2026 r/Fantasy Bingo
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.

What good are shoes?
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.

sent me down a tiktok spiral so I can be more sad
These are for books that I think about for days on end. Iโll always go back and compare it to others. Iโll 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.

Respect the balance โ๏ธ
Fantasy books with engaging plots, fascinating world building, quality characters and complex relationships bc Iโm sick of authors choosing one over the others (ie fourth wing saying fuck a consistent plot, letโs just have them fuck)
The worlds donโt exist to house the characters, the plot isnโt just there to go in between hook ups and actions of the characters match with their traits ๐ฑ
And then also cruel prince bc that shits gonna hit every. Single. Time. โโโ (and some wlw bc yum)
