I will list the first book in the series and the upcoming book. I'm not including series from romances where it's hard to tell if the books are standalone or not (for my health🙃).

(I'm already questioning my sanity on how I'm going to maintain this, I wish we could make collaborative lists on here 😭)

Books that are just as good as the cover promises. AKA: Fantastic book covers that also happen to be fantastic books! List will be added to in the future because I can’t leave well enough alone. (Suggestions welcome, leave it in the comments.)

Adult & YA romantasy & fantasy romance books that are unique & addictive

based entirely on my personal taste (because it is infallible)

Fresh, original fantasy that makes me feel some type of way. Whether it be the characters, plot, writing style, or worldbuilding, these books stand out from the crowd as unique. Fantasy, and its many sub-genres, is highly saturated and at times it can feel like I'm reading the same story over and over again. This list is sure to surprise and delight even the most seasoned fantasy reader.

Books with average 4 or more 🌟 ratings and at least 100 points of engagement (reviews & posts) in Pagebound from the Master Fantasy and Romantasy List by readandtellstories. For those times when I want to find highly rated fantasy/romantasy books that aren't necessarily indie, self-pub. Books in a series will include only the first book. I can neither confirm nor deny the right for these books to have these ratings. This list will be updated monthly based on outputs from prime list.
