Recs if you like Swordheart...

When the narrator(s) makes the book even better. For new listeners and audiobook elites, here is a range of different genres and narrators that excel at audio perfection.

books featuring older women protagonists, age 30 and up, in sci-fi and fantasy. for books containing multiple povs/protagonists, older fmcs should hold equal weight and presence in the story as other mcs. ideally, aiming for more women centred additions, but open to all suggestions and feedback!

Fantasy romance and romantasy with at least one MMC who doesn't fit the Shadow Daddy archetype in one way or another.

I'm talking genuinely kind and caring heroes, nerdy or academic interests, or a body type that isn't tall and jacked. (No climbing these men like trees here!) Only men who are sad wet cats, sweet cinnamon rolls, or pathetic losers allowed 💖

Inspired by buttercheese69's forum post on the topic.

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

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!

This is a brochure from my library, fully their creation and I wanted to share what they made. Lots of the same books as the medieval quests we have but hopefully something new for you too!

Because hot people summer in the past 💅

Any book with an mc over 30, whose character arch involves themes common in coming of age stories like, questioning their upbringing or experiencing some aspect of the world/ relationships/ common experience for the first time or learning who they truly are/ what’s important to them/ being themselves authentically for the first time ect.

A list of well-rated sci-fi and fantasy books featuring a woman who's 30 or older as the main character. I'm open to recommendations - I'd love this list to be long

T. Kingfisher's multi-series epic fantasy set in the world of the White Rat. Posted here in publication order and will be updated as new books are released.

Start at the bottom of the list and work your way up!

I asked a while ago for easy/comfy reads when I have a migraine, and @KittenInACave encouraged me to make it into a list as opposed to my own shelf. recs welcome!

just got a new knight! i sure hope his unwavering loyalty, mindless devotion, and tendency to kneel before me to kiss the palm of my hand before he commits atrocities in my name doesn't awaken anything in me

(recommendations for other knight books welcome in the comments, and note that i haven't personally read all the ones included here!)

Books for people that crave romances but hate the mainstream romantasy trends, main characteristics required to fit this list: M/F pairings are completely fine, but they don't fit into a cisheteronormativy worldview (mostly, men and women aren't different species in these books) No weird and creepy possessiveness Characters that look like normal humans and not only thinstagram models They can find each other hot immediately but the romance has to be developed.

Cozy fantasy with magic, witches, faeries, and warm, whimsical vibes. Always open to more recs ❤

You want a fantasy book without too much stress and a guaranteed happy ending? Maybe magic and a muffin? Or talking creatures drinking tea? Sentient houseplants who are occasionally bossy? I gotcha. 😉

Books where someone has their whole entire tongue completely cut out 😣

Yes I know “whole entire … completely” is redundant but like,,, THEIR WHOLE ENTIRE TONGUE WAS COMPLETELY CUT OUT—

For the majority of these books, it’s not actually a significant plot point to the main character(s), but in general, the tongue removal symbolizes something important about the story or setting.

Get on the hype train for these upcoming releases of books in a series. Now is the perfect time to jump on board a new series or start a re-read.

Covers the next 12 months. Updates once a month - please send recs

Change to list view and sort by author for easier browsing.

I will list the first book in the series and the upcoming book. I'm not including series from romances where it's hard to tell if the books are standalone or not (for my health🙃).

(I'm already questioning my sanity on how I'm going to maintain this, I wish we could make collaborative lists on here 😭)

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?
