 Perhaps you’ve heard the saying “Any portal fantasy in a storm” . . . well, that’s our version of it, anyway. 😉 (Since we do have so many reading options, we like to consider them carefully!)
Weather or not your life is particularly stormy right now, you still might be craving that perfect literary escape. It’s important to many people to get good reading recommendations—which is what we’re here for! No book is perfect, but we think these are ship-shape! So sail on into this list, and we wish you a bookish bon voyage!

 We hope you’re having a cozy, not-too-sweltering summer! Summer and winter are great times (but really, any time is) to read cozy books! What do we mean by “cozy”? In most of these, the stakes are lower and there’s nothing too dramatically epic happening; and the others have a generally optimistic and fairy-tale-like feel. So water we waiting for? Let’s dive into the list of excellent cozy fantasies we recommend!
 Today we’re showcasing some of our favorite works of literary fantasy and sci-fi. Perhaps some people equate “literary” with “slow” . . . but we prefer to call it “deep.” If you are looking for recommendations on deep-diving books, then dive into this list!
 Today we're hot on the trail of some great fantasy quest books. Tolkien about knights, wizards, and dragons really gets us fired up! So let us venture forth—onward to the list!
 Fantasy (and sci-fi) books in general enchant us! But this week, we've compiled a special list of our favorite fantasy books that involve enchantments or curses. So read on, and maybe these books will put a spell on you too!
 And now, for something a bit different! We’ve been thinking about the classics lately (and not just speculative-fiction ones) and how important they still are, especially with literacy’s current state of decline. Classic books are classics for a reason and can teach us a lot, if we slow ourselves down enough to learn from them!
So in the previous blog post and this one, we’re sharing some excellent classics we’ve been meaning to read—not all of them are actually terribly old, although some are. Now, we just need to find more time between the grind and our side hustles. . . .  And now, for something a bit different!

Now, we just need to find more time between the grind and our side hustles. . . .  As you wish! At a fan’s request, we compiled a list of books that you’ll probably enjoy if you love The Princess Bride (we think both book and movie are amazing, btw). So check out the whimsical, charming, and adventurous fantasies below!
 Happy April, and happy April Fools’ Day! Today we bring you a list of fantasy books that we (wink, wink, nudge, nudge) extremely dislike. These books are SO bad, we decided we just had to warn you away from them. So, whatever you do, do NOT read the books in the list below!*
 It’s no mystery we love fantasy. But did you know we also love fantasy mysteries? Sher—lock the door and all the windows, but that might not keep certain creatures out!
