Recs if you like Pan's Labyrinth: The Labyrinth of the Faun...

This list is for stories about stories, including the more obvious "books-about-books", but also books about who gets to tell stories, what versions of stories become "truth", and other story-based themes. *While not intended to be strictly fantasy, this list does lean heavily into this genre due to my personal reading tastes. **Suggestions welcome!

🎶 Come, little children, I take thee away / into the land of enchantment 🎶 that nostalgic feeling when you were a child and you could see glimpses of a new fantastical world of magic and wonders basically a collection of stories where children and teens discover a new world with hidden dark undertones which also includes BIPOC/LGBTQ+ representation

Amazing books that standalone! This list is made up of books that don’t have sequels, aren’t part of series, just single books that can be read and enjoyed in one go! I’m open to any suggestions about books from any genre!

Fantasy inspired by Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Albania, Serbia, Malta, Slovenia, and/or Croatia (myths, setting, etc.)

corrections & recommendations welcome <3

Standalone books worth a read or repeat!

recommendations of fantasy, magical realism, speculative fiction... or just stories shaped by the perception of characters, giving reality an odd touch. which one is it?
