Romantasy
Romantasy: where villains are somehow hotter than heroes, “one bed” collides with ancient prophecies, and I’m left giggling, feral, and texting my bestie in all caps at 3 a.m.
The Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas is hands-down one of my favorite fantasy series of all time. I actually reread it at least once a year because it’s just that good.
From the very first book, Maas pulls you into a world full of assassins, ...

Powerless
Romance
Books that have me giggling, kicking my feet, and questioning why real men don’t act like this.
I love the Honey Mountain series by Laura Pavlov so much that I read all of them at least once a year. The small-town setting, the cozy friendships, and the slow-burn romances make these books feel like visiting old friends. Each story is heartwarmin...
Always Mine: Small Town Friends-To-Lovers

The section where paranoia is my personality, every clue feels like a lie, and sleep? Never heard of her. Dark, twisty, & unhinged
I picked up Then She Was Gone and it completely pulled me in. Lisa Jewell does such a good job at creating that unsettling feeling where you know something is wrong, but you can’t quite put your finger on it until all the pieces start falling into pl...
Then She Was Gone: A Novel
The whole story is told through Dolores herself, and King does an amazing job making her voice feel completely real and raw. I was hooked from the first page, wanting to know exactly what happened and how she got to this point.
The book is dark and ...
Dolores Claiborne
It’s so much darker and more intense than I expected, with this slow-building tension that never lets up. Following the boys as they walk and try to survive this brutal, dystopian competition had me completely hooked. I can’t wait for the movie!

The magic, the friendships, the adventures,it felt like stepping into another world where anything was possi...

The BFG
This story of Opal and her scruffy dog, Winn-Dixie, completely captured my heart. I loved how funny, sweet, and heartfelt it was—full of quirky characters, small-town charm, and little life lessons that stuck with me. Winn-Dixie wasn’t just a dog; he...

One of the first fantasy books I ever read, and it completely drew me in! I loved getting lost in the world of Alagaësia, following Eragon’s journey from a simple farm boy to a dragon rider. The dragons, magic, and adventure captured my imagination l...
