    Some of my recommendations:
    On Colonialism: The Sympathizer by Viet Thanh Nguyen. This is an absolutely stunning book that I am currently reading but cannot help scream off the rooftops about. It's utterly beautiful to me!
    Contemporary literary that doesn't feel pretentious: Where the Heart is by Billie Letts. A book that will capture your heart and make you fall in love with the simple beauty of literary and contemporary fiction.
    Mystery/Thriller: Still See You Everywhere by Lisa Gardner. This is an amazing fast paced, unputdownable book that I couldn't help but finish in a day. Lisa Gardner's books often manage to do that for me.
    Books to read when you want to feels smart: Non Fiction: Caste by Isabel Wilkerson. Fiction: Prophet Song by Paul Lynch. These aren't books to read to feel smart but to learn about the world and some of its most crucial and fundamental issues in a beautiful and accessible manner.

    The algorithm brought me here. It’s a nice change from the usual book channels.

    For historical sapphic romance I always recommend A Long Time Dead by Samara Breger and Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall!

    The Thing About Home by Rhonda McKnight is so heartwarming, found family, and everything you mentioned in the first rec. I found it on Tiktok.

    Hi! saved the video to take notes on recommendations! I really love mother-daughter relationship. I have read Annie John by Jamaica Kincaid and became a favorite book. Another book that touches on maternity, not on mother-daughter specifically, is Joys of motherhood by Buchi Emecheta! ❤❤

    I want to read an urban fantasy book that reminds me of Final Fantasy or a sci-fi book that reminds me of Persona.
