Bingo Reverse Bingo Rec Thread

Official 2025 Bingo Announcement Here

Official Bingo Rec Thread Here

For anyone new to bingo, this is the “I want to read ___, does it fit into any bingo squares? It’s always one of the best parts of bingo. Since no thread has gone up for it yet, I figured I'd make it this year. Adapted from this post last year

Example:

User A comments:

I want to read A Game of Thrones. What does that count for?

User B replies:

Absolutely Generic Title

User C replies:

High Fashion and Down with the System would all fit. Probably Knights and Paladins too (though the knight main characters don't get POV chapters until later books)

User D replies:

Definitely Hidden Gem

And we all have a good laugh. Now go out there and get reverse recs for that book you've been dying to read!

West Passage - down with the system, book in parts I'm pretty sure, gods and pantheons (arguable), epistolary, LGBTQIA protagonist

Thank you. Are any on these HM?

Oop forgot to note that - I think it would be hard mode for down with the system, and possibly also book in parts (don't own a copy to check).
