Recs if you like The Stardust Thief...

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!

no dude bro fantasy books on this list

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!

D&D-esque inspired list. Ive seen a bunch but not exactly what I was looking for, which is essentially, "rag-tag team of misfits with different powers/strengths go on a quest and get into shenanigans" I.e. Legends and Latte wouldn't fit here because they're not questing. Also avoiding lit r.p.g like Dungeon Crawler Carl cause that feels like cheating 😝

Fiction books by Arab authors and/or books starring Arab characters (and as always, Free Palestine)

instead of medieval europe inspired fantasy all of the time.

Open to recs!

(I removed middle east bc I found out that was the colonial term!)

SWANA authors are authors from South West Asia and North Africa. They currently make up <1% of the trad publishing industry. This list is here to introduce you to their stories.

NOTE: if you find an author who doesn’t belong on this list, please comment & I will remove the book(s) ASAP.

As always, lists are forever evolving🥰

Bored of fantasy books that are loosely set in Medieval Europe? Me too. Here are some epic, adventurous, mythological, dark, and spellbinding fantasies set in ancient worlds outside of Europe.

A reading list celebrating books by Arab American authors and the many stories, histories, cultures, and imagined worlds they bring to the page. This list was created as a way to expand my own reading beyond the perspectives and experiences most familiar to me.

I am not Arab American, and I do not intend this list to speak for the Arab American community or define the full range of Arab American literature. I welcome recommendations, corrections, and notes from Arab American readers and authors, especially if there are books that should be added or removed.

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 - please send recs

I will list the first book in the series and the upcoming book. Updates once a month.

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

A list of all the books featured as monthly picks for the Fairyloot YA Sub. ◽️ Not Including sequels or special editions outside of the monthly sub.◽️ I will include new books about a month after release to avoid spoilers.
