Recs if you like The Atlas Six...

When the narrator(s) makes the book even better. For new listeners and audiobook elites, here is a range of different genres and narrators that excel at audio perfection.

campuses, the occult, a bacchanalia or two. only true dark academia in this list 🍂🚬☕️

fantasy murder mysteries yayy

in progress - taking suggestions

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic / lesbian characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Don't shoot the messenger.

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

dark academia books with queer and trans MCs

a list of fantasy book recs free of problematic authors so you can discover without any stress of promoting them!

books featuring or set in magic schools / universities / academies, aka, one of the best subgenres in existence !

this list has books for all ages (am actively looking for more adult options), most of the books are dark academia, and ALL of them are fantastical 🪄 recs welcome <3

(alternatively, books to fall in love with & share with others to help avoid supporting or promoting JKR. i will never shut up ab how the Nevermoor series deserves the popularity that Harry Potter enjoys !)

These audiobooks do accents so badly they'll give you second-hand embarrassment. Please let me know what books I should add to this list.

Many of these are the beginning of series, but all of them are about academics in fantasy settings. All cross genres are welcome.

books/series where at least part of the plot is about a dude (gender neutral & for the vibes 🙂‍↕️) and their weird attachment to a house (please note attachment to said house may not be fully explored until later books)

An on-going attempt to track Asian authors in my Interested/TBR (and hopefully Finished) categories. Books are generally fiction/lit fic/fantasy with some memoirs. Authors span West to East Asia, the Asian diaspora, and mixed-race folx.

Eclectic choices of stories to forget life sucks.

books with covers that look like another

fantasical libraries and whimsical bookshops, these books add a magical charm to familiar bookish places

An incomplete list of fantasy works by Filipino authors and/or based on Filipino mythology.

these are books with numbers in their titles, starting at one (1) and going through infinity

taking suggestions!!!

Because Milo winter isn't the first to do so! Books and novels with illustrations have always existed! And I love seeing art peppered in through out a novel to get the extra boost as a reader. So here are novels with pretty illustrations in case you want that extra pizzazz in your books.

love triangles, rectangles, octagons, you name it! as long as there's lots of glaring and yearning, i'm here for it! one of my favorite guilty pleasure tropes especially in fantasy (YA/adult) ദ്ദി◝ ⩊ ◜.ᐟ

a work in progress... always open to recs
