Manga isn't just for kids! These are titles intended for more mature audiences, including my personal recs and influential and bestselling titles that are available in English. Whether it's frank discussions of mental illness, abuse, LGBTQIA+ issues, violence, sexuality, horror or dark fantasy, these are manga that either originally ran in seinen (young adult men) or josei (young adult women) magazines, or I've otherwise broadly categorized through research as "not for (just) for kids."

A list of Alien Romance novels. Only the first in a series will be listed.

I own these books. Still need to read them.

So cozy

(more or less mundane horror vibes)

just books i read out of simple curiosity or because i’m forced to…

These books are short, light and easy prose, low stakes emotional investment, with distinct location or vivid atmosphere. Choose the one that fits the vibes of your destination!

Audiobooks that are less than 10 hours long and are safe for work AKA not aiming to get your horned up at your desk (no guarantees that you won't cry though). Recommendations welcome!

These books made me question what writing can do, just sit back and enjoy the wild ride
