Any book that has Sapphic characters or sub plot!

There might not be an english translation but they're all peak

Novels with compelling and well-developed characters in love, either romantic or platonic, and both the good, the bad, and the heartbreaking

Inspired by the song "Hercules" by Livingston! :) These are books with characters that realized they couldn't be the "Hercules" or the strong and/or "perfect" person that everyone, even themselves, wanted them to be. My interpretation includes, but isn't limited to: breaking societal standards, coming out as lgbtq+, fighting being misunderstood by family and friends, both external and internal pressure to be the best, and the battle of physical and mental illness.

Non-fiction that delves deep into the folklore, psychology, and science behind the paranormal.

recommendations are highly encouraged in the comments!

Mysteries with levity

What was it like to be a reader in 2016

An ongoing list of stuff I've read on KU that I think make the sub worth the price. This will largely be sci-fi and fantasy, just due to my own taste in books. There will definitely be some junk food on here. If it's a series, only the first book will be listed.

Note: these were all on KU at the time I added them to this list. They may fall off and I probably won't realize it. Feel free to give me a heads up and I will remove them!

I'd love to hear your recs too! d
