Recs if you like Dire Bound...

I'm sure some of these are already on your TBR, so might as well add some more! Let me know if I am missing any of your favorites!

As a tall-ish girl myself, every time I come across an FMC who is described as tiny, I yearn a bit more for some tall FMC representation — we can be love interests too! 🥹😍 So I made this list of (mostly romance and fantasy) books with a tall FMC. Whether she is taller than her partner, or they are somehow EVEN TALLER than her, all is welcome here 🫶

I haven’t read every single book on this list, so please correct me if I am wrong somewhere. More book recs super appreciated!!! 🤍

Suggestions are always welcome! Co-authored books in any genre (i.e. books that were written by at least two authors, either listed under one pen name or credited individually).

Romantasy books to read to escape reality that AREN’T ACOTAR and Fourth Wing.

Muscly, beefy and strong female main characters. This is beef even the vegans can get behind! Any genre and sexuality welcome! GIVE ME ALL THE BEEF!

The god tier list

Get on the hype train for these upcoming releases of books in a series. Now is the perfect time to jump on board a new series or start a re-read.

Covers the next 12 months. Updates once a month - please send recs

Change to list view and sort by author for easier browsing.

I will list the first book in the series and the upcoming book. I'm not including series from romances where it's hard to tell if the books are standalone or not (for my health🙃).

(I'm already questioning my sanity on how I'm going to maintain this, I wish we could make collaborative lists on here 😭)

love triangles, rectangles, octagons, you name it! as long as there's lots of glaring and yearning, i'm here for it! one of my favorite guilty pleasure tropes especially in fantasy (YA/adult) ദ്ദി◝ ⩊ ◜.ᐟ

a work in progress... always open to recs

Enter a court where stories are not simply told… they are embodied. This collection is reserved for duet and full-cast audiobooks only! Unlike single narration (one voice for all characters) or dual narration (one narrator per chapter or POV), duet narration means both narrators perform together throughout the story, each voicing their character in every scene. Full-cast audiobooks take it even further, with multiple voice actors embodying the entire world.

Nominees and winners of every category of the Good Reads Choice Awards for the year of 2025. Some books overlap so they were only entered once.

Romantasy books my favorite Toks are reading...both mainstream and indie

Give me more badass FMCs who don’t wait for someone else to save the day!! Quick with a blade, quicker with a comeback, these bad b*tches take on monsters, villains, and terrible life choices with equal ferocity. If you’re looking for women who break rules, break hearts, and occasionally break a few bones, this is the ultimate list for you.

Need dark fantasy recs? 🖤

Vampires that bite. Dragons that burn. Fae that lie. Mates that ruin you.

Curses that cling. Magic that corrupts.

Enemies who want your throat—and your heart.

If you like your fantasy dark, deadly, and delicious…
You’re in the right place 🫶🏻

** Only the first book in the series will be listed **

romance releases i’m looking forward to

This list gathers fiction where wolves take centre stage. As companions, narrators, and symbols of survival. These aren’t werewolves or shapeshifters, but wolves, running wild across the pages. Wolf stories often explore survival, wilderness, and loss. Be mindful that some books on this list may contain intense or tragic themes.

(Fantasy wolf stories that don’t involve shifting make this list!)

Micro-tropes: He takes care of her when she’s sick, braids her hair, bathes her, takes off her make up, helps her breathe …
