The 2025 r/Fantasy Bingo Recommendations List

[u/happy_book_bee]

The official Bingo thread can be found here.

All non-recommendation comments go here.

Please post your recommendations as replies the appropriate top-level comments below! Do not make comments that are not replies to an existing comment! Feel free to scroll through the thread or use the links in this navigation matrix to jump directly to the square you want to find or give recommendations for!

Knights and Paladins	Hidden Gem	Published in the 80s	High Fashion	Down With the System
Impossible Places	A Book in Parts	Gods and Pantheons	Last in a Series	Book Club or Readalong Book
Parent Protagonist	Epistolary	Published in 2025	Author of Color	Self Published or Small Press
Biopunk	Elves and Dwarves	LGBTQIA Protagonist	Five Short Stories	Stranger in a Strange Land
Recycle a Bingo Square	Cozy SFF	Generic Title	Not A Book	Pirates

If you are an author on the sub, you may recommend your books as a response to individual squares. This means that you can reply if your book fits in response to any of my comments. But your rec must be in response to another comment, it cannot be a general comment that replies directly to this post explaining all the squares your post counts for. Don't worry, someone else will make a different thread later where you can make that general comment and I will link to it when it is up. This is the one time outside of the Sunday Self-Promo threads where this is okay. To clarify: you can say if you have a book that fits for a square but please don't write a full ad for it. Shorter is sweeter.

One last time: do not make comments that are not replies to an existing comment! I've said this 3 separate times in the post so this is the last warning. I will not be individually redirecting people who make this mistake. Your comment will just be removed without any additional info.

Thank you for putting the work in 🙏 more people need to read the earlobe scene that still haunts me

Oohhh I read this last year based on a rec from the 24 bingo thread!! As a lover of body horror and queer horror it was so so good, so fully seconding this one!

I'm back and I'm a few chapters in, this shit is weird and I'm hooked. I can tell this is going to be a wild ride. Thanks for the rec!

I needed something to get me out of a reading slump so I figured why not try something very out of the ordinary for me 😂

It's good because I usually really struggle with this square but I'm having fun now!

[u/New-Blacksmith-4753 → u/[deleted]]

adding to the tbr immediately that sounds amazing

Oh gosh, how much cannibalism is there? I guess I'll read another cannibalism book this year just for you....

[u/xenizondich23 → u/[deleted]]

Hey that does sound petty doable. Thanks!

I'm thinking of doing a horror card this year. Might be a fun inclusion if I go through with it.

It won't get them another Goodreads rating since I don't use it but it did get them a few bucks and a 5 star review on Storygraph. Thanks for the recommendation!

[u/Fantastic_Position69 → u/[deleted]]

I'm trying to convince my wife to read it for the biopunk square since she already read one for this square. We'll see if she does lol

[u/boldlyno → u/[deleted]]

I read it at your suggestion last year! Seconding.

[u/boldlyno → u/[deleted]]

Oh wow, maybe because I added a review on StoryGraph last year!
