As much medieval-era literature as I can possibly gather into one list! Largely focused on romances, lais, Arthuriana, &c.

Overlooked, lesser known classics from all over the world and of many genres.

This list also exists as a book club on Fable under the same name.

My attempt at a french lit starter pack. I'm doing this with the goal of mixing up the genres each time, so that you can get a feel of the whole range of things french lit has to offer. Might move stuff around as I go, as I plan on making this a series, taking the side quests starter packs as inspiration.

This first one is a bit on the classics side.

All fiction books that appear in the Tiny Bookshop catalogue! Would sort them by genre as I read along.

This list comprises numerous French classics, from romantic epics, to realist critiques of society, to philosophical fiction, to scandalous stories, poetry, & more! I’ll be updating it sporadically.

A list of medieval classics for those who are new to the genre. This list isn’t fully finished; recommendations welcome!
