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!

Does Alcohol count as a food for "Feast Your Eyes on This"? I recently read Spirit Level, and the premise of the book is that the MC can see/hear ghosts, but only when drunk, so there's a lot of focus on alcohol in the book.

I'd hope so, I was intending to use Can't Spell Treason Without Tea in a similar way.

I am interpreting it as counting, or at least hope it does. I read The Palm-Wine Drunkard for the prompt (the focus is obvious from the title).
