I think I may well be really late to the game on this one, but who else finds themselves glued to Five Books? There’s something deeply compelling about just getting someone who knows stuff about a thing and then getting them to pick five awesome books about it. It makes for excellent reading and some great reading recommendations. There are so many subjects it covers, too, that it must give everyone a big happy once in a while.

From the general to the specific (there are selections on feminism, and also Islam and feminism) and books from all over the world, I’ve got some serious booklust. Which is deeply worrying, for I do not have the bank balance to be feeling such high levels of desire for the written word. Never mind! The website itself will just have to be enough for me for a while.

The only sad thing is that I can’t just browse around by author, which would be excellent. But that’s just me being a greedy book lover.

Such a simple idea, so nicely done. In many ways, it’s like Pop Tarts.
