Rec #35

Epic high fantasy with several super homoerotic relationships and also tender male friendship and men who aren’t afraid to show emotions and be vulnerable. It’s even got an implied poly relationship! It’s got enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, and found family dynamics too! If you liked the epic fantasy aspect of game of thrones but want something more hopeful this book is perfect

Rec #36

do you like tournament arcs? do you like settings where science fiction coexists with the supernatural? in this, just about every major character gets to be the protagonist for an arc. it's got wacky superpowers! it's got body horror! its protagonists range from "guy who really likes pizza" to "mad science woman on a quest for revenge and power at all costs." also, one of the protagonists is implied to be disabled.

Rec #38

Do you like dragons? Vampires? Gods? Do you like stories of betrayal, romance, magic, and tragedy? How about gay elves and female characters who put gods to sleep?  Do you like epic rap battles and wars over jewels? Have you ever wanted to read about someone ripping out a werewolf's throat with their teeth while naked? Queers, neurodivergent people, strong female characters, and furries alike? Characters overcoming their trauma? Characters committing war crimes? Do you like mythological retellings? Then do I have a book for you!

Do you want a story about two queer-coded soulmates going on an adventure together to solve a mystery? Do you like found family dynamics? Grumpy tsundere x sunshine pairing? Domestic fluff? What about overcoming trauma and moving on from grief? Not to mention, in fantasy ancient China! Then this is the show for you! Cute sibling dynamics, found family, and queer-coding galore! Plus both of the protagonists are neurodivergent!

guess for 35: LOTR

Guess noted!

[guessthatrec-poll]

I'm going to guess #35 is Lord of the Rings because Game of Thrones is often compared to it as "Lord of the Rings but sad and we care about Aragorn's tax policies".

Having just read both of them recently, I feel like 35 has to be LotR, and 38 is probably the Silmarillion.
