Alle the books I've read so far/are currently reading

You liked Harry Potter but you’re angry at the author for being a huge transphobe and you would like some alternatives because you don’t want to give money to her so she can finance transphobia and you have enough of Harry Potter’s racist stereotypes like Cho Chang and other problematic themes in this saga? You’re in the right place! Note: I haven’t read all, if some are misplaced, let me know! Note #2: if you want more fantasy recs, I have a queer fantasy list!

Lesser known horror books from every year spanning 1920-1930 (Silent horror films and Conrad veidt were my special interest for a year so I know ball)

Fiction about the Shaker sect/set in Shaker communes/featuring Shaker characters

Inspired by a booklist I made for a friend who wanted to help others understand Hawaiʻi after the fires and heavy rains, when people around her said, “so many people visit there,” and were reminded: people live there. This is a curated collection of books about Hawaiʻi, its people, history, culture, and everything beyond the visitor’s view.

Short cosy books to smash out during an autumn day binge with a touch of cottage core, mythical creatures and a touch of magic ✨

Books that don't really fit my definition of a cozy book (low stakes, relaxed pace, etc) but still feel very cozy, entirely based off of vibes and my personal opinion

Reality TV books with romance

Each book is set in a different state the titles are in alphabetical order by state

These books are YA, set during winter holidays like Valentine’s Day or Christmas. Convenient if you’re looking for a Christmas book to add to your December TBR list! Feel free to recommend others, but I only accept ones that are either YA or clean!

Note: if you notice any books that are not young adult in this list, please tell me so in the comments. I do my best to research books, but I can make mistakes 😊

Zombies and the apocalypse, what else fits better together?!

We probably already know about them, but do you know about them??

Who doesn't love a protagonist who can slice and dice an enemy when necessary? These baddies range in age and gender so hopefully there is something for everyone! Thank you to the Pagebound community for these recs!

Books that do a great job of making your mouth water from their great food descriptions or show fascinating things about food.

Adult fiction books that feature librarians, archivists and historians as their main characters.

Amazon is evil but it is what it is, and this may be of use to some seeking weird girl lit

There are things that do not just walk upon the world—they consume it. These are the giants that the stars puked out, the ones forged in the furnace of ancient suns or birthed from the black voids of the deep. They are not 'big' in the way a mountain is big; they are 'big' in the way an apocalypse is big. To look upon them is to realize our own insignificance. They are the gears of the universe, the shadows on the moon, and the architects of our extinction. We call them ... The Colossi.

A cheerful yellow hue for your page.
