Recs if you like Half a Soul...

a collection of autistic coded characters in fiction [ recommendations welcome! ]

Fantasy romance and romantasy with at least one MMC who doesn't fit the Shadow Daddy archetype in one way or another.

I'm talking genuinely kind and caring heroes, nerdy or academic interests, or a body type that isn't tall and jacked. (No climbing these men like trees here!) Only men who are sad wet cats, sweet cinnamon rolls, or pathetic losers allowed 💖

Inspired by buttercheese69's forum post on the topic.

Books that inspired or are similar to Studio Ghibli films

a list of fantasy book recs free of problematic authors so you can discover without any stress of promoting them!

Books that include faeries, whether whimsical or scary

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

fantasy novels where curses play a role, whether it be a cursed person, object, or place! recs always welcome!

this is for aesthetics only

These books contain little to no spice🩷 Double checked by me, fellow reviewers, & romance.io, but if there's still a mistake, please do correct! Only 1 book per author

whether it's straight-up Jane Austen retellings, set in an alternative regency-era England, or a whole new world that has those prim and proper vibes, these books all introduce magic, spells, and perhaps even a bit of whimsy into the familiar regency setting (may also contain Victorian or Gregorian-era like fantasy novels, since they can have a lot of overlap in vibes!)

books that feel like watching a studio ghibli film 🌱 ₊˚✧ ﾟ.

flying houses, nerdy werewolves, and magical baking shows, oh my!

Perfect for fantasy lovers with not enough hours in the day!

Feel free to mention any I missed in the comments 😊

books for the barbie movie lovers

I asked a while ago for easy/comfy reads when I have a migraine, and @KittenInACave encouraged me to make it into a list as opposed to my own shelf. recs welcome!

Want to get into fantasy but never read/only read a bit and don't want to read anything too complex? These books and series have light worldbuilding, magic systems, and are overall good introductions to those new to fantasy. The majority of these are more YA due to the nature of entry-level fantasy

A collection of books that are or feel like historical romance and from a time long past, with elements of magic, whimsy and fantasy!

(open to suggestions!)

Cozy fantasy with magic, witches, faeries, and warm, whimsical vibes. Always open to more recs ❤
