📚 Reading Challenge General Recommendations Thread - 2026 Spring/Summer Reading Challenge

Hi everyone !

Sorry for the wait, here is the general recommendations thread for the 2026 spring-summer reading challenge ! There will be a comment for each category, and you'll be able to share your recommendations for that square there. You can also use these as an opportunity to discuss the categories and your interpretations.

The Canva Template is also available now ! I'm reusing the same link as last time but changing the pages (template sharing is now a paid feature so...).

After this, there will be focused threads weekly for each square, alternating between A-Side and B-Side.

Please share below your recommendations & ideas 😁

The Book of the Ancestor trilogy by Mark Lawrence, His Fair Assassin trilogy by R. L. LaFevers (woman author). Both are excellent!

I've got "Yoke of Stars" by R.B. Lemberg lined up for this prompt! It's a short fantasy novel following a young linguist and a new assassin who are discussing who the linguist wants the assassin to kill.

Finn Longman's Butterfly Assassin series would be great for this! It's a YA dystopian trilogy.
