Tam Lin Retellings






Classic Fantasy By Female Authors
A collection of older, sometimes lesser-known, fantasy (or science fantasy) books written by incredible women and published primarily between the 1980s and early 2000s (with nods to a few older ones). In a time when female fantasy authors were few and far between, these authors carved out their own space in the genre. These stories might not be mainstream hits today, but they are full of brilliant magic, deep characters, and/or worlds that helped shape the genre. (First in Series / standalones only for now - open to suggestions!)

Less than 200 pages
Hi! I have a book club (a very neglected one) where we read books that are less than 200 pages. I thought to make a list in case anyone likes to read shorter books. They're great to get you out of slumps and to achieve your reading goals.
