Book Recommendations Based on If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power by Halsey

Hi everyone! In the past on the blog, we have written a few posts celebrating new releases by Taylor Swift by recommending books based on her songs - and when Halsey came out with If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power, we thought why not do the same? Today we bring you 26 book…

Recommending Books Based on Iconic Films

Hello friends, Vera here! I recently rewatched The Breakfast Club on Netflix, a film that, while isn't without its faults, is an absolute classic. As I was watching that film, I had the idea for this post, so I decided to think of a couple of other classic films and recommend you all some books…

Recommending a Variety of Underrated Books

Hello friends, Vera here. After the fantastic reaction my previous post on underrated books garnered, I decided to come back with another recommendation post like it.

Books With Incredible Families

Hello friends! Recently, I had the idea to share my favorite books that use the found family tropes and as I was working on that post, I realized that there are so many bookish families in general - i.e. books where the characters are related to each other - that I'd love to scream about.…
