Dragons, deadly war colleges, and a hero who’s one bad day away from setting everything on fire. It’s chaotic, it’s spicy, and I’m officially not okay.
Fourth Wing | Barnes & Noble®
T. Kingfisher is a genius. It’s funny, the main character is relatable, and the romance involves a man literally trapped in a sword. It’s as unhinged as it sounds.
Swordheart | Barnes & Noble®
Enemies-to-lovers through magical typewriters. This book effectively destroyed my heart and then rebuilt it. 10/10 would cry over these letters again.

"Getting the band back together" but for retired mercenaries. It’s hilarious, action-packed, and proof that your best days aren't behind you.

Gothic, atmospheric, and just a little bit creepy. The magic system involving decks of cards is one of the coolest things I’ve read this year.

The Priory of the Orange Tree | Barnes & Noble®
