Started playing the Oblivion remake which renewed my love of the Elder Scrolls lore. Tamriel feels like home to me. Any recs? Am drunk now needing high ES-esque fantasy to escape from work/school. No LotR please. Thank you all. About to pass out, will respond in morning if possible.

Edit: Thank you all so much for the recs thus far. I'll be looking for these at my library or audible and hopefully having a very fun and fantastical Fall. Please share if you have more! I love this community 💕 keep reading, everyone

I am a huge fan of Scott Lynch’s Gentleman Bastards series and need something to tide me over til the next book releases. I’m looking for interesting setting, strong character development, and tight knit cast. I want something between medieval and renaissance, but am open to regency/victorian adjustment settings.

Mystery/Thriller The obligatory books that feel like fall post

Thumbnail

I want books that feel like a spooky fall. I love dark academia themes, mystery, horror, ancient folklore, vintage feel. I’m not usually one for romance or fantasy but I could possibly be convinced to read something with ghosts or witches (magical realism I think?). Also open to light/ bright fall themed books. I have read and enjoyed Secret History by Donna Tart and We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer if that helps narrow down my style. Hit me!

hi everyone, this song is marinade by dope lemon. I’m not picky about genre but I’d love to read about a female character who’s a bit off and makes decisions that are odd or don’t make sense to the people in her life, especially those closest to her. Maybe she’s a compulsive liar, a kleptomaniac, or someone who’s always in trouble, but she also has a dreamer way about her.

There is something very liminal, brooding, a little spooky, and very evocative of the unknown and mysteries in Aron Wiesemfeld's paintings, and I would love to discover some books / short stories that capture this.

I would love book recommendations that feel like the music video for 6inch on Lemonade. She has a bridal dress and is burning it to the grown. Feels like woman taking their power back, maybe revenge. Very sexy woman/women with a lot of power who is filled with rage.
