The ultimate bookish read!

All Heartstopper volumes by Alice Oseman (will add extras and the parallel sagas lates)

for the weirdos and freaks

books w sense of humor (or voice) that's A) so subtle and cleverly disguised you could blink and miss it B) so blatant it's like being hit over the head C) so outrageous it's honestly just absurd D) drier than the sahara desert E) rather tongue-in-cheek F) all (or at least more than one) of the above

(some are more obvious than others since some are clearly intended to be satirical and others were just written in such a dry voice it made me chortle)

*exclusions may apply. official magical soulbonds w animals not required, but seriously encouraged. only the ride-or-die connections--no mere pets allowed.

(in the event that a series features a beastie bestie, this list will only include the first book in which the aforementioned animal appears)

Take a deep dive into the history and meaning of Horror Movies. What themes come back, zombie like, again and again? How do changes in society cause familiar monsters to mutate? And why do we seek out horror in troubled times?

Collecting books that would categorise as romance/romantasy/fantasy with prominent romance subplot that booksandlala has rated 4 stars or higher.

Feel free to suggest more books that would fit into this list, correct wrongly added books or suggest improvements to this list ☺️

Still work in progress.

Texts and books from the Middle Ages

Ghosts, vampires, kikimory and rusalki for all those readers brave enough to face it.

The dramas of today’s power politics have already been told in powerful storytelling—the tales of heroes and villains, of brave souls and martyrs, of those motivated by greed or by love. A mix of mostly British, American, or German writers.
