Recs if you like The Astral Library...

Maybe the people are magical, maybe the library is. Maybe these aren’t as fictional as they seem.

Recommendations encouraged!

Bibliophilia at its best - books about books, readers, libraries, bookstores!

I wish I had amnesia so I could read these books for the first time again.

All the books in this list are being released in 2026!! Let me know if I missed any! Jesus loves you!!✝️

Fiction books that outright tackle misogyny, or have feminist undertones. For every reader out there who's tired of being met with toxic/misogynist behaviour in stories that is presented as acceptable, or even romantic, and those who want to learn about the female perspective. (For more horrory books, see my list "Feminist Horror", for YA, see my list "Feminist YA".)

2 of these books are still on my TBR list. I just needed 5 to create the list

This is one of a few lists I'm making to help me organize my ideas for HRCYED 3.0. Feel free to take inspiration or comment with more ideas. For this one I've only put the first book and not the ones you can find in them.
