Recs if you like The Mask of Mirrors...

When the narrator(s) makes the book even better. For new listeners and audiobook elites, here is a range of different genres and narrators that excel at audio perfection.

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

Books where one of the main character(s) pretends to be someone they’re not—literally. Always open to suggestions!

Books that illustrate some aspect of the immigrant experience - in fantasy, or in the real world; in childhood, or in old age; in history, or in the modern day. (work in progress - recs welcome!)

Suggestions are always welcome! Co-authored books in any genre (i.e. books that were written by at least two authors, either listed under one pen name or credited individually).

When dreams become real: through portals into dream dimensions, through nightmares escaping into the waking world, or by any other means the author can imagine. Includes books of all genres; suggestions always welcome!

Why deal with heterosexuality when you don't have to?

secret plots, political moves, and pursuits of power all within imperial, royal, or noble courts.

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)

If you tell me it's political fantasy, I don't need to hear more, thank you

(I might add a few historical fiction as well if it's heavily political -in my opinion, or if it's recommended as such)

I've been a fan of card magic for quite some time and tarot is so in!

woman mc + women main cast

Aka my favourite fantasy subgenre where we get both magic and intricate plannings to pull off something previously thought impossible (usually a break-in of some kind) and often everything then turns out to be much more complicated than previously thought

(For series I only included the first book of each)

Fantasy inspired by Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Albania, Serbia, Malta, Slovenia, and/or Croatia (myths, setting, etc.)
