Bibliophilia at its best - books about books, readers, libraries, bookstores!

mermaids, fairies, and anything whimsy is such fun way to spend these warmer months

🎶 Come, little children, I take thee away / into the land of enchantment 🎶 that nostalgic feeling when you were a child and you could see glimpses of a new fantastical world of magic and wonders basically a collection of stories where children and teens discover a new world with hidden dark undertones which also includes BIPOC/LGBTQ+ representation

You know when you're a kid and you have a vivid imagination ? So picture this: You just started a series and go reenact as if you're in the book

Most of these are YA or teen books

This is a list of books for kids who need something to read! It ranges from 6-12 and included in here are all sorts of genres! Recommendations welcome. 😊( When there are series included on here, only the first book is added, this is the same for all my lists).

Intended audience ages 8-15ish but it's so good and comforting for any age ☺️

These are all either books that are the first in their series or work as a standalone book

A non-exhaustive list of magical middle grade alternatives to the series which shall not be named. Only the first book of those that are part of a series is listed so as not to overwhelm. This will grow as more alternatives are found / published.

Healing my inner child

middle grade and young adult

i love this story to death, so here’s a wip list about it. taking suggestions.

brothers grimm and other fairytale retellings, fatalism, themes of freedom and choice, teen-young adult audience, fantasy modernism, etc.

Books in which the characters 'go into' real, physical objects in their own world to get to another world/universe. It has to be objects that are not usually meant to 'transport' you, like vehicles or doorways.

✅ The Land of Stories: The characters have to 'go into' a book to get to the Land of Stories. ❌ Harry Potter: The characters take a train to another location within their own world. ❌ Coraline: The characters go through a secret door to get to the other world.

Recs always welcome!

You’re never too old to enjoy a good ol’ children’s fantasy book. My #1 move is to read children’s fantasy when in a reading slump 🫶 (Many of these are a series, I only list the first in each series)

This beloved story has been rewritten so many times, so here's a master list of some of the most popular Snow White retellings!
