JK Rowling is a bigot who uses her platform to hurt transfolks and other marginalized groups (plus she literally just quoted Mein Kampf on the bird site). If you're still supporting her in 2025, don't bother talking to me.

a list of fantasy book recs free of problematic authors so you can discover without any stress of promoting them!

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! 💐

And sometimes you find the right book, but... can you even call that shade blue?

Some of my favorite books by Muslim authors+ books on my tbr! ( I’ll keep adding to the list)

Bored of fantasy books that are loosely set in Medieval Europe? Me too. Here are some epic, adventurous, mythological, dark, and spellbinding fantasies set in ancient worlds outside of Europe.
