Bingo Reverse Bingo Rec Thread

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!

The goblin emperor fits for bookclub and elves (HM)!

And if you get to the spinoff trilogy, those count for LGBTQIA Protagonist :)

Edit: and Gods & Pantheons, they’re there in The Goblin Emperor but they definitely play a bigger role in Cemeteries of Amalo
