Please let me know if there are any I should add.

I dnf so many why choose books from lack of grammar, literacy, plot and often way too much sex. so here is an extensive list of ones I didn't to help you get around the pesky reviews of people who go on spice level and nothing else.

millionaires/billionaires with emotional baggage and eyes for just one girl.

Non-fiction books about language and linguistics. This is not a list about how to learn a specific language (so, no textbooks here!). The books here are about language(s) in general or about a person's experience learning/with a language. I did include one book about how to learn any language because I think it still fits the theme I'm going for. Please note that I haven't read of these yet, so can't recommend a specific one. Recommendations are welcome! 😊

Published between 2022 and 2023 in the recognizable yellow jackets with an illustrated cover. Except for Dune and The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy which are published as red hardcovers.
