Recs if you like Agnes Aubert's Mystical Cat Shelter...

Fantasy romance and romantasy with at least one MMC who doesn't fit the Shadow Daddy archetype in one way or another.

I'm talking genuinely kind and caring heroes, nerdy or academic interests, or a body type that isn't tall and jacked. (No climbing these men like trees here!) Only men who are sad wet cats, sweet cinnamon rolls, or pathetic losers allowed 💖

Inspired by buttercheese69's forum post on the topic.

cats across genres! these books range from books all about cats to books that feature a cat, and all are cat-friendly!

Books that inspired or are similar to Studio Ghibli films

books w/ full names in the title (mostly fiction)

shops, emporiums, and apothecaries selling magical wares. (please note: shops must sell magical items, not simply be magical themselves)

books that feature an animal (real & fantastical alike) as a side character, companion, or a pet!

an FMC named agnes? more likely than you’d think

Stories to read curled up warm and cosy while the weather is grey and stormy, blustery and bleak. Or. just when you want a fantasy that’s both dark and cozy!

Cats, cats and more cats! Welcome to The Cat Love Club where we curl up with books featuring (suprise) cats, the perfect reading companions 🐈 List credit to my own cat because she is inspirational 😩✨️

A list of cozy fiction for when the world is heavy and the Book Club book is too much.

Books are cozy based on other lists or cute-munity reccs. Your milage may vary.

books where sisters’ love, hatred, or general angst towards each other is a main factor in [making you cry]/furthering the plot. Including classics/popular fiction, but particularly taking recc’s for standalone/underrepresented genres/nonfiction!!

frilly men who simp. (these often end up being fae or highborn gentlemen, but don’t have to be.) …my favourite kind of love interest

I asked a while ago for easy/comfy reads when I have a migraine, and @KittenInACave encouraged me to make it into a list as opposed to my own shelf. recs welcome!

Just a list of books coming out in 2026 that I’m really excited for :) it will be updated as the months go by! It will be a mix of: high fantasy, romance fantasy, sci-fi, gothic, horror, lit fic, historical fiction, retellings, poetry, romance, & more!!

Enjoy reading fantasy but feel stuck in a rut of political intrigue and heavy world building? Take a breather and enjoy the roses in a cozy, whimsical world.

From crimes and heists to quests and tests… Here are some mysterious fantasy books that don’t revolve around murder! The “mystery” may be central to the plot, or may be a sprinkle of intrigue on the side. Have fun and get solving!!

This is to accompany my “fantasy whodunnit !” list, which is, indeed, more murder-centric.

Cozy fantasy with magic, witches, faeries, and warm, whimsical vibes. Always open to more recs ❤

Hii, everyone ♡ I am a very big fan of the booktuber @caricanread so I thought I would make a list of all the books she has read this year! ✰
