Some of these books I have already talked about on other lists, like this one. This is part of a series, but it can be read as a standalone. The other books simply take place in the same universe. This is a fantasy romance that was so fun to read tha...

Speaking of Pride and Prejudice, I couldn't leave it out of this list. A classic and an incredible read!
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Dark academia, forbidden romance, teacher x student. That's all you need to know. (Note that it's a bit dark, do your research first!)
Nocticadia by Keri Lake

You can find this book in my romance list, along with more Talia Hibbert books that I recommend. It's just as the title says, so cute that it makes you squirm.
Highly Suspicious and Unfairly Cute - Talia Hibbert

Another book I've talked about! The emotions this book brings out when you read it are unreal. It's a YA fantasy set in an academic environment and based on Asian culture, it packs adventure and whimsical magic, with a splash of romance.

The Poppy War Series

Trilogy

The Poppy War! Oh what a wild ride it was. I don't think I've been in the depths of a book as much as I was in this one. This series is a rollercoaster that I think everyone should experience. Be mindful that it's not very sunshine and butterflies, q...
The Poppy War by R.F. Kuang

This is the second book of the trilogy. I believe this book was the most challenging for me, due to the MC's choices and hardships. It shows how Rin, despite being the MC, still doesn't know what path she should follow, which is quite relatable to al...
The Dragon Republic by R.F. Kuang

And the final book. Rin becomes stronger, and more confident in her actions. She fights for what she believes, because she has to make it count.
The Burning God by R.F. Kuang

Zodiac Academy. This one takes me back. It's quite a wild ride, tho I don't consider this as good as The Poppy War, I had a lot of fun reading it. It's a dark fantasy romance, with an academic setting once again. Enemies to lovers, bully romance and ...

Trilogy (so far)

 
Alexia Med profile picture
I remember reading the first two books and being so disappointed when I realized the third book wasn't out yet. This is a dystopian fantasy romance, where our MC ends up in jail underground, where she basically works alongside others, for all they kn...

Assistant To The Villain Series

Four Volumes (so far)

 
Alexia Med profile picture
I've talked about this series before in my whimsical books list. It's a whimsical, goofy type of romance that makes you giggle at absurd moments during the book, but makes it all the more better. This is the first book in the series.

I've talked about this series in my romance list! I would call it my first love and obsession. It's historical romance with the perfect amount of comedy and adventure. With a brooding MMC and a funny crossdresser FMC, they're honestly a match made in...
