out my list Christmas with the Cranks!

Here's a list of every book I studied, read, or was reccomended to read as part of my Writing and Literature BA - for eager academics, fellow writers & nostagic graduates💕 Let's milk my education💪

For the gurlies that want to read more classics but finish in a day

Bite-sized books you can read in a single sitting.

this one's for the boys with the booming system top down a/c with the cooling system when we come up to the club we be blazing up Got stacks on deck like we saving up. Or for the boys who get it (reading). Trying to stay away from the 'commercial' boy books like the Dungeon Crawler Carl series and Project Hail Mary if you feel me.

i used to have a book bin in the bathroom, mostly short stories and anthologies you could read in one go. @scampireads said that could be a list, so here it is. short story books, one story per visit. some are ultra-short (quickies, for those in a hurry), others give you ten minutes, in case your stomach is acting up. a few run longer, skip those unless you want half an hour in there and everyone at home worried. recommendations are much appreciated! (books in english and spanish)

Picking up a book because of its title. Brilliant, creative, and intriguing book titles across all genres and forms.

I’ll be updating this list periodically as I encounter more.

Currently in my second year. Most of these have been read in part, not completion. Also including books from my minor in Greek :3

books that deliver their stories with gorgeous, unique, and well-crafted prose. this list is multi-genre and spans many decades - the only requirement is that the book is written with particular attention to its language. good prose is often surprising, melodic, and adds depth and beauty to the narrative - it's all about the way these books are written. recommendations welcome and encouraged!

books with less than 200 pages
