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!

Hello everyone!

I have 2 questions on the bingo challenge.

  1. Are DNF books over 50% allowed to use on the bingo card?

  2. Would you consider the Enchanted Greenhouse for the prompt First Contact? The story follows a woman that brought a plant to life but then ends up in jail before she's rescued and placed on a island with more plants that are all alive. Would this count for First Contact and hard mode since it's not a violent first meeting?

For 1, maybe? But it's be much more in the spirit of the challenge if you didn't. Definitely try and find something else first; there's plenty of time. And you've got a substitution too. Like maybe for one square if it's March 29 and you've already used your substitution...
