Recs if you like The Children of Gods and Fighting Men ...

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!

Books featuring mythology, legends and folklore from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. (For the purpose of this list 'Ireland' encompasses the entirety of Ireland (Northern & Republic) as the historical mythos is largely the same since the split happened in the 1900's.)

If we are going to do Qwordy's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do 3.0 - we should probably get some Pagebound badges along the way! I'm specifically going to be adding books from Quests and readalongs that go past the July start date and match at least one of these title prompts: Periodic Table, Familial Terms, Rainbow of Words (also Joseph's coat), Numerical Titles, Titular Counting 5+, Pun in the Title, and First & Last Name in the Title. Recommendations welcome!

books that blend the magic of fantasy with real world history. only criteria is that books are set within actual historical time periods and not inspired-by settings.

f*ck misogyny, women write epic fantasy too

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?

less of the usual culprits if you please!

when one thing isn't enough

"By the breath of Set, what sorcery is this?! These scribes of the far north and the distant west have imagined worlds that almost - almost - match the splendor of my own court. They speak of dragons? I have hunted lions in the heat of the Retjenu! They speak of rings of power? I wear the crown of the Two Lands, which binds the world from the Delta to the cataracts of Kush! ​Still... there is a certain charm to these 'high fantasies' that I can not deny."

Fiction and nonfiction books about or inspired by medieval Europe.

books that are either based on irish mythology, based in ireland and/or written by irish authors
