tonight we steal the moon
no matter where you live, we all see the same moon, even if itโs day, the moon is still there saying ๐ so here is a list of a bunch of books with the word โmoonโ in the title
taking suggestions!
queer BIPOC spec fic
Some books I either love or am super excited to read that are queer, BIPOC, and have some kind of speculative element (fantasy, sci fi, paranormal, etc)
historical fantasy
books that blend the magic of fantasy with real world history. only criteria is that books are set within actual historical time periods and not inspired-by settings.

Note: used to be titled โFor My Fellow Garlic Bread Loversโ but I worried it would cause confusion or not enough clarity on what the list was about (still keeping the bread emoji tho)
Paint + Prose Club
Featuring wildly talented authors who couldnโt stop at writing the book and had to paint the cover too. Honestly unfair, but extremely good for our bookshelves.
Bitches be hoarding talent.
Fluent in Spanglish // Hablo espanglรฉs
Books that use the language itself as a narrative and literary device, switching from English to Spanish and back again in a variety of ways, from light sprinklings for flavor and atmosphere to requiring the reader to be functionally bilingual to fully understand. Suggestions always welcome!

HRCYED 3.0 x Pagebound Quests (Covers Edition)
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 I think matches at least one of these cover prompts: craft, food, motion, biomes/landscapes, animals, weather.
