My unhinged birthday month TBR so far. So far, because I have not yet gone to the library to check out books for this theme, and what says "motivated by joy/delight" more than a dozen (or more) books fresh from the library? (The two library books already here are holdovers from June)
I have decided to make my reading theme for my birthday month "motivated by joy/delight." Got any recs for me?

There is clearly not enough poetry on this list, so I may add a Chen Chen rereading to my July plans. To be clear, to be in this stack the book could be about/full of joy/delight, or when I picked the book up in my hands I was filled with joy/delight at the thought of reading it.

I got a few recs last night, but what else should I have an eye out for when I go to the library?
