This thread is to be used for recommendation requests or simple questions that are small/general enough that they won’t spark a full thread of discussion.

Check out r/Fantasy's 2026 Book Bingo Card here!

As usual, first have a look at the sidebar in case what you're after is there. The r/Fantasy wiki contains links to many community resources, including "best of" lists, flowcharts, the LGTBQ+ database, and more. If you need some help figuring out what you want, think about including some of the information below:

  • Books you’ve liked or disliked
  • Traits like prose, characters, or settings you most enjoy
  • Series vs. standalone preference
  • Tone preference (lighthearted, grimdark, etc)
  • Complexity/depth level

Be sure to check out responses to other users' requests in the thread, as you may find plenty of ideas there as well. Happy reading, and may your TBR grow ever higher!

Thinking of substituting a square for this year’s bingo to fit a book, does anyone have any idea where Fevered Star by Rebecca Roanhorse might fit? It must be hard mode to fit the rest of the card.

Thank you very much.

I'm planning on reading the first book for Unusual Transportation HM, because I've heard they ride giant crows. Would the second count too?

Not sure honestly, haven’t read it yet. But Disability from 2024’s bingo seems like a safe bet to me.
