items Since being a little girl I’ve always loved reading but as I got older I had less time and never really read anymore. However over the last year, I have really got back into reading (especially on my kindle) and these are all of the books that got me...

The Dream Harbour series ☕️🍂📚💌🧁🌲
Think Gilmore Girls vibes with a charming small town, quirky locals, cosy cafes, community events and plenty of romance. The Dream Harbour series is one of my all-time favourites - I got through all of these books so fast! Several of the books are se...
This is book one of 6 from the Laurie Gilmore Dream Harbour series. This book is a slow burn romance between a grumpy x sunshine pairing. The vibe is very similar to that of Luke and Lorelai in Gilmore Girls. All of these books are a very similar fee...
1: The Pumpkin Spice Café🐻🧡🍂🪵🥮
This book again has a smalltown cosy vibe to it, however this one is much more of a summer read👙🍉⛱️🩷. It follows 2 friends who follow a scavenge hunt from clues, which turns into a romance along the way. All of these books can definitely be read s...
2: The Cinnamon Bun Book Store🍯🥨🥐🧡
This book follows the enemy to lovers trope, and I love this one so much as an animal lover!! Lots of fun pets and animals mentioned, and also old love letters from the past makes it such a heartwarming read🐾💌🐕. This one is a Christmas read, so pe...
3: The Christmas Tree Farm🎄🧑🏻🎄🌨️⛄️
Definitely one of the funnier books! This one had points that had me not able to put the book down! Like when the opposite of what you want to happen ends up happening so you have to carry on and see how it ends. This book felt much more realistic an...
4: The Strawberry Patch Pancake House🥞❤️🍰🍓🍯
Hands down my FAV book of the series 1000x over - one of the only books ever to make me cry! This was such a beautiful and real, raw love story i love love love this one. There are flashbacks between teenage years and the present as the book follows ...
5: The Ginger Bread Bakery🍪🧡🥨🍮
I had finished the series before this final book came out so I had to wait around a while for it - and I was NOT disappointed. Like all the other books it is just such a fun heartwarming feel-good read. It was really nice that reading this book tied ...
6: The Daisy Chain Flower Shop🌼💛☀️🌅
The Twilight Saga 🍎🦇💌🖤
This series took me almost a year to get through!! But such an amazing series. I watched all the films before reading the books and I’m actually glad I did it that way around. The books are tenfold better than the films! There are so so so many extra...
This is such an easy book to get lost in, especially in autumn or winter. It’s got a rainy small town mysterious vibe to it and it is such a comfort book. The book dives so so much deeper into Bella and Edward’s relationship than the film shows us an...
1: Twilight🍎
New moon has a much sadder and more emotional feel to it as we experience Bella’s heartbreak. It can make the book feel a bit slow at times but it’s a really great read getting to see her and Jacob’s friendship grow. Just like the film, this probably...
2: New moon🌹
This book is definitely more intense and dramatic than the first two so I love this one being more fast paced. The romantic triangle and tension between Edward, Bella and Jacob is a huge part of this book and there is such a deep dive into the Cullen...
3: Eclipse🥀
This one is a much longer read as it is split into 3 separate parts so is definitely the reason why it took me so long to finish the series. One of the parts is written from Jacob’s point of view which I really enjoyed as all the rest of the books ar...
4: Breaking Dawn♟️♥️
I actually haven’t read this one yet as I’m saving it to read in autumn but I do know that this book is basically a rewrite of the first Twilight book - but told from Edward’s POV. I’ve heard so many good things about this book like one of Bella and ...
5: Midnight Sun 🌅
I added this link on here because it is probably cheaper to buy all the books at once as a box set. These books are also done in white which is completely different from the famous black covers! This set also includes a bonus book called ‘The Short S...
Twilight Saga: 6 Book Set
Erica James books🌷🌱🐣
Erica James is one of my favourite authors for comforting, emotional reads with memorable characters and beautiful settings. Her books usually follow several people whose lives gradually become connected, with a mixture of family drama, friendship, r...
This (and The Ginger Bread Bakery book recommended earlier) is one of only two books ever that has made me cry. I’d say it has a similar emotional romantic vibe to the film The Notebook - so if you love that film then this book is for you! It’s perfe...
Song of the Skylark🕊️🤍
This is an emotional story about friendship, marriage and how surviving something life-changing can continue to affect people long afterwards. I really liked that it follows several connected characters, each dealing with their own relationships, sec...
It's the Little Things
This is a really absorbing family drama about marriage, betrayal and starting over later in life. The main character, Louisa, believes she has had a happy marriage for decades, so her husband suddenly asking for a divorce—and revealing that he has fa...

Other books I’ve read this year📖
The books in this section don’t really belong to any book series or a particular author - they are just random books I have found which I’ve really enjoyed reading this year! There is a mixture of romance, fairytale and fantasy so there is plenty to ...
This book is another one that has a very similar vibe to the Gilmore Girls. I loved the cosy 1990’s small town setting and the slow burn romance between a girl going through grief and her friendly next door neighbour. There are some emotional moments...
If It Makes You Happy🍁🍂🥮
The Ex Vows was such an emotional and addictive second-chance romance. I really liked Georgia and Eli because their relationship felt much more complicated and realistic than a typical romance, and you could genuinely understand why they still cared ...
The Ex Vows By Jessica Joyce
This book completely surprised me and ended up being one of those books that I couldn’t stop thinking about after I finished it. I loved how natural the relationship felt, and I found myself really rooting for the characters from the beginning. I al...
