Fantasy Romance
Amazing fantasy romance reads (spicy and not so spicy) for adventure AND love.
Cozy vibes of Gilmore girls, but make it an adorable fantasy romance. 10/10 would recommend.
The Spellshop by Sarah Beth Durst
🔥🔥Grumpy MMC, great spice, fun magical world, an adorable FOX SIDEKICK. What more could you want?
Quicksilver (Fae & Alchemy, #1) by Callie Hart
It might take a minute to get into this one but TRUST ME. Stunningly beautiful story.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V.E. Schwab
I read a lot of fantasy books, but this one felt so different. The magic system was unique and fascinating, and the story was gothic and beautiful. It’s still a romance, but it’s a sub plot and so worth it.
One Dark Window (The Shepherd King, #1) by Rachel Gillig
This is one of those rare books that made me laugh AND cry, sometimes at the same time. Such a cute and heartwarming story.
The House in the Cerulean Sea
Romance (Adult)
18+ romance reads when you need a little heat
🔥🔥🔥 “Good girl”. Need I say more?
Praise (Salacious Players Club, #1) by Sara Cate
🔥🔥 Did I ever think I’d get into birding? Absolutely not. Did this book get me into birding? Yes. Also ACTUAL ADULTS falling in love?? Swoon.
Birding with Benefits by Sarah T. Dubb
🔥🔥Gahhhh. This book is one of my holy grails. Fake dating, college sports romance. HE READS HER FAVORITE SPICY BOOKS TO TAKE NOTES.
Blind Side
🔥🔥Sapphic, rivals-to-lovers, grumpy/sunshine, dual pov, and neurodivergent representation! Equal parts cute and spicy 🥰
Cleat Cute by Meryl Wilsner
YA
Sometimes you just need a pg-13 YA book to make you believe in love again.
This enemies to lovers, fake dating romance made me actually squeal. So freaking adorable and heartwarming.
Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter
This book was such a stunningly beautiful exploration of grief and hope. I read it every time I need a quick book to remind me why I love stories.
Devil and the Bluebird by Jennifer Mason-Black
This is a go-to when I need something quick to get me back into reading. It’s funny, cute and dramatic.
The DUFF: Designated Ugly Fat Friend by Kody Keplinger
The fairy tales you know but make it sci fi! I had such a fun time with this series and I highly recommend.
The Lunar Chronicles Series by Marissa Meyer
