Millions of books.
Where do you start?
Reading has been a lifeline. It has taught me, given me hope, and provided an escape, especially during the pandemic and in a world that feels like it’s constantly shifting. When the pace of change feels overwhelming, reading offers a way to slow down, reflect, and regain clarity.
I’m often asked for book recommendations, but with so many books out there, no single person can know them all. That’s why we created this, a shared resource where others can contribute.
This project began during the pandemic as booksread.by, and now it has a new home and name. Building on interviews led by Germaine Chong (Shu), Alicia Tan, and Dang Sering, we’re inviting new contributors to share their recommendations. The format remains the same: Which three books would you recommend, and what’s your favorite bookstore or library?
This is about connecting people who love reading with books worth reading. I hope you find something here that speaks to you.
