Summer is the perfect season for escapism, wouldn’t you agree? Something about sunny days, warm weather and lounging around in a big floppy hat is just begging for a trip into a whimsical world. And what better way to go about this than with a great fantasy read?

Like many readers out there, we love a fantastical romp into the unknown. This month we’re tackling this mammoth genre with enthusiasm. As self-professed enthusiasts, we’re always searching for the next great fantastical foray to add to our overstuffed bookshelves. Luckily for us-and all of you-there’s no shortage of great fantasy books out there to choose from.

We’re keeping it magical all month long on the website and over on the Fully Booked podcast, where we’re chatting about fantasy subgenres, adaptations and everything in between. We’ll be bringing you the fantasy suggestions; choosing your next read though, that’s up to you.
