Poetry books from Duke University Press

Books I read on kindle but want physically because I loved so much.

Nothing better than a quick standalone romance between something long and serious 😏 In another words: if you’re already committed to six series but still need more excitement in your life 🤭

If you simply prefer to spend every night with another magical being that’s perfectly fine too 🤭💖

just a list of books that really hit the heart of and get you thinking about the human experience

although i am not jewish myself, i believe thoroughly that zionism is not a requirement for judaism and therefore it must be accepted to proudly support jewish voices against the genocide. here are some books by anti-zionist authors to support this jewish american heritage month and beyond!

Books you'll think about forever and ever

A region that shaped world history, produced some of its most luminous poetry, and somehow stayed off most reading lists. A reading list for anyone who realized they knew almost nothing about Central Asia and wanted to fix that. Central Asia includes Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, and most of Kazakhstan. Sometimes Afghanistan is also considered a part of it.

To understand the racial hierarchy in the United States, you have to understand the language Black and mixed race people have been using to describe it since the end of the American Civil War.

Reconstruction gave birth to "the Color Line" phrase. It describes the legal and social boundaries between Black and White and the entire racial hierarchy that exists between them in the United States.

An essential resource for the American mixed and multiracial experience.

To broke to afford

Originating in the late 1800s and continuing until the end of World War II, works of the modernism movement feature new and innovative styles, a break from traditional writing, and attempts to recontextualize literature in response to both the devastation of the series of global conflicts between 1900-1950 and the emergence of new technology, ideas, and world order. Subgenres of modernism include absurdism, surrealism, dadaism, and stream of consciousness.

My favorite books

This collection is THE reason I haven’t cancelled BOTM; these books are criminally underrated & deserve more attention! Litfic lovers, these are for you.

The Offset is a collection from Book of the Month (BOTM) featuring “a series of books from indie and international voices for those who seek artistic expression over commercial appeal, elevated prose over action-packed plots, or the unconventional over the mainstream.”

Will be updated routinely.

Books to read on your sunny balcony in the shadows while wearing sunglasses because it's still too bright. There's a drink to your right, the condensation forming a little ring on your little balcony table. Maybe it's wine, maybe it's water, maybe only slow melting ice cubes. You don't know what time it is and everything smells like sunscreen.
