either written by an Asian author or inspired by Asian myth or featuring an Asian pov character, usually all three.

a collection of books with protagonists that see the world with a different set of eyes

Cross-genre books on birds (and their winged friends)

It's mixed genre, so enjoy the ride!

Questionable decisions be damned! They’re in love! Co-dependency bordering on toxic? Yep. Willing to do anything to save the other? You bet. Not your typical romance? Most likely!

Welcome to widows bay - or well, as close to it in book form!

I feel like the description kind of covers it. These are books that weren't written in English but were translated to English and I read them in English and they were good. I bet they were probably also good in the language they were written in but sadly, I don't know any of those languages.

For those wanting more after watching Bridgerton! All books related to the Bridgeton family and their world.

I decided to create this list for folks like me who enjoy romance as a B-plot, generally closed-door and excruciating slow-burn, especially in a fantasy setting! I know a lot of these are YA, but it's hard to find adult fantasy/romance books that don't focus so heavily on the romance.

Please comment your recommendations for this list, I'd love to expand it as well as read more books like this!

For those of us who celebrate spooky season all year long and need some newer recs in between. Especially adding whatever has given me the heebies. Not all books are directly scary as much as skin crawling or strange! I tend to seek a few horror/thriller books that have very little reviews, excited to add them here once I have read them.

Some of my favourites or classics I have read that I think should be read by all Sci-Fi fans. Space, aliens, time travel, different planets, parasites. All that good stuff I will read recs and add them if I see fit

have I read them all? there is literally no way to know. #whoworeitbetter

so far I’ve tried to stick to works published pre-2020 for the purposes of this list

shoutout to r/IndianCountry for recs

disclaimer: I am not Indigenous myself, just someone who went looking for a list like this and found a gap. I have found the books for this list on Indigenous-run sites and online spaces, including related lists on pb.

Always open to recommendations!

Anne of green gables rewired my brain. This is not a matter of whether or not these books are good. This is a matter of whether or not I think they are hee hee ha ha.
