I want to read a book about…
Feeling something. Wondering something. Needing something.
This site is a growing collection of thoughtful book lists—organized by mood, questions, and moments in life—rather than genres or trends.
Choosing a book shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Here, each list starts the same way—I want to read a book…—and ends with a short, carefully chosen set of recommendations, plus honest notes about what each book is really like.
No algorithms. No hype. Just suggestions from your book bestie for what to read next.
How it works:
- Each post focuses on one feeling, topic, or life moment
- Lists include 3–5 books, across fiction and nonfiction
- Every book includes a short synopsis and a few thoughtful takeaways
If you don’t know what you’re in the mood for yet, start with whatever phrase sounds most like the thought in your head. There are no wrong turns here, friend.
