Recs if you like Rosemary and Rue...

fantasy murder mysteries yayy

books featuring older women protagonists, age 30 and up, in sci-fi and fantasy. for books containing multiple povs/protagonists, older fmcs should hold equal weight and presence in the story as other mcs. ideally, aiming for more women centred additions, but open to all suggestions and feedback!

Books that include faeries, whether whimsical or scary

Let me know if you have any recommendations to add to this list!

Urban worlds with some ethically sourced chaos. A collection of indie urban fantasy books full of magic and the paranormal.

(technically motherhood in speculative fiction unless i make a separate list for sci-fi!)

requesting recommendations!

stories where the voices & experiences of mothers are at the center

I like my wizards in leather, my shifters in the streets(and sheets), and my skylines full of magic.

Books that feel like a CW show that takes place in the 2000-2010s.

This is the novels, novellas, novelettes (if they exists on Pagebound), first book of the series and one book from the best author that are nominated for a Hugo Award in 2026. I personally need an overview on what to catch on for the votes (closing beginning of August :))

These series openers feature ensemble casts and secondary plot arcs that stretch over multiple books. Multiple genres and eras of fiction are represented, and most series are complete while others are ongoing.

it's 2009. you're in a borders. chris mcgrath has a (rightful) stranglehold on the covers of half the mass markets. you're looking for some magic, maybe some mystery, maybe some romance. let's see what's what.

put that woman inside a blender. or books about women suffering through one plot horror to another with little to no wins. (recs are welcome!)

recommendations for a fall tbr

For all you bounders out there who have a tough time finding books that don't belong in the "mystery" genre because they're heavy on fantasy tropes, but also don't belong solely in the "fantasy" genre because there is a mystery at the heart of the plot driving the story. Would LOVE recs to add to this list! :)

An ultimate list of zany, quirky, Urban Paranormal/Sci-Fi/LitRpg/Dystopian and even a little side of Romance/Romantasy that reminds you how much more fun it is to stay home reading on a Saturday night!

The simple title format that has stood the test of time.
