Recs if you like The Blacktongue Thief (Blacktongue, #1)...

I've noticed most fantasy lists are saturated with YA and romantasy books, but some of us crave adult high-stakes adventures. If you enjoy epic stakes, deep characters, and majestic world-building (without the distraction of romance) this list is for you. For series, I've only added the first book. 📖

Suggestions always welcome! SFF books written to be humorous, satiric, or otherwise meant to entertain and make readers laugh. (This was a quest idea i was thinking about, but I'm not committed enough to this to make it)

Another resource for those looking for butches in books.

Disclaimer: I do not necessarily recommend all of these books. Please check out my page for reviews of the ones I’ve read!

audiobooks where the narrator is the author! any book goes, no matter the genre. there may be multiple versions of the audiobook, but at least one version has the author as narrator. please suggest more in the comments!

Looking for books across genres that feature a knight character? Maybe a Paladin who is hunting a killer and protecting a perfumer or a Knight fighting demons in post apocalyptic Appalachia? Look no further!

D&D-esque inspired list. Ive seen a bunch but not exactly what I was looking for, which is essentially, "rag-tag team of misfits with different powers/strengths go on a quest and get into shenanigans" I.e. Legends and Latte wouldn't fit here because they're not questing. Also avoiding lit r.p.g like Dungeon Crawler Carl cause that feels like cheating 😝

The top 100 fantasy novels according to the r/fantasy list as voted on by the community - this includes series (represented by the first book in the series) and standalones.

The list is in order with Middle Earth ( represented by Lord of the rings) being number 1 going down to the 100th.

(Note: Mistborn is position 8 while Cosmere is position 35 - as Mistborn is within the Cosmere I lumped it in with the 35th position so it is lower down than on the original list)

Books that have significant cats, because what bookworm doesn't enjoy cats? (For series I have only included book 1.)

criteria: gay, armed

A collection of litRPG books, or simply books that could be a side quest (or whole campaign) in DnD and other RPGs!

fiction books with a main character or featured side character that fits the D&D Rogue class (or at least mostly vibes that way)! here for the sneaking, the out-witting, the dastardly plotting. open to any recs and input!

Audiobooks where the author narrates themselves (or is apart of a cast, not just some preface type stuff) Open for suggestions

For those who can’t get enough of the dark & gritty setting of the Dark Ages.

As the name suggests this list is for my beloved fantasy thieves and criminals, lying, cheating, charming, their way out of situations. Yet we root for them, we love them.

book recs for orange readers according to read your color on substack | updated periodically

horror, historical, and fantasy that are all in the medieval gothic genre. also includes books that are heavily inspired but are more scifi/fantasy to get a fully comprehensive vibe

A highly unscientific list of Fantasy and Sci-fi books where the audiobook leveled up the reading experience. I’ve either listened to them or they’ve come highly recommended. Input always welcome!

Books that reminded me of DnD If you have any suggestions as well please let me know I’ll add them

Fantasy books where tattoos are neither mere adornments nor static marks. Each line and swirl weaves itself into the fabric of their life, unfurling their story. Characters choose their ink with care or with reckless abandon. Every symbol may stand as their shield, or just as easily become their undoing.

Aside from the obvious recommendation of all the books written about the game itself, these are books that gave me similar vibes to when I played the games. Others are here because they reminded me of a romanceable character, or because they had similar character arcs!
