awww, nuts!
since hitting the nutty nines, I was inspired to create a list! I had several options, I could make a kinky list about nutting (shout out @burntsunflowers for already being ten thousand steps ahead of me!), a list about nut allergies (interesting and could definitely come back to later), or one of my favorite kinds of lists to make, books with the word “nut” in the title! guess you’ll have to check this list out to see which option i went with 🤪
taking any and all suggestions!!
Shakespearean Titles
books which titles are direct quotes from Shakespeare (alas The Fault in Our Stars would not count)
open to suggestions!
classics retold
my (curated & picky) list of literary retellings of classic novels! all ask you to reconsider the original text.
so you've read hamlet
an eclectic collection of books related to 'hamlet': from other classics to retellings to academic perspectives
themes i prioritized: kingship and anxieties of ruling, familial struggles (particularly father/son), existential questions, tragedy
it is that deep
books where either the walls being blue does symbolize sadness, or where the author just digs into a subject
