Recs if you like Red City...

we love a man who yearns in this house

Duologies. Duologies! A list full of duologies. This has a collection of titles I'm interested in and some recommended to me. To save you the trouble, I made sure to put both books in a duology in this list. Enjoy! 💐

Fantasy that features stories and characters from a criminal underworld. Think rival syndicates, crime lords and gang leaders, thieving crews and elaborate heists, shadowy assassins, and illicit dealings. Feedback and recs welcome!

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

Hii, everyone ♡ I am a very big fan of the booktuber @caricanread so I thought I would make a list of all the books she has read this year! ✰

No I am not a white girl who ‘is newly Chinese’. But I am a white girl WHO LITERALLY WILL CONSUME ANY ASIAN FANTASY I CAN GET MY HANDS ON!!! Like literally fly me away because these authors and their worlds are SO GOOD!!!

Now that we are all waiting for the new side stories after the ending of Arcane there is a huge empty space begging to be satisfied with the same feeling of season one (mostly, season two went very middle class and we lost the potential of what could have been one of the greatest revolutionary stories in recent media)

Criteria for the books consist generally • Class schisms • Political intrigue • Moral questions of privilege and responsibility • Picks with queer stories

Natalie Naudus has narrated hundreds of audiobooks so bear with me as I try to get them all on this list!

Get on the hype train for these upcoming releases of books in a series. Now is the perfect time to jump on board a new series or start a re-read.

Covers the next 12 months - please send recs

I will list the first book in the series and the upcoming book. Updates once a month.

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

Nominees and winners of every category of the Good Reads Choice Awards for the year of 2025. Some books overlap so they were only entered once.

Where our heroes have both access to powers beyond our understanding and also access to a toilet

I hope this doesn’t find you by Ann Liang introduced me to the rivals to lovers trope so these are the books I found while desperately trying to fill the hole in my heart! (Some of these books contain spice and some of them don’t, so make sure you check whether they do or don’t according to your preference)

Best fantasy books with an academic rivals-to lovers romance

"an imagined world or society in which there is great suffering or injustice, typically one that is totalitarian or post-apocalyptic. many of the people lead dehumanized and fearful lives"

All the 2025 BOTM monthly, add on, and Allurial titles

"By the breath of Set, what sorcery is this?! These scribes of the far north and the distant west have imagined worlds that almost - almost - match the splendor of my own court. They speak of dragons? I have hunted lions in the heat of the Retjenu! They speak of rings of power? I wear the crown of the Two Lands, which binds the world from the Delta to the cataracts of Kush! ​Still... there is a certain charm to these 'high fantasies' that I can not deny."

Books that give the vibe of Full metal Alchemist

New books releasing in October of 2025! Trad & indie, marginalized authors prioritized
