all good, perfect

A playlist in solidarity for the Jantar Mantar Protests in India. Art is political. Sports is political. Nature is political. I'd rather people have convictions than be neutral.

Step into the role of a curious apothecary and pick some new poison for your next read.

This list is title-based. If you have any fiction book with title including a word "poison" feel free to comment.

This is a collection of my favorite thriller/mystery authors! I have chosen my favorite book of theirs as well as all of the books by them, that I have yet to read! So this is a mix of faves and tbr, as well as YA and adult! I have excluded authors that I have no interest in reading from again, even though I have loved one of their books.

Warning: Contains buried treasure, questionable life choices, and an unhealthy number of parrots. Read at your own arrrisk.

This is a collection of romance authors! I have chosen my favorite book of theirs as well as all of the books by them, that I have yet to read! So this is a mix of faves and tbr! I have excluded authors that I have no interest in reading from again, even though I have loved one of their books.

This is a collection of Danish authors! I have chosen my favorite book of theirs as well as all of the books by them, that I have yet to read! So this is a mix of faves and tbr! I have excluded authors that I have no interest in reading from again, even though I have loved one of their books.

Pining, long standing love, and maybe some angst. Just bang already!

Books that focus on “fun fact” crimes, people and snapshots from human history.

Books with protags and/or main characters who happen to be transmen, or transmaculine, whether it's relevant or not, regardless of good or bad either. Books with brief side characters do not count for the sake of my sanity.

A lot of these are general, but I am focused on finding books on sibling loss and suicide bereavement or compounded grief. I am compiling what have read (not much yet), but also recs that I want to look into. I would love to hear suggestions (a lot of this is the result of snooping though maybe too many forums and blogs, so anyone else with insight would be lovely)!

BL manga/manhua/manhwa that is more wholesome than smutty. (Later volumes might include sex, but nothing too graphic)

Please comment your suggestions!

Books that I have rated 5 stars and everyone should read them.

Hot new sh*t from my favorite annual magical conference, plus whatever else I couldn't walk past at Sojo's booth.

Ogres and aliens and tentacles, OH MY

Nonfiction which focuses on feminist analysis of media and representations of (real or fictionalized) women in media.

Books from Chapter 8 from Paperbacks from Hell by Grady Hendrix. This chapter focuses on slasher type horror and serial killer horror. In the 70s and 80s serial killers found their way into the popular zeitgeist and news for the first time. As Hendrix notes of the panic that ensued, “… and in a flash the scariest motive for murder was no motive at all.” (205, Paperbacks from Hell by Grady Hendrix). After all, nothing is scarier than a killer who kills just for the thrill.
