These texts all require some level of prior knowledge and understanding of abolition, how the carceral system functions, organizing, & more.

I also have a list for intro/beginner texts

All of the books listed here are introductory texts for Prison Abolition. The books on this list need no prior knowledge and are all great starting points for understanding prison abolition. You will find personal accounts, journalistic and essay books, as well as accessible analyses and histories of policing/incarceration

This list is the why of abolition

From Pink Floyd to Iron Maiden to Metallica to... you name it, these books inspired musicians into making some really cool music.

books with similar vibes/themes/plot points to the hit sci-fi audio drama Wolf 359, my beloved

Books that make me think beyond the classroom setting as a CS student

They're enigmatic. They're rude. They're adorable. Cats are the best animal companions and no one can tell me otherwise

can I get some hands? yes, please, chef 😈

do you have a crush on Alton Brown on Cutthroat Kitchen or Ayo Edebri on The Bear? maybe you just really love making food or eating a really good meal? do you make sure to lick your plate clean and finish your meal? then this is the list for you!

hopefully the chefs in these books make your mouth water 🤤

to quote Hudson Williams: munch munch munch yum yum yum

Books that explore gender in a trans/non-binary way.

Everything under the high sun, from monsters and mayhem to hauntings and sorrow set across the hot, dry plains of the West. This collection spans from pure horror to the horror-adjacent found in both new printings and older classics.

Books about how historical narratives can be abused and misused to justify misogyny, slavery, colonialism and exclusion.

thank you to @joycebari and @vasilissa inspiring the list to be created! we listen and we are indeed casting judgment. Books that your loved ones will never see you read....readers be aware

Fantasy, sci-fi, & fiction

Books that are part of 3 or more quests ✨❤️ (still trying to add more to the list... )

trans rep books (including non binary)

Books with Éowyn-type characters; women with an inclination to the martial or glorious but who are often frustrated or blocked in, or mocked for, their ambitions. ("A cage," [Éowyn] said. "To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.”)

as a traumatized individual who is slowly but surely healing, i tend to enjoy reads that portray characters going through and dealing with trauma. these are so far books that i've read that do a good job with it.

self-explanatory: please be careful with these books and heed the tws/be safe!
