For my job in mental health

Opposites do attract 🤭

Books with Holiday Spirit & the gift of smut ✨️

So I noticed that there are heaps of Starter Packs on Quests, but NO YA STARTER PACKS!!!! So here you go, sit back, relax, and enjoy this curation of no-specific-genre YA books!! I'm only including the first book of a series (unless it's a spin-off!!)

A small selection of the over 2000+ banned books recently brought to the attention of Texas' Lt. Gov and a conservative organization for their for "vulgar" material 🙄 including topics of history, race, LGBTQ+, gender identity, feminism, mental health, and sex education as well as romance, horror, science fiction, memoirs, and classic genres. Aka my new reading list 💅 **Includes all the books I've read/on my TBR and other popular books, comment others if you want!!

Books where the robot or android or AI (not stupid real life AI) learns how to be human or human-adjacent. That MUST be part of their arc, even if it’s multi-book. (For example, The Monk and the Robot wouldn’t count because Mosscap is so well adjusted already).

fantasy stories that centre on healing from trauma, from the past and from inherited cycles

Your favourite female fantasy writer's... favourite female fantasy writer. Works of SFF by female writers which proved critically lauded or influential to subsequent writers.

books touching on critical librarianship (CritLib) and other relevant librarian interests... designed from the lens of a current MLIS student! ~~ this is an ever-expanding list, so feel free to leave suggestions in the comments!

A list of all the books republished as part of TOR's Essentials series (I'm going to read them all eventually). Please let me know if I've missed any!!
