Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

Books that include faeries, whether whimsical or scary

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

Speculative (sci-fi, fantasy, horror etc.) novellas less than 200 pages long that are either standalone or read like a standalone story

Fantasy where plants, herbs, forests and green places aren’t just set dressing: they drive character choices, magic systems and plot. Expect hedgewitches and apothecaries, sentient woods and green men, tea alchemists, orchard bargains and kitchen gardens that meddle in human affairs. The tone ranges from cozy cottagecore to gently thorny fairytales sprinkled in. If you crave stories that smell like rain on soil and sound like wind in leaves, start here!

Any book with an mc over 30, whose character arch involves themes common in coming of age stories like, questioning their upbringing or experiencing some aspect of the world/ relationships/ common experience for the first time or learning who they truly are/ what’s important to them/ being themselves authentically for the first time ect.

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

Stories to read curled up warm and cosy while the weather is grey and stormy, blustery and bleak. Or. just when you want a fantasy that’s both dark and cozy!

Books in this list are in at least two quests. Thus helping to earn more badges. Books will span different genres. Once I scan through all the quests, I plan to further organize the list. I am thinking of creating a seperate list and moving the books with three or more quests to the new list and keeping the two badge books in this list. Are there other ways you would organize a list this big?

At the request of @moss-mylk 😊🫶 I will keep updating this list, and as always, recs are welcome.

Short books that you can read in a sitting, to help you achieve your yearly reading goal 🤭🥳 Feel free to mention anything else from the list, I'm so glad to add & check them out 😁
