Recs if you like Magic for Liars...

Standalone fantasy books that won't make you invest your life in a dozen installments

fantasy murder mysteries yayy

Book covers with typography oriented in non-standard alignments, instead of the typical horizontal + left to right text alignment. Or: graphic design is my passion, and today we are learning about text paths 🙂‍↕️. This is an immensely silly List, and always open to suggestions—vertical text, circular, upside down, anything goes!

Fiction featuring sisters, because sisters are the best. (Note that not all sister relationships are easy, they are complex and layered and sometimes difficult.)

books with covers that look like another

A book list celebrating novels with bold flat illustrated covers. I'm talking colourful, graphic, design-forward books that look beautiful on your shelf and would inspire any designer. All genres welcome but let's stick with YA to adult books.

kids are great. however as a person who doesn’t want kids, I have fatigue around how many novels position motherhood as the epicenter of women’s lives. i’m gathering books here about women in their late twenties and older that don’t focus on motherhood or children. I haven’t read all these fyi!! plz share recs; i’m mostly looking for lit fic.

Spooky, eerie, often gory, & with healthy dose of mystery; stories that spoke to both the horror & fantasy lovers in me & had enough heart break to revive the emo teen I used to be 🥲 •——•—•——•—•——•—•——•

Forget everything you know about the golden hour. In these halls, knowledge isn't just power—it's a blood sacrifice, a cursed bargain, or a secret that could tear the stars from the sky. Whether you're navigating the lethal corridors of the Scholomance, deciphering the forbidden linguistics of Oxford’s silver-working, or joining a secret society at Yale that deals in the ghosts of the past, this list is for the scholars who prefer their ink black and their magic dangerous.

an alternative for those who want to be whisked away to a magical school, that may or may not be deadly at times, created by lovely humans who aren't terfs! Misfits & Magic is such a fun, campy 2 season long D20 side quest on Dropout with a small cast reclaiming tropes and ideas that shouldn't belong to just one terrible person. I made sure to include queer and trans fantasies with school settings and just general good feeling stories!

Books that sisters should read together. ❤️ Dedicated to my sisters 🤪😀 featuring sisters or found family ❤️

Books which include twins, preferably as main characters or as supporting characters which are a big part of the story . All genres including non-fiction.
