What candy matches “Your Taste”!? Which candy fits your current read, or favorite book the best?
My taste is a mix of mystery and romance, so I would say a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup, salty & sweet!

The List feature on here is such a fun way for individual users to curate collections for the community, but I feel that it can sometimes be hard for well-made lists to receive traction - especially if they come from users with less followers! - so I wanted to take a moment to create a thread for people to shout-out their favorite lists made by other people which have 10 upvotes or less. I'd love to hear about why you like the lists, too! & if we get enough posts on this thread, I'll link them all into this top post so it'll be a little repository for the future
Here are some of mine:
The Gauntlet by @Piranesi (5 upvotes) - What with all the talk of 'personal curriculums' that have been floating around, this is such a timely list! The basic premise of this list is to read books which increase in difficulty as you go. We start with PJO The Lightning Thief and end with The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa, with titles such as The Princess Bride by William Goldman, Beloved by Toni Morrison, Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov, and The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner in between. The gamified aspect of "leveling up" as you go is super fun and engaging, and I personally think it's really cool that it's like we have our own English teacher/prof curating a syllabus for us!
Fantasy and organized crime by @cetra (6 upvotes) - One of my favorite niches in the vast realm of fantasy in general, this is a small by diverse list of fantasy that involves criminal underworlds, con artists, rival families, and shadowy assassins set in worlds that bring in the magic and wonder we expect from fantasy.
castlevania type beat by @thetravellingcat (4 upvotes) - I devoured the show (both the original and Nocturne) on Netflix earlier this year, so I thought it was really fun that someone had put together a book list for it on here! Classic medieval/gothic/horror vampire vibes, romance included but optional
Intro Poetry - Taste Finder by @Avalon (8 upvotes) - I feel like people don't talk about poetry as much on here, it was cool to see that someone had started putting together lists for poetry collections. This list touches upon a variety of themes and authors as a way to help provide a "gateway" to finding other poets who resonate with you
Non fiction science books for bio/chem/phys/med by @Wolkenlaeuferin (7 upvotes) - A fun list of non-fiction books centered on natural science topics, from my personal favorite niche (nature non-fic) to topics like the chemistry of money and cancer and coding/computer programming. I enjoy the range of topics in this list, and I think it's a well-curated collection to get started with reading about non-fiction that's interesting
