books that I hear about in another book. possibly classics; probably those

not sure whether to laugh, cry or start a revolution

for traumatised people or lovers of dark fiction

Not everyone wants to lug around East of Eden. Classic novels around 200 pages or less published in 1900 or after.

sorry in advance

Books that can be a little weird, a little silly, or a little sinister. Just like Cosmo Sheldrake. Sometimes whimsical, sometimes haunting, sometimes airy, and sometimes dark. But always distinct, strange, different, and beautiful. ❤️‍🩹 (And one just cuz it was written by his brother)

horror • thriller

Books that I feel would shine if they had redone there cover art to to make it more “appealing ” If one of these books actually was updated and looks great feel free to comment. 😔recs welcome😔

Classics that pack a punch without being The Brick of Monte Cristo. Books around 200 pages or less from across the category, published before 1900.

A list comprised of novels that all have some sort of philosophical theme without necessarily trying to be a philosophy textbook. This list has a wide range: existential, political, ethics, etc. These books all make you think about life or society in some impactful way. Recs welcome!

A list of all my 5 ⭐️ reads!

A list for the #cinephiles of books that have been adapted into film / limited series

A collection of queer, inclusive found family and cozy romances across genres

In case there’s anyone else who’s obsessed with understanding how humans are the way they are! Novels about how the brain works, case studies that have moved the field of neuroscience (study of the nervous system) forward, and the people behind the science.

Stories that can be found in the archives of New Yorker.

Books that reminded me even a little bit of 'Alice in Wonderland' magic (not all of them are very similar but somehow reminded me of it)

Suggestions and recommendations are very welcomed! 💕⭐️

I have no idea what I am doing here exactly. Just prioritising deconstructions/confrontations of the white, Western 'classic' canon for now, however the goalposts/parameters might change!

Not intending this to be exhaustive - there are many lists on Austen, Dickens, The Great Gatsby retellings etc already! Just a few remixes for a range of classics.

Those books give me some autumn mood, it must be because of the covers

... keeps the boredom away! 😁

Anthologies and single-author collections with a focus on genre fiction and marginalized authors. Suggestions always welcome.
