My Current Reads
I am a mood reader so it involves multiple books at once if you know what I mean.
The sequel to Fourth Wing which I enjoyed enough to continue with book 2. It is an enjoyable read and it is starting to make sense. Good to escape reality!
Iron Flame (Standard Edition) (The Empyrean, 2)
Heard a lot of good things about this book. And it is a cozy fantasy. A normal widowed lady that finds the spirit of a knight in a magical sword. The banter is easy and funny. A kind slow cozy fantasy kind of read :)
Swordheart
I told you it was one of my favorite reads…I am currently re-reading it for comfort. A thief thrown into a magical work as a traitor princess with magic powers. Just imagine that ;)
A Fate of Wrath & Flame (Fate & Flame Book 1)
Currently reading it and it is immersive. Love the writing. And I think a good little prelude to Halloween :)
The Ghost Bride: Supernatural Historical Fantasy
First of all...its pretty. From the cover. The end pages and the inside. Second, its got map. I love books with maps. Just that simple hehe and the story sounds really good. Kind of a Pirates of the Caribbean core. Can't wait to know about it more bu...
Tempest (Deluxe Limited Edition) - The Lyrian Sea 1
Romantasy
I like my fantasy with romance. And these are the stories that stayed the most with me ;)
Definitely for the girls who grew up with fairytales. I started with this from this author.
A Court of Thorns and Roses Series by Sarah J. Maas
There is not a day where I dont have a little thought for this series since I finished it last year...it has taken a piece of me forever and I regret ever putting out for so long...thank you to my friend for encouraging me to get through the first bo...
Throne of Glass Series | Barnes & Noble®
The romantasy that got me out of a reading slump this year (caused by a mini reading ban cause I had to focus on another project) but even that mini ban did little to stop me from zapping through this book! An immersive and expansive fantasy world wi...
Shield of Sparrows: Enemies-to-Lovers Romantasy
The sequel to Shield of Sparrows that got me out of a reading slump/ban. I loved book 1 more, but this sequel is good, well-crafted, smartly done and absolutely necessary for the last book. I got some answers and even more questions. Can't wait to ha...
Rites of the Starling: Slow-Burn Epic Fantasy
I don't understand how this series is so underrated but I have lost count of how many times I read it. Such a good epic romantasy really…a street smart thief gets thrown into another world where elemental magic exists. And not as a nobody but as the ...
A Fate of Wrath & Flame by K.A. Tucker
Cozy Fantasy
For when you need easy fantasy and comfort.
I didn't expect this little gem of a book. Will always recommend for those who are like cozy regency-style fantasy stories. Had to get my paperback trophy too hahaha
Half a Soul (Regency Faerie Tales Book 1) eBook
In the same world as Half A Soul. Just warm stories. More people need to know about these books.
Ten Thousand Stitches (Regency Faerie Tales 2)
In my opinion, another underhyped series that I love. You'll love Hetta and Wyn. And this world of faeries. Cozy, warm and some political intrigue. A comfort read really.
The Lord of Stariel
Dark Academia
Atmospheric, academia. The books that make me tab a lot.
Just ...I - ....just read it...you need to experience it...There are no words to describe how this was a great read. It makes you laugh, think a lot, despair, cry and hope. And the hardcover was a good decision…beautiful edition and this is definitel...
Blood Over Bright Haven: A Novel - Books
I'm usually a epic fantasy/romantasy kind of girl...but this...it got my heart unexpectedly...you'll want to hit the book a few times just as you will cry! But I definitely recommend this book!!! Good book to annotate!
Babel: Necessity of Violence - Arcane History
I bought it for the beautiful edges but the story was just as good and for anyone who is in academia, lots of things will call to you. And honestly, some people say there's research to do to read this book but I thought it was easy enough to read, li...
Katabasis (Deluxe Limited Edition) by R. F. Kuang
Romance
Usually my summer reads. Easy, fun and relatable.
My first Emily Henry book and how I loved it! Very much a beach read itself. Lovable characters with relatable life struggles. A romance writer VS a literary writer kind of story :)
Beach Read
I like her style of writing. That goes without saying but this story is close to my heart for what it means to grow up, to change in life. It is inevitable even though you've always had one constant in your life. And here it is the story of friends w...
Happy Place
Read it. And you will find yourself needing an Adam Carlsen in your life. I mean it. It is an experience.
The Love Hypothesis
Self-Help
Sometimes I like to dabble into this genre. Helps me and makes me think.
Everybody should read this in my opinion. It brought me back to the basics, the habits. Good book to reset your mindset.
Atomic Habits: Easy Way to Build & Break Habits
Never heard about Mel Robbins but I can understand why she does what she does…she just have a voice that takes you through the conversation. I listened to it through Audible and I loved it. Great themes and great to remind you that you do you and the...
The Let Them Theory: Life-Changing Tool
Past Reads
Beautiful book. Dark read though. But it is engaging. Reads like a C-DRAMA. Vibes are like Journey to You. Dark, violent. A poor girl that sets out to be a concubine to a cruel prince to help her family. The magic system is unique. It uses poems. So ...
