Prepare for Emotional Damage
These books made me cry buckets






The (failed) assassin to lover pipeline
Why would you kill someone when you can kiss them instead?
Fiction where one MC dreams of killing/fully plans to kill another MC, but instead they fall in love. All genres but mostly fantasy.
{Recommendations (especially sapphic) very welcome}






Decolonial History & Politics
Expand your knowledge and your worldview with these books full of history and politics of the people often left out of the history books written by the victors. These works explore issues troubling those trapped under colonialism and imperialism and offer new insights to globalization and new pathways to liberation.

a collection of books that have slowly helped the hurt child inside of me. maybe words on a page can fix you… and a lot of therapy.






Just for the Vibes
These books are great because of the feelings they evoke, the atmosphere they create, and the general vibe throughout the story. Specific vibe varies. Plot may or may not be included.






Paranormal Beings
Mostly paranormal romance (some sci-fi) but includes everything I've read and enjoyed that I think falls in the Paranormal category. May it be ghosts, shifters, sirens vampires, etc... I give you Paranormal ✨






Step into St Crispians
The Whereabouts Lane Committee would like to formally invite you to promenade through St Crispians, London. Stroll to Lapis Lazuli to see the lovely Miss Emma M Lion. Visit the church and listen to Young Hawkes, the silver tongued vicar. Get your portrait taken by Mr. Pierce, the token American. Perhaps stop by the Cleopatra for a pint. Don’t forget to visit Baron’s Square, home to the Duke of Islington and the most recent sighting of The Roman. Lost items may be found at the Reed & Rite.






Japanese murder mysteries!
Will probably contain books mostly from the shin honkaku movement, as that's what I've read the most of XD
These have all been translated to English!






Physical Collection






Millennial Feminist Cozy
These books feel like premium peak millennial Obama-era hope in the current Cheetoh-ruled world. They are what my best hopes of current reality are, with maybe a bit of magic thrown in. Reading and re-reading them is keeping me functioning right now. For the most part 😜
Bad things happen but these marginalized characters take it on and win in a way that satisfies me. I will save the books where bad things happen to bad people to another list!






National Geographic core: Naturalist Classics 🍃
The canon 19th and 20th century works of naturalist nonfiction (with some mystical/metaphysical work as well because the naturalist-to-poet pipeline is real and irresistible)
