Badass FMCs who refuse to take shit from anyone, kick ass, and take names. Sometimes they just need a hug and someone to patch up their wounds while they try to save their loved ones and the world they begrudgingly live in.

Urban fantasy at its best! Witches, warlocks, werewolves, dragons, demons and anything else living hidden among us

A collection of older, lesser-known, fantasy (or science fantasy) books written by incredible women. In a time when female fantasy authors were few and far between, these authors carved out their own space in the genre. These stories might not be mainstream hits today, but they are full of brilliant magic, deep characters, and/or worlds that helped shape the genre. (First in Series / standalones only for now - open to suggestions!)

The fantasy series’s we were gagging for in the early 2000s.

Note: HP, Twilight, Hunger Games, and Divergent go without listing 👍
