🍄✨️ Educational Books To Avoid Badly Done Fairy Bargains ✨️🍄

An incomplete list of fiction that casually mentions darning, patching, or otherwise repairing clothing and textiles, or where characters explicitly wear mended garments. I'm gonna be real with you, the number of books I've discovered mending in is so large I can't remember them all, so expect this list to grow as I continue to read and re/discover.

Suggestions welcome!

Wanna mend your own clothes? Check out my nonfiction list Opting Out of Fast Fashion! 🙂

Self-contained SFF books that belong to a series, offering a complete story without a multi-book commitment. A perfect way to sample immersive worlds while limiting potential disappointment – yet still leaving more to explore if you liked it.

Cozy and magical, books you can curl up with and read about magical worlds, great storytelling, and otherworldly romance

Just books I thought helped show the primal feminine rage we are all experiencing right now in the dumpster fire 🔥 of a planet

Stories that either retell Cinderella or showcase perspectives of different characters in Cinderella (the stepsisters, the stepmother…)

Craft, Performance and Art-focused Fantasy/Gothic

List of books with numbers in the title.

Romantasy for when I want something soft, charming, and romantic, but also a little strange. Magical odd jobs, bizarre worldbuilding, unconventional creatures, absurd premises played completely straight, and lovable weirdos falling in love. Cozy fantasy with enough plot, personality, and general nonsense to keep things interesting.

A careful study of fae politics, dark woods, and ancient folklore.
