Dark Academia
Live your dark, Hogwarts, Victorian lives. Sometimes with lots of magic!
Dark academia? Interesting magic system? Found family? Destroying an inherently racist and misogynistic system? A few tears here and there? Get this book.
Babel by R.F. Kuang
A new approach to a world of magic. Set against the back drop of New England and the much talked about secret houses of Yale, Galaxy Stern uncovers the true terrifying power of magic. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel! A strong female character who is ...
Ninth House (Alex Stern, #1) by Leigh Bardugo - Goodreads
A wonderful sequel to a very stunning first novel. It took me a while to get into this just because there was so much time between the first book and the second book coming out. Bardu go also just thrust you into the world and expects you to catch up...
Hell Bent (Alex Stern, #2) by Leigh Bardugo - Goodreads
Humor
Books that will make you laugh, chuckle, and that weird huff through your nose.
A classic satire. John Candy was supposed to star in the movie!
A Confederacy of Dunces (Evergreen Book)
Fantasy
The fantasy list of my dreams. And perhaps yours!
One of the most amazing future fantasy stories of the 21st century.
The Fifth Season (The Broken Earth, #1) by N.K. Jemisin
Sequel to The Fifth Season. More world building, magic, lore, and…betrayal?
The Obelisk Gate (The Broken Earth, 2)
The final in The Broken Earth trilogy. A masterful ending to an absolute masterpiece of a series.

This book is stacked full of allegory, metaphors, analogies, and yet at the same time, it feels all meaningless, because this book is painfully aware that it is just a story. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with telling a good story.
I recommend t...
The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern - Goodreads
One of the most prolific series of the 20th century. If you are an epic fantasy reader who doesn’t want to commit too much time to each book (looking at your Terry Brooks), give this a read.
Definitely appeals to a younger audience with a much more ...
A Wizard of Earthsea (Earthsea Cycle, #1) by Ursula K. Le Guin
Adult
I was absolutely not prepared to be gutted and such a wonderful way. The author with an incredible tale of the shattering of an idyllic suburban life. If you were to boil everything down, you could say that the story is mainly about two families, how...
Little Fires Everywhere (miniseries) - Wikipedia
Horror
The author was very smart by starting the Book at the lowest point that anyone can find themselves, so then the audience has no choice but to immediately be thrust into this world and you were given hope that maybe something can change. And as you fo...
