Recs if you like Snake-eater...

A compilation of all the books published by Ursula Vernon under the pen name T. Kingfisher. Will be updated as new works are announced!

Short-ish (& sometimes spicy) standalone speculative stories.

I can't be the only one who want to remember all the books without jumping around in a video, right?

Books that highlight hope, empathy, and justice. I will take suggestions if anyone has any!

For those of us wanting to read T. Kingfisher's backlist but don't do scary. A comprehensive list of her fantasy novels, novellas and short story collections, both indie and traditionally published.

Now with added Ursula Vernon, because why stop at just the one pen name?

Summer reading I will be doing on a picnic blanket with fresh strawberries and a fun drink. Genre unspecified 💕 ((Any recommendations for summer-set or summer-vibes books are welcome!))

You won’t find any goodies in these pages. Books with the word Eater in the title.

Books featuring our favorite four-legged companions

Books with priests and other related clergy members! I'm trying to spotlight characters where their belief is explored in interesting ways (sexuality, culture, complicated relationships with faith). If you've got suggestions (especially for queer characters) I'd love to hear them!

Science fiction, fantasy and horror books with monstrous creatures both fantastical and real

I haven't read all of these myself yet, but the ones I haven't come recommended as cozy horror by Book Riot, and I trust them!

Only one rule: there is a snake on the cover. It doesn’t have to be a specific genre, it doesn’t have to be a specific age group, it doesn’t even need to be a good book.

Bonus points if it’s the original book snake!

Per the Mythopoeic Society, Mythopoeic literature is work "that creates a new and transformative mythology, or incorporates and transforms existing mythological material. Transformation is the key — mere static reference to mythological elements, invented or pre-existing, is not enough. The mythological elements must be of sufficient importance in the work to influence the spiritual, moral, and/or creative lives of the characters, and must reflect and support the author's underlying themes. This type of work, at its best, should also inspire the reader to examine the importance of mythology in his or her own spiritual, moral, and creative development." It is creative work that exemplifies "the spirit of the Inklings", a writers circle consisting of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, and Charles Williams.

For the Fae and Flame Society book club, often our seasonal book bingo includes a square for 'a book set in a small town.' Here is a list of books set in small towns across a variety of genres to push us outside of our normal romantasy.

The major works of T. Kingfisher for the completionist.

Cozy fiction reads perfect for curling up on the couch with a fuzzy blanket & a warm cup of tea. All fiction genres, not just fantasy.
