Recs if you like Hell Bent...

I started keeping a list on my phone every time I caught a character drooling over the love interest's forearms and now I am sharing my findings with the world! I shall continue to conduct this important groundbreaking research for the sake of all mankind . Looking for collaborators! If you find any mentions of sexy forearms in your books, I would love to add it!

Note: Inclusion in this list doesn't mean I loved the book, strangely, some of these books are my lowest rated reads. 🤷🏻‍♀️

katabasis (n.) “descent”; often referring to a descent into the underworld, or the realm of the dead.

Maybe the people are magical, maybe the library is. Maybe these aren’t as fictional as they seem.

Recommendations encouraged!

these books are based in hell 😈

taking any and all recommendations!

Here's every book so far from BOTM's monthly shortlist since February 2015 for anyone who wants to read them all like I do!

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that I think matches at least one of these cover prompts: craft, food, motion, biomes/landscapes, animals, weather.

I can't be the only one who want to remember all the books without jumping around in a video, right?

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! ✰

The goal: to have the most comprehensive complete list of vampire books, fiction and otherwise, in the world. Then? I’ll read them all.

Please send recs <3

red tape but make it fantasy (in which the magic has rules, whether whimsical or bureaucratic)

Books with a rabbit on the cover, of course. Or a hare.

A mix of different books that all centre around the “dark academia” genre ✨

books that have you constantly questioning what the hell is going on suggestions and recommendations very much appreciated

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.

Books in which the main character finds themselves in deep with a demon.

Books that take place in New England.

All hail our Lorax style mouthpiece Mr. Noah Kahan.

The most comprehensive list of award winning sci-fi and fantasy novels. The books on this list have won either 1 or multiple awards out of the Hugo, Nebula, World Fantasy, Locus Sci-Fi, Locus Fantasy, goodreads Choice Fantasy, or goodreads Science Fiction Awards.

Works where hell is heavily involved in the plot.

Books with at least one excellent friendship that is core to the novel!

(I decided siblings and friends to lovers don’t count, unless the in the latter one the romance part is SO minor to the plot and the friendship is wayyy more significant.)

Characters who go through a metamorphosis... Boddy horror too...

"And now I am changing, becoming something else, a creature of longing, tending only to myself."This list was Inspired by Perfume and Milk. A song by Florence and the machine. ❤️
