What Counts as Literature?
“Literature” here is not strict or academic—it’s something personal.
If your site engages with writing in a thoughtful way, it likely belongs.
This includes:
- Book reviews, recommendations, and reading logs
- Essays, reflections, and literary analysis
- Poetry and creative writing
- Journals, commonplace books, or annotated thoughts
- Pages about what you’re currently reading or how you read
It can also include:
- Letters, fragments, or unfinished thoughts
- Fan essays or interpretations
- Experimental or hybrid writing
This space is not for:
- Purely commercial or AI-generated content
- Sites with no clear connection to reading or writing
- Promotion of bigotry or hate
In short:
If you care about books, writing, reading, creating—you belong here!

My recommendation for June is Annie John by Jamaica Kincaid. It's a coming-of-age that can be both charming and morbid. - marta
Walden Two - A 'novel of ideas' by B. F Skinner of a utopian society. Most people have probably heard of Skinner and are loosely aware of him as the 'father of behaviourism', but may not be aware of how complex (and frankly, a little bizarre) 'radical behaviourism' really was. It stirred up some controversy when it was new and there's definitely some eyebrow-raising ideas proposed (the most notable being that Skinner doesn't believe in free will), but it's still an interesting read for people fascinated by the history of psychology, or as a sort of speculative worldbuilding bible. - rolypolyphonic
I recently read The Ruins by Scott Smith. It's a psychological survival horror novel about a group of friends on vacation who fail to heed locals' warnings about going to a place. It's very slow and unrelenting, and I felt hope some times and despair the rest of the time. It's set during a time when digital technology was not uncommon, but the average person was yet to use a smartphone - which is such a golden setting for horror. - wave
My June recc is The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde. This to me is a very summery read, even kinda chique, after all it IS a classic. If you're looking for something about the interrelationships between art and life, while also being a foundational queer work, deffffffo recommend. - saintchachki
Finally got around to read Stoner by John Williams. It's about a man who lives a small life and it's one of the most beautiful things you'll ever read.
