These are for books that I think about for days on end. I’ll always go back and compare it to others. I’ll always feel and empathize for, not just the main character, but for all in the book. Books that genuinely made me sob during/after the book.

If you wanna cry, scream and throw up. You’re in the right place.

I’m a mood reader so my reading taste is all over the place.

Fantasy books with engaging plots, fascinating world building, quality characters and complex relationships bc I’m sick of authors choosing one over the others (ie fourth wing saying fuck a consistent plot, let’s just have them fuck)

The worlds don’t exist to house the characters, the plot isn’t just there to go in between hook ups and actions of the characters match with their traits 😱

And then also cruel prince bc that shits gonna hit every. Single. Time. ✊✊✊ (and some wlw bc yum)

A book list I've created in memory of my boyfriend. He LOVED fantasy and magic in books. Sucks that he couldn't find that magic for himself. RIP Bryan. I love you always

These short story anthology collections are sci-fi fantasy focused. Some stories in the collection may take a darker edge and lean grimdark or horror.

Feel free to add recommendations!

Recommendations welcome!

My attempt at a french lit starter pack. Might move stuff around as I go, as I plan on making this a series, taking the side quests starter packs as inspiration. I think they should all have been translated to english but I haven't imported the english versions yet

History and justice, ecology style! From ancient China to the Little Ice Age, the swamps of North Carolina to the guano mines of Latin America, these books examine how history has shaped and been shaped by the environment and ecological conflict, thereby transforming the lives of people living both near and far—usually to the singular benefit of capitalist and imperialist forces. An ongoing work-in-progress, always open to suggestions!

Fiction with revolutionary themes or spirit because prefiguration (imagining possible futures, designing alternatives) is crucial. Also works engaging with revolutions and the lives enmeshed within them. And we must protect the little flame. And books are the best.

books featured in the film Perfect Days (2023) directed by Wim Wenders, a glimpse into the quiet life of toilet cleaner Hirayama —

a life of light filtered through leaves, old cassette tapes, playing shadow tag with strangers, and reading books until you can’t keep your eyes open. a life of hidden pain, and fleeting beauty found in unexpected places.
