tonight we steal the moon
no matter where you live, we all see the same moon, even if it’s day, the moon is still there saying 🌝 so here is a list of a bunch of books with the word “moon” in the title
taking suggestions!

Cool list. Here's another one: The Ash Moon by Michelle Dare
thank you!!! adding it now 🙂↕️
ooh this is a really cool concept for a list! and your description made me think of classical chinese poems bc a lot of them discuss the same sentiment ksjfd
oh I love that! I’ll have to go read some classical Chinese poems because that sounds really interesting!
there's 望月怀远 / looking at the moon, I long for those dear and far by 张九龄 zhang jiuling (海上生明月，天涯共此时 / above the seas rises a bright moon; we at the far-flung edges of the sky share this moment in time) (not sure if you can find a translation, so i'm just gonna link my own here)
and also 水调歌头·明月几时有 / melody of the waters: when did the bright moon rise? by 苏轼 su shi (但愿人长久，千里共婵娟 / but let us all live long, that we may share the same moon across a thousand miles)! teresa teng did a very famous rendition of this poem in song here
amazing thank you so much! 💕🫶
consider also: romance books with some night/astrology theme called 月亮代表我的心
!! that reminds me, have you seen that "the moon represents my heart" book?
idt i have? issit in chinese bc i rarely read chinese books
I have a niche suggestion 👀 Both Sides of the Moon by Fell A. Marsh. It is a queer fantasy werewolf romance
Oooo I love a queer fantasy werewolf romance I’m adding it immediately
What a pretty concept 🩵 for suggestions I would say: From the Earth to the Moon by Jules Verne, and The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karunatilaka
thank you!! I just added The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida and I’ll go ahead and add From the Earth to the Moon now :)
You should add " under an outlaw moon" by dietrich kalteis. It's based on a true story about bank robbers in the 1930s. I read it all in one go and it was really good.
oooo I’m definitely adding that now!!! thank you!!
So glad this list exists cause I would have made it! I am ruled by the moon fully-
Always felt like when I noticed my personality and mood shift I would reliably look outside and behold a full or nearly full moon! 🌕🌖🌗🌘🌑🌒🌓🌔
the moon literally rules the oceans and we are mostly made of water so it only makes sense that we too are ruled by the moon 🙂↕️
Quite quite - one of my Halloween costumes was a moon goddess who told tarot oracle fortunes to party go-era so this all tracks. 🙂↕️
omg that’s so creative, what kind of fortunes did you tell?
I have a "moon witch" oracle tarot card deck made by cosmicvaleria (they are amazing I love them so much) and just asked people to pick a card and then interpreted it based on the person I knew them as and how it may apply to them. Often times people would tell me something afterwards and that would help me further interpret how it would impact/be meaningful to them! Part of my intuition/part psychology/human behavior understanding/part whimsy and mystical ;)
