items I read about 2-3 books a week (on a good week okay). I am not dedicated to a specific genre and like to switch it up often. Ever read a book and forgot what it’s about after closing it? Yeah, same. If a book is on this list, it’s because I couldn’t S...

I ran through this book in one evening. This is a mystery/thriller that’ll keep you on the edge of your seat.
The Ghostwriter: A Novel|Hardcover
This is a feel-good whodunit. Amateur sleuthing, a quiet village, a stately home. What more could you ask for? This book jumps timelines, but the parallels between characters was astonishing.
How to Solve Your Own Murder: A Novel|Paperback
A GREAT follow-up to “How to Solve your own Murder”
You follow along with the same MC, and the timeline jumps back and forth (similar to first book). Something about an old manor, it’s rich history in a town full of secrets… oh and the new owner has...

If that doesn’t suck you in… I don’t know what will! This is a fast read, with a podcast setting. You’ll feel like you ar...
Listen for the Lie: A Novel|Paperback
Romance
Be warned: there’s some dark romance in here. There’s also some feel-goods and classic rom-coms, so there’s something for everyone :)
The first of three books in this series! I’d rather you go in blind when reading… but maybe check the trigger warnings 🤣
Butcher & Blackbird (Ruinous Love Trilogy #1)|Paperback
Book two of a three book series. Lemme tell you…. you’ll want this on standby after reading book one
Leather & Lark (Ruinous Love Trilogy #2)|Paperback
1
Third of three! Super easy read and it follows its own plot line with subtle tie ins to the other two books
Scythe & Sparrow (B&N Exclusive Edition) (Ruinous Love Trilogy #3)|BN Exclusive
A romantic comedy and feel good story. I probably looked crazy reading this because I was smiling the whole time. A really fun read, it has some heavy notes but they were navigated well. I loved the idea behind this book, the literal title “the passi...
Passion Project: A Novel|Paperback
This book will make you FEEL. It touches on grief, love and the strength of people and their hearts.
The Last Love Note: A Novel|Hardcover
Fantasy & Sci-Fi
This will probably be the longest recs I have. I’ve really fallen deep into fantasy. This is the genre that lets me completely forget my surroundings, my reality. These are going to be longer, and probably multiple books in a series, I mean how else ...
You will fall in love with all these characters and cry alongside them.
Part sci-fi adventure, part coming-of-age, part found family story.
The Bones Beneath My Skin (B&N Exclusive Edition)|BN Exclusive
Small overview (absolutely should go in blind): Two sisters swept up in a mysterious competition filled with magic, heartbreak, and danger.
WELCOME TO CARAVAL
Caraval (Caraval Series #1)|Paperback
This book has time shifting/travel. It’s almost in between sci-fi and fantasy with a woman trying to break a generational curse, while also finding love and trying to solve her mother’s disappearance. They all tie in together beautiful, and I can say...
The Unmaking of June Farrow: A Novel|Paperback
Romantasy
This deserved its own section, romance + fantasy is probably my favorite mix of genres. You get the intensive world building but also butterflies as you read? A true win in my book
🔥ROMANTASY🔥
It’s a war college where you either succeed, or die trying. The world building is next level, and the chemistry and tension is… 😮💨 I would recommend have the next two books on standby. Oh, did I mention the dragons?
Fourth Wing|Special
Dark Magic? Romance? Plot Twists? What more could you ask for. Truly a great and easy read that really paints a setting.
A deadly competition, a dangerous bargain and forced-proximity make this the paranormal romance of our dreams.
Phantasma|Paperback
I mean, naturally I’m going to recommend this whole series. This is book 2 and it’s definitely heavier on the romance if you know what I mean 😮💨 *This is an incomplete series (author has confirmed book #4)*
Iron Flame|Special
