When the narrator(s) makes the book even better. For new listeners and audiobook elites, here is a range of different genres and narrators that excel at audio perfection.

JK Rowling is a bigot who uses her platform to hurt transfolks and other marginalized groups (plus she literally just quoted Mein Kampf on the bird site). If you're still supporting her in 2025, don't bother talking to me.

2026 is merciless. We lost another one, people. Pour one out for a legend. I'm devastated. Clue is one of my all-time favorite movies. I saw Rocky Horror Picture Show on the Queen Mary when I was in high school. They wrote slut on my chest and had me perform sapphic erotica for the audience. I had misread the vibe and was wearing a sailor suit my friend had cut the legs and crotch out of. It was an incredible (eye-opening) evening for me. We will miss you so much, Tim.

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

fantasy books that feature necromancy - with protagonists or antagonists as necromancers. for magic systems that are more than a little macabre

Chill-fueled journeys through frostbitten kingdoms, forbidden wards, and legends carved in ice. Perfect for readers craving grand myths wrapped in winter magic.

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

A collection of stories about women whose obscure knowledge, forbidden studies, forgotten traditions, or relentless curiosity become the thing standing between the world and disaster.

A list of 100 australian books from a variety of genres, not the same 10 boring white men. adding my lists from fable (Flag emoji for search visibility purposes)

A list of Fantasy books where the magic system is based off of music in some form

Because magic and murder do kind of mix

The top 100 fantasy novels according to the r/fantasy list as voted on by the community - this includes series (represented by the first book in the series) and standalones.

The list is in order with Middle Earth ( represented by Lord of the rings) being number 1 going down to the 100th.

(Note: Mistborn is position 8 while Cosmere is position 35 - as Mistborn is within the Cosmere I lumped it in with the 35th position so it is lower down than on the original list)

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.

Bring on those Gen Y memories! A list of books likely to give people born between 1981 and 1996 a lot of feelings.

This list is for those of us who grew up eagerly awaiting the Scholastic Book Fair, watching Reading Rainbow (or Wishbone!), and dreaming of a free personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.

Note: these are not books published in 1981-1996, but books that had a hold on the millennial generation.

Also check out the Dear America series, American Girl series & Royal Diaries series.

woman mc + women main cast

A highly unscientific list of Fantasy and Sci-fi books where the audiobook leveled up the reading experience. I’ve either listened to them or they’ve come highly recommended. Input always welcome!
