After traveling through Dragon’s Pass, I’m now at the Wyrd and Wonder Bite Sized Islands. While here, I get to share with you some fantasy short stories and novellas! Sometimes it’s nice to kick back with a shorter tale. Thanks to participating in the inaugural SFINCS competition, I’ve read quite a few recently! So, in no particular order, here are some novellas to discover while visiting the Wyrd and Wonder Bite Sized Islands.
For Wyrd and Wonder my first post started at Mount TBR. Up next is my journey to Dragon’s Pass. I decided to keep my journey in the mountains for a little while because it’s nice and quiet. Dragons can be quiet when they want to and I intend to keep the peace. There will be no quests on my part save to share with you books I enjoyed that have dragons.
Like April, my May 2024 TBR list continues to focus on my list of ARCs to read. As expected, most of them fall within the fantasy genre and so are perfect to read during Wyrd and Wonder 2024. While this doesn’t change my May 2024 TBR at all, know that this post is also to fulfill the “Mount TBR” prompt prompt. (This year the Wyrd and Wonder prompts are based off of a map rather than held to a more rigid schedule.)
I’m sure I’ll throw in some other random read because that’s what inevitably happens every month. What can I say? I do tend to mood read, which is why I try to be more selective with my ARC requests these days. I’m also trying to make a dent in my physical book backlog. Anyway, here’s my May 2024 TBR list.

Todays’s Wyrd and Wonder prompt is “bite-size fantasies.” While this sounds delightfully fun, it is meant to focus on short story or novella-length fantasy stories. Since last year’s Wyrd and Wonder I have read quite a bit more fantasy books (obviously), some of which were on the shorter side. Here is a list of some bite-size fantasies that might be of interest. I loosely interpreted novellas as 200 pages in under, though I believe technically they are typically shorer than that.

In lieu of participating in Wyrd and Wonder on my blog this week I’ve been reading FOURTH WING by Rebecca Yarros. Or, trying to, at least, in between other things that cropped up this week. Regardless, today’s prompt is mythology, or celebrate a subgenre. If I had planned better, I would have saved my recently-created list of Arthurian retellings for today. But alas. (Please check it out if you missed it!) Instead, my focus is to celebrate Celtic mythology, which is just as fun to read.
Allow me to be frank in that I don’t know much about Celtic mythology. However, I inadvertently many times a year seem to read fantasy books inspired by it. This inspiration usually isn’t evident to me when I read the synopsis. Or perhaps it’s not evident to me because I am not educated in it. (Highly possible.) Nevertheless, I do enjoy them when I read them. So allow me to celebrate Celtic mythology and share it via a list.
