@menziesii Has me thinking about having an appreciation for cookbooks, whether or not I'm able to make the recipes from them. I especially appreciate those that are written as home cook memoirs (as opposed to more sanitized professional chefs). Here are some from the Asian diaspora.
One I got as a gift:
"Ammu: Indian Home Cooking to Nourish Your Soul" - I chose it after hearing about a different South Indian home cooking book on "The Splendid Table" podcast

Ones I gave as a gift:
"Coconut and Sambal: Recipes from My Indonesian Kitchen" - heard an interview by the Indonesian Australian author on "The Splendid Table Podcast"
https://bookwyrm.social/book/1390526/s/coconut-and-sambal
"Melting Pot: Stories and Recipes from a Chinese American Daydreamer" - found on Asian Creative network

I got a proof copy of the new version of "Culture is Bad for You: Inequality in the Cultural and Creative Industries" (now available!) and I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
If you work in culture in ANY way at all in the UK, you have to read this. It's actually a wonderful read because it's been written by researchers who write like humans.
It's also, y'know, fascinating and really important.

#bookrec Dangerous Memories by Charlie Angus
Imho, this is a voice my generation (Z) needs to hear. At once rallying cry, biography, and manifesto, I'd say this is a must-read. 
Lucy Cooke: "Bitch - What does it mean to be female"
#ReadingOnTrains - finished! This was a recommendation by a friend and the book was an absolute joy. Like watching the most amazing nature documentary, just deeper. I learned so much about cool animals - and so much about history and present of (evolutionary) biology. Everything you want a science book to be and some more.
Read MODEL HOME by Rivers Solomon if you love quintessential queer black literature, haunted houses, fractured families, sprawling suburbs, loving cups of tea, gut-punching prose, late night sanctuary diners, Jenny Holzer's Abuse of Power, Mothers, dissociating, running away & the unexplainable.

A fine speculative-fiction author, my podcasting partner Ronald McGillvray has several books worth checking out, "Cutter's Deep" being my personal favorite. 
Llevo un 20% de The Mercy of Gods y puedo entender ahora la devoción que despiertan James S.A. Corey. El principio de esta novela debería ser aburridísima, pero ahí estás, enganchada al libro. Casi que me estorba que lleguen los malos 
Me preocupa porque me han dicho que a partir de ahí cambia mucho el tono y yo me quiero quedar con las intrigas y miserias científicas :(

This is copied from part of a list of books posted by Rhys Ting of books he read in 2024 that rewired his brain. Looks like a group of very interesting books.

Looking for historical fiction recommendations set in non-Western settings *or* in otherwise nontraditional settings (I really enjoyed reading Olaf Audunsson a while back which is set in thirteenth century Norway, right around when Christianity was still fairly new to the Scandinavian countries).
My latest read, "Mexicans on the Moon" by Pedro Iniguez is a speculative-fiction poetry collection. If that sounds interesting to you, it's absolutely worth a read but see my Goodreads review for details!
#BookRec: if you liked When the Angels Left the Old Country — for more angels & demons, try The City in Glass; for more Jewish diaspora, try The Story of the Forest.
For Christmas, my brother & his gf gave our niece a board book called The Story of Rap. It’s pretty good! Rhyming little bits that have a cartoon rendering of various foundational people, such as Grand Master Flash, on each page. Recommended! #BookRec #BabyBook
They also got her a park Adidas track suit, 3-6mo size. The cutest.
Hey friends. Needing a #BookRecommendation.
I had some trauma growing up around cleaning the house and it’s followed me into adulthood where the house is clean, but it could be better. What books talk about #cleaning in terms of #MentalHealth, healing, #positivity, in a gentle, kind, nurturing sort of way? I want to build better habits at the house in 2025.
