Recs if you like Mort...

books in which Death, or a god of Death, or the Grim Reaper (or a Grim Reaper), is personified. This list will NOT include the works of Neil Gaiman (ew)

*SFF novels which use footnotes as a secondary narrative, paratext, or metacommentary on events in the main narrative.

Books with prominent non-human characters who are confused, horrified, fascinated, or delighted by human behavior!

Please add suggestions in the comments because I need more books like these 💜

Because if I don’t laugh I’ll cry. The more absurd the better, and suggestions welcome.

Self-contained SFF books that belong to a series, offering a complete story without a multi-book commitment. A perfect way to sample immersive worlds while limiting potential disappointment – yet still leaving more to explore if you liked it.

**Books with long footnotes (sometimes unnecessary but I love them) —I welcome suggestions for all my lists! (I want to keep in a good balance between fiction and non fiction tho so keep that in mind)

recommendations from the wife worm herself (source: naddpod)

Featuring representations of the Grim Reaper, soul collectors, or gods over death and dying.

Name generators my beloveds. Just a list made by someone whose D&D characters were mostly christened with the help of RNG. The one and only criterion: Title is a first/given name (or nickname too)! Some are verified by the book actually containing a character with that name.

Playing the catch up game!

Last year my slump hit me hard so here’s a collection of quick read to help you catch up or just town over the line in time!

It’s a mix but promise the all pack a punch! All <270 pages 🥳

books i’m hoping to read for my first r/fantasy bingo

All main novels related to Discworld by Terry Pratchett

Books that feature a personification of Death who's a bit of a sweetheart. Maybe has a soft spot for cats. Maybe adopts neglected children and gives them a loving if unconventional home. That kind of thing.

Disclaimer: I have not read all the books in this list. Recommendations welcome!

Literally. A personification of death. A god or godess of death. A grim reaper who knows who is meant to die and does that job.

Found family but specifically parent and child relationships (not sure why I love this so much but it’s underrated)

Excellent stories for fall reading. A mix of scary, witchy, cozy, and/or mushroom-y fantasy/horror books included for all the fall moods.

In April 2003 the BBC's Big Read began the search for the nation's best-loved novel, and we asked you to nominate your favourite books.

Books that can be read on archive.org for free that look interesting - go and search up your tbr, this is only what I want to read so in no way a comprehensive list ☺️🌸 If you see this list after clicking on a book, you’ll know it’s available on archive.org Disclaimer: Some books are so hard to get tho because they are constantly borrowed

Warm, comforting books to squirrel away in when life gets a bit much💜.
