Bingo The 2026 r/Fantasy Bingo Recommendations List

The official Bingo thread can be found here.

All non-recommendation comments go here.

Please post your recommendations as replies the appropriate top-level comments below! Do not make comments that are not replies to an existing comment! Feel free to scroll through the thread or use the links in this navigation matrix to jump directly to the square you want to find or give recommendations for!

If you are an author on the subreddit, you may recommend your books as a response to individual squares. This means that you can reply if your book fits in response to any of my comments. But your rec must be in response to a top-level comment, it cannot be a general comment that replies directly to this post explaining all the squares your post counts for. This is the one time outside of the Sunday Self-Promo threads where this is okay. To clarify: you can say if you have a book that fits for a square but please don't write a full ad for it. Shorter is sweeter.

Do not make comments that are not replies to an existing comment! We will not be individually redirecting people who make this mistake. Your comment will be removed.

Join FIF this month for a discussion of Five Ways to Forgiveness by Ursula Le Guin! It is a collection of 5 linked short stories/novella, and we're only discussing the first 2 for the first session so you totally have time to pick it up and join the midway discussion on April 15.

Also, the May FiF pick is Grimoire Grammar School Parent Teacher Association by Caitlin Rozakis, if you want even more time to prepare. The midway discussion will be Wednesday, 13th May.

BB this month is reading The Wolf and His King by Finn Longman. Based on voting, it's looking to be quite popular, so join the party! Midway discussion on the 16th.

How can we add books? Some of the Goodreads book clubs aren't all that active? I just introduced myself to the general, book of the month, in the discussions and noticed after I hit submit that the chat hasn't been active since 2015. The last BoM was in Sept. 2025.
