Dystopian books were never meant to be more than fiction

R.F.Kuang's all books

A completely unbiased literary investigation into the prevalence of Alexes in fiction. Alexandra, Alex, Lexi, or any other variation. No deeper criteria, just me collecting fictional versions of myself across genres.

biographies about more than one person.

Books with a frame narrative. (Disclaimer. I haven’t read all of these. Books were added based on comments received on my post in the Empress of Salt and Fortune forum.)

I~we come to know the language of good: Toki Pona, a conlang composed of only ~140 words! Toki Pona was inspired by Taoist philosophy & pidgin languages and is designed to help speakers focus on the essentials by expressing maximal meaning with minimal complexity.

This list contains official instructional books for learning how to speak Toki Pona, original stories written for beginner tokiponists, and a number of books that have been translated into Toki Pona.

Unlikeable narrators

Series I read as a kid that belong in every library.

Books full of wonder that cultivate joy and imagination and whimsy

Mixing magic with mental health support. Full of rituals, practices, remedies, intentions and more that support the mind.

You are the magic. The magic is you.

books with spicy lessons this is either the mmc coaches the fmc about sex, or i also think another category that fits is when the fmc is insecure, or hasn’t done it in a long time, and the mmc offers to help her (and we all know where that leads!) let me know if you have any recs!

Books to read to get quest badges quicker. The books in this list can be found in 3+ quests. Inspired by @AsiminaTriloba. Bring home the Badges!

Picture books set in the summer, about the seasons changing from spring to summer, or featuring summer activities.

Not meant to be an exhaustive list (that might be impossible!), this is instead a curated collection meant to represent a diverse range of protagonists and moments, brought to life by charming illustrations.

Everything from non-linear narratives, puzzle plots, weird realities and existential crises.

Books that made me go “Huh, Christopher Nolan could pull this off”.

Some choices on this list are vibes only so don’t ask me what’s my criteria lol

This list brings together fiction from around the world that documents significant historical events or periods of time. Titles in this list aren't necessarily "historical fiction" but do have an important historical element to them.

I find fiction is an easy media to help educate me about world history I never learned in school. These titles aim to bring to light historical events that may not be taught in schools!

As always, I'm open to any and all suggestions! 🤠

Thought provoking tradwife literature about the modern… oh sorry, “traditional” housewifes, romantasizing the 1950s conservative gender roles. But you know, without the oppression and lack of rights. And, oh well, directly contradicting the mid century housewifes with their performative online presence
