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!

I read a book earlier this year called The Old Lore of the Moon by Timothy Harley, which was a reprint of an old book on moon lore. A bit dense, bit super interesting!
that sounds really interesting!!! I’m gonna add it now!
such a sick list omg !! 🌝
I was in the comments looking for this 🙂↕️ thank you for your service
it was my honor 🫡
thank you!! I had a lot of fun making it!
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 ;)
Cool list. Here's another one: The Ash Moon by Michelle Dare
thank you!!! adding it now 🙂↕️
An Alchemy of Moonlight by David Ferraro!
Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice and The Order of the Pure Moon Reflected in Water by Zen Cho would fit here!
Oooh yes! Thank you so much! Will add them now!!!
May I suggest The Moonstone? :)
you absolutely may and I will be adding it now!!!
