Recs if you like When Among Crows...

Urgently seeking suggestions, any and all input is welcome! A list for men in sci-fi/fantasy who are pathetic, reminiscent of kicked dogs, described as poor little meow meows, drowning in their own emptiness, and/or generally have an intense aura of being a sad loser with no life. Having a capacity to be fixed is entirely optional. If you want to demonstrate why a man is a loser, feel free to do so at great length in the comments so that we all may further our studies in male patheticology.

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!

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.

Fantasy inspired by Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia, Albania, Serbia, Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine, and/or Russia (myths, setting, etc.) Will also be including Slavic inspired fantasy books here as well.

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

This list is perfect for a quick magical escape. 😊

Duologies. Duologies! A list full of duologies. This has a collection of titles I'm interested in and some recommended to me. To save you the trouble, I made sure to put both books in a duology in this list. Enjoy! 💐

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 😁

Eclectic choices of stories to forget life sucks.

Book about or by authors from Slavic countries that aren't Russia!

One sitting. Thirty strange stories. Zero wasted pages.

titles of all genres referencing crows; recs welcome!

A list of books that have LGBTQ+ characters and at around 200 pages or less can in theory be read in a single day - Id love recommendations as well

Fantasy novellas and short stories that pack the punch of a 1000-page epic

Call me a monster? Have it your way 🤷‍♀️ Queer characters who become something wild, feral, misunderstood--and maybe also a literal creature.

Suggestions welcome!

i hope to make a book list gathering all of the polish folklore inspired fantasy, as poland has very interesting legends too!!! currently heavily influenced by When Among Crows let me know if you have anything to add here, i will gladly extend this list! 💚

I need more slavic folklore in my life and maybe u too 🙌✨️

Feel free to recommend books for this list 🙂‍↕️

Short fantasy and sci-fi books under 200 pages. Novellas and bite-sized adventures for those looking for something fast. (Absolutely not because I'm trying to squeeze some short books in before the end of the year.)

one of my favorite themes across genres - you have to believe in the worst of humanity in order to also believe in it's best

SFF where religion is a major part of the character work, world building, and/or a main driver of the plot.
