Lit Witches goes abroad! On today's episode, we travel to the UK to speak to two publishers who are at the forefront of the fantasy boom. We chat about how the fantasy genre has grown and changed, and the role social media and BookTok has played in connecting readers with books they'll love. They also reveal their favourite fantasy reads, what books perfectly execute their favourite tropes and the exciting new releases you're going to want on your bookshelf in 2027.


Our book recommendations this week:

Formative fantasy book: Twilight / The Assassin's Apprentice

Perfectly executes your favourite trope: The Cruel Prince / When the Moon Hatched

Can't stop recommending: A Court of Thorns and Roses / Throne of Glass / Dire Bound

Next on the TBR: There is No Antimemetics Division / The Knave and the Moon / One Dark Window


Lit Witches is hosted by Adelaide Jensen, and this episode's guests are Rachel Winterbottom and Lara Stevenson from Wayward TxF.
