A list of First books in Fantasy series (or standalones) published in 1980s-2000s written by female authors. Many of these authors are/were prolific writers so most additions are limited to their debut book or most popular series. Go read more by these authors!

A collection of older, lesser-known, fantasy (or science fantasy) books written by incredible women. In a time when female fantasy authors were few and far between, these authors carved out their own space in the genre. These stories might not be mainstream hits today, but they are full of brilliant magic, deep characters, and/or worlds that helped shape the genre. (First in Series / standalones only for now - open to suggestions!)

From Horror, to Romance, to Thrillers, and Fantasy. Each you can sink your teeth into😉

Tired of worlds in books that seem too grounded in reality? This is the list for you! It features speculative fiction (fantasy, sci fi, horror) and new weird books with worlds that are extremely different from anything found on earth. Only the first book in a series is included. I have not read most of the books on this list, so comment if you think a book doesn’t fit the spirit of the list. I’m also always open to suggestions for books to add!

Technically for the HRCYED rainbow challenge and the coat of many colors secret challenge but if you just like your color titles then I hope you find something for you!
