Queer books and books written by queer authors that are featured in the indie game "Tiny Bookshop", a cosy bookstore management life sim by the studio Neoludic

Want to get into fantasy but never read/only read a bit and don't want to read anything too complex? These books and series have light worldbuilding, magic systems, and are overall good introductions to those new to fantasy. The majority of these are more YA due to the nature of entry-level fantasy

mermaids, fairies, and anything whimsy is such fun way to spend these warmer months

the staples of the book community on youtube in the early to mid 2010s.

Nothing better than a quick standalone romance between something long and serious 😏 In other words, if you’re already committed to six series but still need more excitement in your life 🤭

If you simply prefer to spend every night with another magical being that’s perfectly fine too 🤭💖

Romantasy standalones from YA to Dark Romance

All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

If you're like me, you might have been missing out on some stellar books because they have been published as YA, despite them having more complex themes. I took to the PB Club and asked for your recommendations for books that fit that criteria; this list is a compilation of (mostly fantasy) books from suggestions from all of you! Please feel free to drop some more recommendations, all genres accepted just as long as they are published as YA 🥰

Fairy tale Retelling ranging from YA to Adult (will be updating as I come across them)

I love whimsy and books around a circus (or circus adjacent vibes like whimsical carnivals, festivals, etc)

Sometimes our childhood needs a little ✨️

Alice in wonderland, Cinderella, Mulan, Princess and the frog, Red riding hood, Little mermaid, Peter pan, Tarzan, Sleeping beauty, Snow white, Beauty and the beast, Rapunzel, ect...

Different genre so read at your own discretion 🤭

A list of all the books featured as monthly picks for the Owlcrate YA Sub. ◽️ Not Including sequels or special editions outside of the monthly sub.◽️ I will include new books about a month after release to avoid spoilers.

Books based on Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland

Novels of various genres about food, drinks, or other treats!

books i’ve read (and liked) that made me feel the cozy calm (or dark grit) of fall

no rhyme or reason, just ✨vibes✨

**i’m including some cozy fantasy/spooky season/fall-occurring books, but this list is also meant to expand beyond those limited sub-genres to include books i think would hit different if read during fall or majorly incorporate elements i associate w fall like mountains/forests, adventures, murder, small towns, seasons of change/hardship, grittiness, dark academia, pirates, etc
