May - September

I've listened to every episode of the Book Riot Podcast post-2021. Below are Rebecca & Jeff’s recurring faves, or books that I just associate with them through osmosis. Disclaimer: this list starts once you’ve read the complete works of Toni Morrison, Colson Whitehead, Zadie Smith, Kazuo Ishiguro, Percival Everett, and, of course, Marilynne Robinson.

My current quest into Sarah J. Maas's books

The books that needed more than just 5 stars

A collection of nonfiction books on disability - perfect for people who want to get into disability studies!

alternate titles broke: weird girl lit woke: weird wildlife lit freak fauna creatures serving cunt in a god-fearing way animals want me, literary fiction fears me

these are not just books about animals. these are books where an owl/crow/deer/shark/bear/genderqueer mountain lion/other concerning critter arrives carrying the entire emotional weight of the novel and nobody does anything about it.

Graphic novels/ comics to make you cry, laugh or stare at a wall

Books I want to read to become informed instead of amusing myself to death out of fear 👍🏻

Fantasy & Sci Fi books featuring Con Artists, Thieves, Gamblers, Knaves, and other assorted Rogues. Trying to give love to more rogues than just the assassin-type characters

Collection of Maeve Binchy Books: Short Stories, Fiction, and Novellas Titles: London Transports and Victoria Line Central Line consist of the same stories

Who is the creator? Who is the created? Gothic & psychological, isolation & despair

books in which someone finds a magic book, unleashes something magic from a book, is transported to a magic world through a book, and so on

on the surface it's a list of books about magic books (underneath it's an excuse to try to make more people read the hounds of the morrigan)

Ranging from merely eating-fruit-really-lasciviously to mushrooms-blooming-out-of-our-bodies.

List of books containing narrators that are unreliable, unfavorable, vile, malicious, manipulative and so on. The story, therefore, may be malleable in the narrators mind. Passages will likely contain content where you stop and think, "Hold up, did I read that correctly?" This list will focus on horror and horror adjacent books, focusing not just on narrators that are unreliable but also unlikable, cruel and possibly psychopaths.

The major works of T. Kingfisher for the completionist.
