Recs if you like Heretical Fishing (Heretical Fishing #1)...

books that feature an animal (real & fantastical alike) as a side character, companion, or a pet!

I love it when titles break the naming conventions of books. I’ve had enough a blank of blank and blank, I want something NEW, something STRANGE, something that immediately makes me check out the synopsis with the excitement of a dog who has seen a squirrel 🐿️

For lovers of Litrpg

A book list celebrating novels with bold flat illustrated covers. I'm talking colourful, graphic, design-forward books that look beautiful on your shelf and would inspire any designer. All genres welcome but let's stick with YA to adult books.

Books that I think have beautiful front covers. Open for recommendations!

Books with druids as main characters or major plot points.

First books in series only. This could exclude series where druids appear in later books.

Note: may contain nature magic, herbalists, shamans and nature themed witches based on vibes

A Reading List for the Chronically Unserious

Is the main character a magical chef, a warrior cook or techno gourmet? Then they belong on this list. Bonus points if they have recipes included!

Only first books of series.

Not sure if I should include sff books with good food descriptions too. Comment to let me know what you think or with suggestions.

Fantasy books where cooking and food are significant to the plot 👩🏻‍🍳

Books. I found these on Royal Road first, and maybe you did too. Please comment if you have any recs you'd like to share 👍🏾 (any genre, not just LitRPGs 😅)

Books and series with game-like mechanics, low stakes and maybe even a little bit of romance

Cozy ‘the D&D party’s journey between the adventures’, Retired Adventurers, Western Isekai?, and Contemporary Nerd Romance Recs involving Online RPG, TTG, and Girls in STEM.

LitRPGs and progression fantasies beyond just DCC, covering traditional, xianxia, isekai, and everything in between. Great for readers who are either dipping their toes into the genre or those who are looking for something new. Find something that brings all your apocalyptic fantasies to life. Note: will only include the first book in series, as many series are extremely long.
