Christmas and other holiday reads

A list featuring the stories of women in the ancient world, in which their realities and experiences take centre stage. It will mostly include both historical fiction and mythological retellings, but I may occasionally add some nonfiction as well as ancient texts/plays/poetry ✨

books that made me shed many a tear

Patricia Briggs interwoven intrusive-fantasy series in all their glory, spanning the pacific and inland northwest. (Unfortunately not in chronological order despite best efforts.)

feel free to comment any other ones to add :-)

Books with adaptations that were/will be released in 2027!

Books with adaptations that were/will be released in 2026!

Wanted to read some books about women's experiences with cancer where the whole focus isn't that or they aren't brave or handling it perfectly. Suggestions welcome!

Check your chests!

Sometimes family is the worst

"To love me is to suffer me, and I believe that"

[Religious trauma, family issues, doomed love and southern gothic]

Books I couldn't put down. All books on this list were read in less than 12 total hours.

Tolkien’s word

Books that focus on characters, their growth and their journeys, because sometimes all you need is a book shaped hug. All of these are the ones I've read (and loved!), so some of the books that deserve to be here might be missing. All in all, feel free to recommend me any similar books to add here!
