Wonderstruck by Brian Selznick, probably the best book I have ever read. A 600 page half-novel/half-graphic novel. I have read it three times and it never bored me. It follows the story of a deaf girl(Rose), told in pictures, and a deaf boy(Ben), told in words. The stories take place 50 years apart, Rose's in 1927 and Ben's in 1977. The ending is beautiful, I would recommend it to anybody who enjoys historical fiction and long books!

babel by r.f. kuang is a must read, easily her best piece of work.

foster dade explores the cosmos by nash jenkins is also insanely good if anyone’s interested in reading the made up life of a kid go to hell on a boarding school.

the heroids by ovid (i think that’s how you write it english), classic.

if you want to invest your time in norse mythology, might I suggest checking out 'Norse Mythology' by Neil Gaiman? it's a fun read, I think. however, if you have an interest in thriller, check out 'Maria Beetle' which also goes by 'Bullet Train' by Kotaro Isaka. or how about a narrator's point of view type of story, like 'Cat Country' by Lao She?

I remember growing up with Tears Of A Tiger & Nimona. Both are extremely good books for different reasons even if I do have to give warning with the first one for discussing themes of suicide

I will never not recommend Piranesi, by Susanna Clarke. The first chapter is probably one of the most sublime pieces of fiction I have ever read; it's just so immense, vast, liminal, desserted, yes, but beautiful, almost sacred.

The plot is relatively simple and straight forward, and most relevant questions are given clear answers, but there's still enough mistery remaining by the end that you can endlessly dissect and analyze every little detail to your heart's content and come up with interesting and novel views everytime.

It's relatively short (about 270 pages), and the prose, while beautiful, is not too complex, so I recommend it to anyone who enjoys intriguing stories, fantasy, dream-like enviroments, New Weird fiction, or Dreampools enjoyers.

I'd recommend "What moves the dead" by T. Kingfisher, it's a retelling of "The fall of the house of usher", it was a really nice read

It's a classic but I find that not many people have read it even though it's so popular. Try reading Frankenstein - Mary Shelley.

"If cats disappeared from the world," is really good! I cried so much while reading it and it's pretty short too. I definitely recommend it!

Warriors Series by Erin Hunter: Sure you’ve heard about the book about the cats. It’s popular for a reason. First season (series?) is the best. If you like cats, or tribal themes this series will be appealing.

Guardians of Ga’Hoole Series by Kathryn Lasky: Idk why they massacred the movie but the books are much better (and darker). First book literally contains genocide, murder, brainwashing and cannibalism. All from the perspective of owls. The series itself is based off of WW11 to give you a taste of why the movie should not be used to judge the content of the books. Brilliant series cleverly disguised as teen fiction.

The Plague Dogs by Richard Adams: Story about two dogs that escape from a lab and accidentally release the black plauge. Classic tale! Fun read but can get a bit dry as it’s set in England. There is also a classic animated movie about it that is also very good. Be warned though, the book and movie are quit grim, and many morbid things happen. Movie is not gonna be fun for younger audiences.


Those are three I can think of off the top of my head. Really depends on your preference but if you like animals, those are fun ones.

  1. "The Forgotten Beasts of Eld" by Patricia A. McKillip - This beautifully written novel is a must-read for any fantasy fan. It's a tale of magic, love, and the power of forgiveness, all set in a richly imagined world.

  2. "The Sorcerer of the Wildeeps" by Kai Ashante Wilson - This novella is a perfect blend of fantasy and science fiction, featuring gods, magic, and interstellar travel. It's a fast-paced and thrilling read that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

  3. "The Golem and the Jinni" by Helene Wecker - This novel is a unique and imaginative take on the fantasy genre, blending Jewish and Arabic mythology to create a spellbinding story of two magical beings who find themselves in 19th-century New York.

  4. "The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms" by N.K. Jemisin - This novel is the first in a series that explores complex themes like power, identity, and family, all set in a richly imagined fantasy world. It's a thought-provoking and exciting read that is sure to leave you wanting more.

  5. "The Ten Thousand Doors of January" by Alix E. Harrow - This novel is a portal fantasy that features a brave and determined heroine who must fight to keep the doors between worlds open. It's a beautifully written and deeply moving story that will stay with you long after you finish it.

I hope you enjoy these underrated fantasy gems as much as I did! Happy reading!

also is this formatting like good ?? It looks weird on my screen.

The Girl who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill. From the blurb I had the impression it was a funny coming of age in a fantasy setting but it's more like a modern day fairy tale with themes of grief, longing, and hope.

Furthermore this story has a rich cast including disheveled women, bright women, heroic women, evil women, morally grey women, magic women, tragic women, and most importantly, very old women.

There's also no monarchy, if you were tired of that thing.
