And Folklore-inspired tales and retellings that feel whimsical and lush, dark and inviting, like The Fox Wife by Yangsze Choo, Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse especially in Non-Western settings, Native communities, or Appalachia #Fantasy #MSWL

More fantasy #MSWL : Adventure and magic with a badass female lead like Shannon Chakraborty’s The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi or V.E. Schwab’s Fragile Threads of Power (or anything like V.E. Schwab's books, for that matter)

Fantasy/Speculative: I'm looking for magic & magical beings alongside mortals in charming places or unforgettable time periods, like Katherine Arden’s The Winter of the Witch, or VE Schwab’s The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue (doesn't have to be witches—fae, djinn, gods are all good options) #MSWL

The SFF book I just can't stop thinking/talking about: The Bird King by G. Willow Wilson. She is a masterful storyteller. Anything similar to this type Muslim fantasy is on my #mswl. #FridayReads goodreads.com/blog/show/1652…
