Bibliophilia at its best - books about books, readers, libraries, bookstores!

D&D-esque inspired list. Ive seen a bunch but not exactly what I was looking for, which is essentially, "rag-tag team of misfits with different powers/strengths go on a quest and get into shenanigans" I.e. Legends and Latte wouldn't fit here because they're not questing. Also avoiding lit r.p.g like Dungeon Crawler Carl cause that feels like cheating 😝

fantasical libraries and whimsical bookshops, these books add a magical charm to familiar bookish places

You want a fantasy book without too much stress and a guaranteed happy ending? Maybe magic and a muffin? Or talking creatures drinking tea? Sentient houseplants who are occasionally bossy? I gotcha. 😉

Ready to give up the ways of our city life, join a coven, pick up your speciality magic and make it far? This is the cozy edition of it and it includes fantasy, romance & PNR for the main part. (Please always check whether it's cozy for you as its subjective)
