You know the story all too well. Or so you thought! lol

These reimaginings have you thinking about the themes, plots, and characters years after finishing the final chapter.

Horror stories (in all of its forms/subgenres) from Asian authors!

I read the book then watched the movie. Orrrr I watched the movie and then read the book. Either way, I read a book and watched a movie. And liked both. Sue me

If you tell me a book has found family I will almost always read it. It's definitely one of my top favorite tropes. Leave recs if you want!

Who doesn't love a forced proximity romance? The tension it builds is often unbeatable. Here are my recs, and as always feel free to recommend more!

horror novels that are actually quite deeply tender, threaded through with love (not only romantic)

literary fiction featuring romance / love stories

Whether by more recent classics or old ones, also includes books connected to classic authors. Only the first book in a series will be included, but the rest are typically also retellings or inspired by as well.

Terror of the night or shy, winged sweetheart? We have it all in these romances and erotic novels (and novellas!) featuring moth-inspired love interests. Mothman, moth-fae, you name it!

Now all we need is a moth emoji. (Seriously, why is there only a butterfly?)

Recs welcome

Books where we don’t know the MCs name (they are either the narrator or nobody addresses them by their name)

recs are welcome!

A list of books that will make you cry and sobb like a baby to the point you will have trouble breathing. 😢 Personally, I’m a cryer, so I made this list to remind myself that there are still some books out here for me to cry about 🥹

just mine

A list of books about U.S. interference in Latin America throughout the years.

Due to the current political climate, I believe it is more important than ever for people to educate themselves on the history of U.S. interference in Latin America from installing authoritarian and right-wing regimes to destabilizing economies in Latin American countries.

Lady knights are great but they make you think historical and European. I’ll take woman warriors in just about any setting (but I might group gunslingers and brawlers separately for my own idiosyncratic purposes). Be warned the woman warrior might be a side character, but I promise they’ll have a significant role.
