Fantasy Romance and Romantasy are two different genres, but I enjoy them all the same. This list is full of books from both genres, ranging from YA to extra spicy. Recommendations always welcome!

High stakes, stressful fantasy books that will have you pulling at your hair and biting your nails most of the time. In summary: opposite of cozy fantasy. Open for recs! Disclaimer: I haven't read some of these books, so do let me know if a book is unfit for this list!

Told from the pov of characters whose outlook on the situation doesn't always reflect reality. Largely skewed by their perception of themselves, these narrators can be misleading, under-representative of the situation at hand (and their role in it), and often brimming with personality! Suggestions are always welcome!

Books that heavily involve houses, architecture, or doors. No distinction between genre, only link ia the feature of architecture or homes

Queerness + Water

Queer stories that have scenes with water, water as a theme, etc.

The intimacy of nude swimming, water encasing the body, the way a river flows and connects to other bodies of water, the life that lives in its depths, the fact we have not descovered much of the ocean which holds secrets we cannot reach…water is a queer thing, and a theme found continually in queer stories both minutely and wholly encompassing

Adult-audience fiction mostly, some mature YA

Recs welcome!

I'm in such a paranormal/supernatural mood rn and ik others might be so I've dropped books I've read and enjoyed. Examples = demons, vampires, witches, fae etc. Open to suggestions Warning: my taste is questionable and mixed

Steampunk is a genre typically set in the Victorian era, sometimes Edwardian area with elements of science fiction or fantasy. The key aspect of steampunk is the use of steam for innovations.

Sometimes the steampunk setting plays major roles in the story and plot, sometimes it is just the background setting.

This list is a work in progress of collecting steampunk novels
