A list compiled of books that would work for this year's r/Fantasy bingo! Hopefully I ordered the list correctly to line up with the board. Trying my best to meet hardmode, but might not be the case for every one.

Books featuring characters who dislike wearing shoes. I'd like to keep this focused on characters who actually prefer walking barefoot instead of doing it for lack of access to suitable footwear, magic reasons, or because shoes are simply not widespread in their culture, but of course, these things might overlap. Suggestions to add/remove books are welcome, especially if you can provide a quote! I only had the source for one of these on hand and everything else comes from memory.

Books that have actual numbers numbers in the title (7 instead of seven)

Open to recs 🙌🏼

Independent authors with fantastic books!

For books that feel like a warm hug and make you kick your feet.

First book of each fantasy series!

books i think stephanie brown // aka spoiler from dc comics // would read while stitching up her suit after patrol.

books i think cassandra cain // aka batgirl from dc comics // would read on the roof of wayne manor during a gala.

For when I'm ready to dip my toe in to the fantasy genre, I'll know where to start! (yes, I'm including the hunger games idc)

Are you a train person? Here are some books where trains are present in more than just a passing scene.

These are for books that I think about for days on end. I’ll always go back and compare it to others. I’ll always feel and empathize for, not just the main character, but for all in the book. Books that genuinely made me sob during/after the book.

If you wanna cry, scream and throw up. You’re in the right place.

I’m a mood reader so my reading taste is all over the place.

Fantasy books with engaging plots, fascinating world building, quality characters and complex relationships bc I’m sick of authors choosing one over the others (ie fourth wing saying fuck a consistent plot, let’s just have them fuck)

The worlds don’t exist to house the characters, the plot isn’t just there to go in between hook ups and actions of the characters match with their traits 😱

And then also cruel prince bc that shits gonna hit every. Single. Time. ✊✊✊ (and some wlw bc yum)

just a little list of haunted books that are doing something fun or a bit different than a traditional ghost story

Working list of all the physical TBR books I own.

A book list I've created in memory of my boyfriend. He LOVED fantasy and magic in books. Sucks that he couldn't find that magic for himself. RIP Bryan. I love you always

These short story anthology collections are sci-fi fantasy focused. Some stories in the collection may take a darker edge and lean grimdark or horror.

Feel free to add recommendations!

3…2…1…. blastoff on a short novella sized sci-fi adventure. Perfect for a palette cleanser or when you are in the mood for a quick read that is out of this world.

Recommendations welcome!

My attempt at a french lit starter pack. Might move stuff around as I go, as I plan on making this a series, taking the side quests starter packs as inspiration. I think they should all have been translated to english but I haven't imported the english versions yet
