If you grew up in Germany like I did, it’s completely normal to read children’s books in which people have their thumbs cut off or are burning alive. So here we are - a list of the darkest German children’s books. Suggestions are welcome!

Books with strong female / male friendships that STAY friendships. Some books are in series so the book I put (the first) may not have those characters close yet but they will get there. Platonic and comforting besties we love to see <3 List requested by Fitzchivalry! Comment uf you would like any added!

DARK romance books I had to put down, and then pick back up again.

Dark Romance edition! Please, just try!

Women who navigate court politics through wit, charm, intelligence, and quiet influence rather than brute power. an ever growing collection🌹

horror (or adjacent) books that explore the terrifying enormity and distorted realities of the digital realm

List as requested by Dennie! Second world books (according to google I’m trying) that has some kind of mythological/magical element, basis, or religion. Feel free to add recs in comments or lmk if any of these don’t fit!

Because I love rivals-to-lovers, but sometimes it's nice to just enjoy a feud where they don't end up getting together at the end.

They’re teenagers with invisible disabilities living their lives. What more is there to say?

(Proceeds to say more)

These are YA books where main (and side!) characters have invisible disabilities, such as but not limited to: autism, deafness, HOH (hard of hearing), anxiety, epilepsy, rheumatoid arthritis, MS (multiple sclerosis), dyslexia, and more

Recommendations always welcome!

I love robots. Here's my favourite books featuring robots! Also artificial intelligence (as in "Ship").

Books featuring dragons. Not metaphorical dragons, actual living beings. Either creature or intelligent race.

Court transcripts! Emails! Texts! Interviews! Medical records! Letters! Notes! Poems! Songs! Pictures! Newspaper clips! Different types of media in books BESIDES the book! Whether it’s the whole book or just some pieces, there’s some type of media somewhere in here!

2027 releases with transmasculine main/POV characters. Includes trans men/boys and transmasc nonbinary characters, if I can find those.

The bleeding edge between Fantasy Romance and Romantic Fantasy. Like. The story would still be there without the romance. But would it tho?

Books that remind you of your favorite Barbie movies

Are you like me and have lost yourself in the massive scale of concept art paintings by Ralph McQuarrie, Jaime Jones, or Raja Nandepu? Do you see a retro-futuristic art piece and go "hell yeah"?

This list aims to collect all books with covers that consist of large scale, holy-shit-people-are-so-small, massively proportioned scenes. Landscapes that somehow have so much more depth than it seems can actually fit into them.

Suggestions of any genre are welcome! 🙏

"Weird girl literature" vibes but from the perspective of an animal?? Idk why but I need to read some of these...

Gothic book I have or want to read (feel free to recommend)
