fantasy books i want to read in 2026 📚🐉✨

my fantasy tbr is so out of control but we’re gonna pretend it’s manageable 😂

what books are on your 2026 fantasy tbr?

#fantasybookrecommendation #fypシ゚viral #booktok #fantasybooks #tbr

3/8 Edited to

If you're anything like me, your fantasy TBR (to-be-read) list tends to grow faster than you can actually read! It’s thrilling yet a little overwhelming to look at so many incredible titles coming out or waiting to be read in 2026. Some standout books on my list include "The Priory of the Orange Tree," a New York Times bestseller known for its vivid world-building and dragons, and "The Fallen," part of the Crowns of Nyaxia series by popular author C.S. Broadbent. Both promise intricate fantasy lore and strong character arcs. Also on my radar is the "Heavenly Bodies" series, which mixes celestial themes with gripping storytelling, making it a fresh take in fantasy realms. For fans of myth and magic, "When the Moon Hatched" by Sarah A. Parker delivers a unique debut full of atmosphere and clever world-building, blending romance and magic in an unforgettable way. From enchanted prisons featured in Raven Kennedy’s "The Plated Prisoner" series to the powerful themes explored in Leia Stone’s "Fallen Academy" series, 2026 looks packed with amazing stories that cater to all fantasy tastes. These books are not only popular for their gripping plots but also for seamlessly blending magic, conflict, and emotional depth. What I love most about following fantasy book recommendations—and why my TBR gets ‘out of control’—is finding stories that expand my imagination and connect me with communities of other book lovers, like the vibrant hashtag conversations around #fantasybookrecommendation and #booktok. These hashtags make it easy to discover new favorites and share in the joy of fantasy storytelling. If you're preparing your 2026 fantasy TBR, consider mixing popular bestsellers with hidden gems mentioned here. This way, you can enjoy a variety of voices and worlds, from epic battles and political intrigue to magical creatures and romantic tension. Happy reading!

fantasy books I want to read 🧚🏻🪄

my two biggest blind spots as far as genres go have always been YA and fantasy. Though I don’t naturally gravitate towards them i still like to keep an open mind and add them to my TBR when I come across them. This year I’m making more of a concerted effort to find books I like within these genres.
