a (very small) sample of 20th century italian writers. I've decided to showcase only one work per writer.

"Who emulates the jesters of the Middle Ages in scourging authority and upholding the dignity of the downtrodden." The Nobel Prize in Literature, 1997, about Dario Fo.

A simple reading theough the decades (1800s-1990s) challenge focused on deeply flawed characters and societal critiques with a few slight thematic depatures to keep things fresh -- because that's how I like to read. Some decades are repesented more heavily than others. Put together in an attempt to make myself a more widely-read person. Suggestions welcome!

Books that will break you

Nonfiction books that look at screen time, its impacts, and how to manage it. Pick up a physical copy for the best effect!

Books with insides as sexy as their outsides! Or like literary merit and all that.

Covers I love, books I hate.

(if you love one of these, I love that for you, but this is my personal list of stinkers)

Modern classics and some preliminary reading for context

When you want something with an autumnal setting or dark (but not scary) vibe to curl up with.

A little lower on the spice/romance levels. Things my husband has read/I think would read.

Every day when my kindergarten-aged boys get home from school, we read at least one new book - this list documents the full list of children’s books over the course of the school year! 🥰

In no particular order. Rowan and Raihn will always have my heart tho

juyeon, an idol from kpop boy group the boyz, is an avid reader & frequently brings up (or is asked about) which book he’s reading. he is from south korea, but reads a variety of books in other languages as well. this is a list of all the books he has brought up to fans.

Fiction & memoirs written by authors who are Taiwanese. Let me know if you would like me to add any books! (or if I've made a mistake)

I really enjoy Malissa's bookish vlogs on Youtube and got a lot of good recommendations from her, so here's a list of her favourites. Will update as I find more!

literally what the title says, which is a trope i find myself actually enjoy (if done right) of an asshole, rude, grumpy MMCs that has their reason for being so and who i still love despite their asshole-ness

Books with unconventional and unique narration
