Books I love 💖

Collection of books I have either read or need to read that are good inspiration for my current WIP

Modern and Contemporary Tokyo represented in Japanese Literature.

For series/mangas only the first volume is added.

hello niche community ! if u do not know kevin atwater is a kind of small artist that sometimes posts book recs, this a collection of the books he has recommended! (also these aren’t explicitly recommendations from him just the books he has posted!)

romances where at least one mc is royal

love stories that end in tragedy :(

this is my list book

books I would completely erase from my memory just to reread and experience again.

Fiction with main characters who have OCD

because unfortunately there is still a painful dearth of happy endings that don’t default to marriage and reproduction, especially in hetero romance. 🫠

Favorite Reads This year 2026

Books I’ve read and own physically

When dreams become real: through portals into dream dimensions, through nightmares escaping into the waking world, or by any other means the author can imagine. Includes books of all genres; suggestions always welcome!

winners, shortlist and longlist (this will be a very long list indeed)

Audible Audiobooks that are in my personal opinion worth to get. Only Audible Originals (as the rest can usually be obtained via Library and Co)

Memoirs, histories, guidebooks. Real life narratives told through creative expression.

all longlisted books from 2018-2026
