We Call Them Giants. Chapter 1: The Giants of Old
The Shadow on the Horizon “They tell us the world was built for us, but the bones in the earth suggest otherwise. Before the cities, before the kings, there were the High Walkers. Some were made of stone, some of cloud, and some of a hunger that could swallow a village. We call them... Giants.”
Chapter 1: The Giants of Old (Myth & Legend) The foundational stories that defined the "Big Man" in our collective dreams.

The Real Romance List
Here is a list of books to read before you re-download a dating app! Kidding, but seriously, every bibliophile needs a solid foundation of modern-romance books that are able to set your heart on fire and maybe even regain some optimism in today's dating horror shows (if not optimism, more room for paranoia?). Specifically, books where the conversations are stimulating and there are true stakes and/or room for reflection. Please share your best (regular adult, not YA) reads for when the vibe is sexy.
Keywords: soft, titillating, cerebral

When Love and Death Embrace - Romances with Death
A list of romances where death is a love interest, or at least someone death adjacent. It could be Death, reapers, gods, and even sometimes liches.
Please check any content warnings before diving in. Romance novels dealing with death as a character tend to be well represented in all types, so not everything here may not be for everyone

Sapphic Asexual Romances
This list contains sapphic romances with at least one asexual/ace-spec character. Please note I did not include How You Get the Girl, Kiss Her Once for Me, and Kiss Me Maybe due to them having shitty ace representation, in my opinion. If you have any recs, please let me know.

Native American History Books
Books about Native American history - mostly in the 19th century but some outliers as well. I haven't read all of these books, so PLEASE comment on any that are problematic, insensitive, or Euro-centric. For example, I have excluded Empire of the Summer Moon by S.C. Gwynne because the Comanche Business Committee denounced it for its ethnocentric sources and stereotypical portrayal of Comanche lives and history. Recommendations (especially OwnVoices) would also be highly appreciated!
