 Danielle The Book Huntress Thanks. I appreciate anyone adding to the list. I'm crazy about Faery stories.


message 5: by Kajsa (new)

Kajsa I added a few.

No kidding! There are so many books on here that I want to read, it's ridiculous.


message 9: by [deleted user] (new)

How about a list for angels? Is there one?


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads I don't know, Alice. If not, you could start one.

You could try looking up "angel" in the search engine for Listopia.

I checked and there are two but they are YA fantasy. I am thinking real angel encounters so I started one and put my favorite angel book at the top - Meetings with Angels by Dr. H. C. Moolenburgh. I often think of angels and fairies being similar. I have a video about them and the fairies of plants are called divas.

message 16: by [deleted user] (new)

Based on an old Scottish ballad about a young knight who becomes the lover of the Queen of Elfland, The Ballad of Young Tam Lin https://www.createspace.com/3661637 (or a Kindle) has as many fairies and elementals as you could wish, along with a touching human romance. Not recommended for those who don't know (or imagine) what true love is.


message 17: by Shanna (new)

Shanna Why does it seem all fairy stories are about evil fairies? How boring. Any specifically not about that?


message 18: by Sofimannet (new)

Sofimannet gross horror n/a?

Shanna Sofimannet wrote: "gross horror n/a?"

I think anything dealing with fairies would work, it doesn't specify.


message 20: by [deleted user] (new)

Mortal Instruments isn't about faery O_o

Shanna Thanks. :)

Samantha I haven't read Wondrous Strange yet, but doesn't it sound a lot like Wicked Lovely? And the authors both have alliteration names... wierd.... Not so much the plots but the titles. Wicked Lovely just sounds better haha


message 24: by Gabby (new)

Gabby Thank you so much! This list is really helpful!

I like Seanan Mcguire's series "Rosemary and Rue" which is book one.


message 26: by Therealbadkitty (new)

Therealbadkitty The Need series by Carrie Jones is really about pixies but i guess it's subjective if you consider them faeries or not


message 27: by Therealbadkitty (new)

Well faeries appear in the books, even though the main focus of the series isn't faeries.


message 28: by [deleted user] (new)

Im looking for a book about faeries but I forgot the title and the author. its about two siblings, brother and sister who move to a farm in the countryside(UK i think) and find faeries on their land... I know that's a vague description but I cant really remember the story and wanted to read it again. it is a 'young reader' book.

Tsaki, could it be Fablehaven by Brandon Mull?

yea I think so. thanks, I'm gonna try reading it to be sure.


message 31: by Therealbadkitty (new)

Therealbadkitty Divergent,Insurgent,Wintergirls,Peeps,Wake and Unwind do not have any faeries in the stories.

If you are still checking this topic, I was surprised not to see the books below on the list- they are really good and all about the fae- I will add them, but since they are new they will be at the bottom of the list. Good hunting!
Hot Lead, Cold Iron
The Sweet Scent of Blood
Sixty-One Nails
The Thinking Woman's Guide to Real Magic
The Hum and the Shiver
This Case Is Gonna Kill Me
War for the Oaks
Summer Knight


message 33: by Jason (new)

Jason Of the top dozen, I only really like Shakespeare and Fever.

It's a subject that really should inspire greatness, but oh well.


 Danielle The Book Huntress I appreciate any books you can add!


message 35: by Khawlah (new)

Khawlah If anyone can help me I will be incredibly grateful. There was I book I started reading back in 2010 that was published by HarperTeen. I don't remember the name of the book or the cover or the author (Hopeless I know) but I remember it had a fairy plot and the main character was a boy, dark skinned, British. In the beginning of the book he takes a train from the city (London I think) to the country side to visit someone, it might have been his grandfather but I can't remember. he arrives there and notices strange events that lead up to fairies.

I hope someone can help despite my incredibly hopeless description.


Susanna - Censored by GoodReads Have you tried the group "What's the name of this book?"


message 37: by Angie (new)

Angie I don't know that book, but there is a really great site, Stump the Bookseller through Loganberry Books, the site is specifically for this: to look for books by description, without always knowing the title or author. Give them a try: http://www.loganberrybooks.com/stumpt...


message 38: by Kimberly (new)

Kimberly This is a great list. I am looking for a series I read a couple years ago and can not remember the name of. Does this story line sound familiar to any one?
Young woman lives on the top floor of a house with two best friends, one is a male fae and girlfriend who is a lawyer. She has a cat, can go into the fae releam via a bar downtown. She falls for a fae and learns that she is the desendant of a powerful house. I think that is about it but I can't remember exactly everything. Thanks for any help!
Happy faery reading!!
