Fantasy
For anyone who loves Pirates of the Caribbean and enemies to lovers. The book is a light read so it's perfect for anyone who likes fast-paced, short chapter books.
Daughter of the Pirate King (Daughter of the Pirate King Series #1)
A beautiful conclusion for the duology. Highly recommend to read immediately after the Daughter of the Pirate King.
Daughter of the Siren Queen (Daughter of the Pirate King Series #2)
The Folk of the Air is my absolute favorite fantasy (keep in mind this is NOT a romantasy, but rather a fantasy with a sprinkle of romance). Highly recommend especially this stunning collector's edition
The Cruel Prince: Collector's Edition|Hardcover
This is possibly my favorite book of the trilogy and finally we have a collector's edition
The Wicked King: Collector's Edition|Hardcover
A perfect conclusion to The Folk of the Air trilogy.
The Queen of Nothing: Collector's Edition|Hardcover
My favorite fantasy trilogy! This is one of those book series where it really pays off to buy the whole set immediately (that is what I did at least)
The Folk of the Air Complete Paperback Boxed Set|Paperback
It is so good to be back in Faerieland and now to follow Oak's story! Holly Black never dissapoints
The Stolen Heir: A Novel of Elfhame|Paperback
A beautifully written conclusion to The Stolen Heir duology!
The Prisoner's Throne: A Novel of Elfhame (B&N Exclusive Edition)|BN Exclusive
A mind-blowing fantasy!!! I am in love with this book. I highly recommend
Caraval (Caraval Series #1)|Paperback
A beautiful sequel to Caraval! I love that in this book Tella is the main character
Legendary (Caraval Series #2)|Paperback
This conclusion left my jaw on the floor! The world of Caraval is so beautiful and it's so hard to say goodbye
Finale (Caraval Series #3)|Paperback
After reading the Caraval trilogy, this novella was just what I needed. This one is definitely for Tella fans rather than for Scarlett fans which I was a little sad about. Nevertheless, the novella is short, sweet and romantic. I really enjoyed the w...
Spectacular (B&N Exclusive Edition): A Caraval Holiday Novella
An important thing to note for anyone who wants to read this book because they saw the movie first is that there are many differences. The original musical was inspired by this novel and then the movie was inspired by the musical. As a novel on its o...
Wicked [Movie tie-in #2]: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West|Paperback
I cannot stop thinking about this book! The characters are so beautifully written and I am obsessed with the found family trope. You can read the book even if you haven't read the Shadow and Bone series
Six of Crows (Six of Crows Series #1) by Leigh Bardugo, Paperback
This book absolutely destroyed me in the best way. This was a beautiful conclusion to the Six of Crows duology.
Crooked Kingdom (Six of Crows Series #2) by Leigh Bardugo, Paperback
Alongside Harry Potter, these are the books that really got me into fantasy and into reading. Such a classic series that I could re-read anytime.
The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings Boxed Set: The Hobbit / The Fellowship of the Ring / The Two Towers / The Return of the King|Other Format
Another Tricia Levenseller success! I read this super fast and it was such a good book. A must-read for anyone who loves fantasy enemies to lovers books
The Shadows between Us|Hardcover
I bought this book because I read some other books by Kristen Ciccarelli (The Crimson Moth / Heartless Hunter duology) and it did not disappoint. The concept of the book is very interesting and I love the way the real world plays an important role al...
A Dark Forgetting: A Novel by Kristen Ciccarelli, Paperback
This is one of my favorites for sure! The moment I saw that witches are involved I was sold. The novel is beautifully written, there is a dual pov which really improves the dynamic of the story. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS ONE
Heartless Hunter: The Crimson Moth: Book 1 by Kristen Ciccarelli, Hardcover
This was a great conclusion for this duology. The dynamic between the main characters is amazing. When I finished it, I immediately went to re-read the duology because I just couldn't say goodbye to the world and the characters just yet. Thank you Kr...<3
Rebel Witch: The Crimson Moth: Book 2 by Kristen Ciccarelli, Hardcover
I have to give a special thanks to my friend for this book because she was the one who gifted it to me. As someone who doesn't know a lot about Greek mythology, this was still a really interesting read. The main character, Circe, was written so beaut...
Circe: Deluxe B&N Exclusive Edition|BN Exclusive
After I read Daughter of the Pirate King, I wanted more pirate stories on my bookshelf and that is when I came across Fable. The thing I like most about the whole story is the main character, Fable and her growth throughout not just this book but the...
Fable: A Novel|Hardcover
I definitely liked this book better than the first one in the duology, mostly because I was already familiar with most of the characters. All in all, it was a very good duology in my opinion
Namesake: A Novel|Hardcover
As a HUGE fan of the Tinkerbell movies this book was such a gift that so many fans wanted. It felt really nostalgic to go back to Pixie Hollow. I am still obsessed with this book and Clarion's and Milori's story. Clarion is such a well-written charac...
Wings of Starlight|Hardcover
I really enjoyed this book because it felt different than most fantasy books I've recently read. I really like that the main characters are journalists so you can conclude that there will be some beautifully written letters and there are! The main ch...
I cannot wait to read the second book
I cannot wait to read the second book
Divine Rivals: A Novel|Signed Book
Such a beautiful conclusion for this duology! I am obsessed with Iris and Roman. I could honestly read a hundred books about them so it makes me sad that this is the end. I will surely re-read the books soon just so I can go back to this beautiful wo...
Ruthless Vows|Hardcover
Okay so this is a “prequel” of a sort to Divine Rivals and Ruthless Vows but it can be read on its own as well (I do recommend reading it after the duology mentioned… it's just better).
This book was soooo enchanting and romantic. Because it's characters are gods it reminded me a little bit of Greek mythology, so if you are fan of it you will love this book.
I am warning you, you will need tissues in the end but aren't those books always the best?

Holly Jackson Books
A perfect thriller trilogy
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder Series
The perfect book for anyone who loves a good plot twist
The Reappearance of Rachel Price by Holly Jackson, Paperback
As a big fan of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder when I found out there was a prequel novella I obviously had to read it and it certainly didn't disappoint
Kill Joy: A Good Girl's Guide to Murder Novella by Holly Jackson, Paperback
Another great book from Holly Jackson! This one is for the people who love a crime thriller with a smart plot twist
Five Survive by Holly Jackson, Paperback
This is the book that made me a Holly Jackson fan. The book is so smart, the whole case is so complex and this just shows what a genius Holly Jackson is.
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder #1)
This was such a good sequel, even though I still prefer AGGTM ;) In this book, the stakes felt higher because the case is not from the past but is in the present. I am such a big fan of the dynamic between Pip and Ravi! All I know is that now I cannot wait to read the final book!
Good Girl, Bad Blood (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder #2)
If I had to decribe this book in one word it would be: WOW.
This was such a powerful way to conclude this trilogy. I will really miss Pip and Ravi and Little Kilton. I think this is my favorite book in the trilogy <3

As Good as Dead (A Good Girl's Guide to Murder #3) by Holly Jackson, Paperback
I am still speechless about this book. As someone who reads all Holly Jackson books, I thought that by now it would be easier to guess “who did it?” but Holly really makes it impossible! I also believe this is such a unique story and is different tha...
Not Quite Dead Yet
The Inheritance Games saga
Such a clever story! There are many plot twists and turns but the book is soooooo good and so addicting! The chapters are short which makes you read the book super fast
The Inheritance Games (Inheritance Games Series #1)
After The Inheritance Games, I could not wait to read The Hawthorne Legacy and it certainly did not disappoint! I really appreciate the short chapters and the way something is always happening. My favorite thing in this book series will always be the...
The Hawthorne Legacy (Inheritance Games Series #2)|BN Exclusive
This book felt like a rollercoaster ride, it had so many twists and turns but it really paid off in the end. This trilogy was really amazing and I am so happy that there are more books in The Inheritance Games saga.
The Final Gambit (Inheritance Games Series #3)|Hardcover
At first it was weird reading an Inheritance Games book that was not written from Avery's perspective, however it was so cool to see Jameson's and Grayson's perspectives. I can't wait to see what is next in the world of “games upon games and riddles ...
The Brothers Hawthorne|BN Exclusive
This is a great gift for anyone who likes mystery and likes to solve it with the characters in the book.
The Inheritance Games Paperback Collection|Paperback
I believe this is the best gift for The Inheritance Games fans! Thank you Jennifer Lynn Barnes for this book! Essentially, this book is a collection of different stories all across The Inheritance Games timeline which is so smart. I thoroughly enjoye...

Such a brilliant book! I cried and laughed and just loved this story. Highly recommend
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: Deluxe Edition Hardcover: A Novel
My favorite classic. This novel will forever be one of my favorites, also this edition is so beautiful 😍
Little Women|Hardcover
Divergent was a book I read and quickly got hooked into the whole dystopian genre (because we all had that phase apparently).
I actually really liked the story and main character Tris, however I read this book years ago so I don't know what would my opinion be today. But I don't care, this book will always have a special place in my heart no matter what.

Divergent (Divergent Series #1)|Hardcover
I think I liked this book better than the first one mostly because of the relationship between Tris and Four. I also felt like there was more action in this book which was another plus for me.
Insurgent (Divergent Series #2) (Enhanced Edition)|Hardcover
I really enjoyed the finale of this trilogy. I feel like Tris' story really made sense and there is a great character growth from the beginning of the first book to this ending.
One thing that always makes me sad is that this series was never finished when it comes to the movie adaptations, but thankfully we will always have the books :)

Allegiant (Divergent Series #3)|Hardcover
This book is one of the coolest things I have as a Marvel fan!
It includes the WHOLE story of the first three phases, how they made the movies, how they cast the actors and how the MCU became what it is today.
Highly recommend
