*Excluding The Dark Tower

All the book series I have read

Old or new series!

(Beware of exceedingly questionable age gap romances in the old)

i might think this is my favourite trope

Children books that are unavoidable PS: i may have biases from my generation and nationality (I was born in the early 2000s in france)

I’ve seen lists, but not one strictly about Ergodic/odd formatting where it’s vital to read the e/physical because of the formatting and/or text —non inclusive of illustrated versions, and just adding non-vital images, etc.

These are the books where if you don’t read the physical (maybe the ebook) you’re MISSING something VITAL to the experience.

I often read audiobooks and don’t know I’m missing out 🫠

PLS recommend W/ explanation & feel free to argue cases!!

Ex and notes in comments

meditations on and celebrations of the seasons and microseasons across cultures and genre. list title inspired by the essay collection by Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee

an invitation to pause, to breathe, to notice and adore the little things around you. (recs welcome and do not have to be nature-themed)

All of these authors are problematic but I will continue to have them in my taste, my TBRs, and my lists because I firmly believe that we can learn both technique and warning signs from authors. Avoid these books if you want enjoyment, fun, and whimsy. Read closely. If you look, the warning signs were there in plain text the whole time.

Progression Fantasy books with a sprinkle of found family

Dungeon Crawler Carl Series

This list focuses on nonfiction books that describe different topics in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math). This list tends to prioritize books that focus more on the whys/hows something works, but occasionally dive into the history of subjects too!

Happy reading! As always open to suggestions!! 🤠🌱

Books with a character who is tied up, bound, or in some other way restrained on the cover

We all need a good cry. I know I do. This list (fiction and nonfiction) is curated of books that spark the ugliest of cries. Whether it’s over fictional couples that can’t find a way to be together or the reality of our ever-changing world, this list will have exactly what you’re looking for. Good luck to you and your mental state. Happy reading <3

when the cover is absolutely doing its job correctly

(gorgeous, funny, and uniquely fitting covers, all in one)
