📖 The Empyrean Series (Dragon Riders + War College Drama)
A newer fantasy series that exploded on BookTok. If you love dragons, intense training academies, and enemies-to-lovers romance, this series is dangerously bingeable.
I picked this up after seeing it everywhere on BookTok and ended up finishing it way faster than expected. The mix of dragon riders, war college training, and slow-burn enemies-to-lovers romance makes it ridiculously addictive. If you love fantasy ro...
Fourth Wing (The Empyrean 1)
This is book two of the Fourth Wing / Empyrean series and the stakes get so much higher here. The world building expands a lot in this book, and you start to see how complicated the war, alliances, and secrets really are. The slow burn romance is sti...

Onyx Storm (The Empyrean 3)
🌹 ACOTAR Series (Fantasy Romance Classic)
One of the most beloved fantasy romance series of the last decade. This world of fae courts, political intrigue, and unforgettable characters is what got me completely hooked on fantasy again.
It took me a while to finally pick this up because of all the hype on BookTok, but once I did I immediately understood why people love this series so much. The story starts off feeling a bit like a dark fantasy fairytale, but it quickly pulls you int...
A Court of Thornes and Roses
Don’t take this lightly when I say this is one of the best fantasy romance books I’ve ever read. The love story between the two main characters really evolves here, and the slow burn tension is incredible. If you like emotional character development,...
A Court of Mist and Fury
This book is where everything really comes together in the ACOTAR series. The stakes are massive, the battles are intense, and you start seeing the full scope of the world Sarah J. Maas built. I loved how much deeper we get to know the characters and...
A Court of Wings and Ruin
This one feels like a little breather after everything that happens in A Court of Wings and Ruin. It’s a shorter story that focuses more on the characters healing and adjusting after the war. You get to spend more relaxed time with the Night Court cr...
A Court of Frost and Starlight
This book shifts the focus to Nesta and Cassian, and it’s easily the most intense and emotional story in the series. Nesta’s character development is powerful, and her journey dealing with trauma and finding her strength again is really well written....
A Court of Silver Flames
🤠 Chestnut Springs Series (Cowboy Romance)
This small-town romance series is one of my favorite comfort reads. Set in the fictional town of Chestnut Springs, the stories follow different characters who are all connected through family, friendships, and the local ranching world. If you love sw...
This is the first book in the Chestnut Springs series and it introduces the whole world of the Eaton family. The story follows a professional bull rider and his unexpected fake-dating situation with his agent’s daughter, which leads to a really fun s...
Flawless (Chestnut Springs, #1)
This book focuses on Cade Eaton and honestly might be one of my favorites in the series. The grumpy single-dad rancher trope mixed with a sunshine nanny character makes the romance really sweet and emotional. Watching Cade slowly open up and soften t...
Heartless (Chestnut Springs, #2)
Powerless follows Jasper Eaton, who might be one of the most lovable characters in the entire series. His relationship with Sloane develops in such a natural way, and their history together adds a lot of emotional depth to the story. The friends-to-l...
Powerless (Chestnut Springs, #3)
This book shifts the focus to Winter and Theo, and their story brings a lot of emotional tension to the series. Theo’s protective personality combined with Winter’s independence creates a really compelling dynamic between the two characters. The roma...
Reckless (Chestnut Springs, #4)
Hopeless continues expanding the Chestnut Springs world while giving more depth to the characters we’ve already come to love. By this point in the series you feel really invested in the entire group, and it’s fun seeing how all their lives intersect....
Hopeless (Chestnut Springs, #5)
💛 The Knockemout Series (Small-Town Romance)
This small-town romance series takes place in the chaotic but lovable town of Knockemout, where every story follows a different couple while still keeping you connected to the entire friend group. The characters are messy, emotional, and hilarious in...
