    I’m in a bit of a reading slump. Looking for basically what my title says. I’d prefer if the magical world is more whimsical as opposed to “sword and armor” type vibes.

    Books I’ve already read that kind of fit this genre.

    Strange the Dreamer,
    Harry Potter,
    Narnia,
    Lord of the Rings,
    A Court of Thorns and Roses,
    The Starless Sea,
    Night Circus,
    Caraval

      if you don’t mind middle grade, [**The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a Ship of Her Own Making** by Catherynne M. Valente](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9591398) should scratch this itch for you.

      i first read this in my 30s and absolutely fell in love with it. it is **far** superior to HP in my opinion. it’s just incredible.

      you should be able to read a free sample of it on libby. i was hooked pretty much immediately. i truly cannot believe that this hasn’t been adapted into a film.
