sometimes two is the perfect number | only the first book

Books I plan to read when I eventually write my trans regency romance

Non-fiction books I'm hoping to read to expand my mind, get inspired, and learn new things.

A collection of stories that utilize narrative voice in a Particular Way. Often quirky, sometimes funny, and usually impactful to the plot or nature of the novel. Not limited to any particular POV so long as the narrative is distinct. Goes hand-in-hand with an unreliable narrator but not mutually exclusive to one.

This is a very subjective list, but I loooove this vibe in a novel. Recommendations welcome!

From sweet pack rom-coms and cozy omega nesting fluff to pregnant omegas, M/M, mpreg, heat cycles, claiming bites, scent-drunk mates, and books that need both a cold shower and a warning label.

For every flavor of omegaverse: soft, spicy, chaotic, tender, feral, and biologically inconvenient 🧁🌶🐺

Romance books with baking

Join me on a cozy tour of the United States and beyond! Cozy mysteries are low stakes, high enjoyment, and an excellent palate cleanser. And reading a cozy mystery about surroundings you recognize or would like to explore just adds to the fun! This list features cozy mystery, first-in-series books set in New Mexico!

Books that are set in worlds that are either in the midst of facing world ending catastrophes or shortly there after. This list focuses on books that show how humans evolve and survive given the new circumstances they're in.

As always, open to suggestions for additions to the list! 🙂

You love hockey romance, but are tired of seeing the same books recommend over and over? You want to diversify your reading and read more disabled, fat, BIPOC and queer stories? I have some recs for you! (A lot of these are from talk_about_swoon on Instagram)

Shaelin Bishop (aka ShaelinWrites) is a Canadian writer and YouTuber who makes lots of great videos with really helpful writing advice. She also has two videos called "The Writer's Syllabus" with book recommendations that will help you become a better writer and I decided to make a list of them here!

Novels whose main characters are artists, recommended by Pagebound users. Recommendations are always welcome; the only rules are that the main character must be an artist of some form (be it a painter, writer, actor, musician, dancer, or even a chef) and that their art must play a key role in the plot. If you're looking for YA or middle grade novels about artists, please check out the "Aspiring Artists" list on my profile.

Middle grade and YA novels whose main characters are artists. Recommendations are always welcome — the only requirement is that the main character must be some sort of artist (painters, dancers, musicians, chefs, and more are all acceptable) and that their love of art must play a key role in the plot.

Stories of characters who find freedom/adventure outside of their four walls 🌷 🌼 🧭 🌏 🍄🍃 All suggestions welcome 😁💯

Theme : origins and evolution of human language

Books about how language may have emerged, what makes human language special and how speech relates to cognition, evolution, and biology.

A list collating queer fiction with heavy fruit symbolism. The thematic usage of fruit in queer fiction is traced back to Florida Fruit Citrus Commission spokeswoman Anita Bryant, who fought hard to repeal gay rights and spread homophobic disinformation. Queer literature in the years after reclaimed the orange as a symbol of queer love and joy, and this has since expanded to other fruits. Disclaimer: I've read a few books on this list and am hoping to get through all of them!
