Recs if you like The Last Tale of the Flower Bride...

in progress

Basically, a huge list of every book I ever heard features sapphic characters.

I have not read all of these, so I cannot be sure of the amount of the time on page of the sapphic characters or of the quality of the books.

Some of these I do not plan to read at all, since they are not my style. If you feel like a book doesn't belong here, let me know.

For my favs / read, check out my other lists & shelves.

Open to suggestions for more titles.

Don't shoot the messenger.

books about the beauty and heartbreak of lifelong, ever-evolving female friendships. oh, to have been children together! to have grown up together, or to have grown apart!

In honour of Everybody Scream dropping tomorrow, here are books that are utterly delicious, magical, and sometimes a little bit dark. (Lots of folklore, some horror, and of course feminine rage)

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!

We all love gothic classics, but what is new when it comes to the gothic genre (from the last 20 years or so)?! For fans of Dracula, Jane Eyre, Frankenstein, We Have Always Lived in the Castle, etc. Please comment with suggestions to add!

Perfect for fantasy lovers with not enough hours in the day!

Feel free to mention any I missed in the comments 😊

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

A masterlist of standalone adult fantasy novels (no novellas).

Always looking for recs!

Requirements:

1. The Mc(s) is a tricksters or unreliable narrator who spends most of the book lying to, bluffing or otherwise misleading others or themselves.

2. They would continue lying even if they didn’t have to either they can’t help it or enjoy the game too much.

3. This causes situations that get unpredictable, chaotic or even completely ridiculous as the characters dodge or face consequences for their actions.

Books with neurodivergent MCs across various genres so you can find them in your favorite one.

Neurodivergent rep here includes autism, adhd, ocd or dyslexia. In addition the term neurodivergent also includes anyone who’s neurological processing works in a way that isn’t considered typical; such as various personality disorders, other sensory issues and depending on who you ask also depression, ptsd, and more. I’ve included all here when I find them.

A list of all the books featured as monthly picks for the Fairyloot Adult Sub. ◽️ Not Including sequels or special editions outside of the monthly sub.◽️ I will include new books about a month after release to avoid spoilers.

Books of artful writing and beautiful prose; like a fairytale come to life

while these don't all take place in springtime, they definitely evoke the mood and would make great seasonal reads 🌷

HEAR ME OUT. These books at one point gave me ALL the emotions of a blue shell targeting me while I'm in first place!

Maybe the one piece was the friendships we made along the way.

These are all the suggestions the community graciously provided after I asked for friendship book recs (plus some of my own).

This list include all types of friendship dynamics from wholesome and life-affirming to toxic and obsessive. Enjoy!

Welcome to my cycle list. Books that have propulsive writing, heavy themes, and require lots of focus and attention for the time of the month when everything is perfect.

Feel free to suggest more books!

Stories featuring unreliable narrators that have you debating throughout the book, is this really happening?

Girl you're killin it! Girl I don’t think it’s moving anymore! ♥︎ Books where there is something seriously wrong with her. Like, I'm scared. ♥︎ Maybe she's born with it, maybe she came back wrong ♥︎

The way these books are written made me feel like i was in a sort of fairytale
