Fantasy
Who doesn’t love made up worlds with creatures who speak and magic systems you couldn’t even fathom????!!!
Ugh this book. Originally written for his wife, this cozy read was too sweet and fun to keep for herself. I immediately fell in love with the characters and couldn’t get enough. Worth a second, third and fourth read!
Tress of the Emerald Sea - Brandon Sanderson
A thirteenth child blessed and cursed by Death himself has to learn how to navigate these new skills not without dilemma! I loved how dark the settings were and the character development and I’d consider this is quick read!
The Thirteenth Child by Erin A. Craig
Of course I have to add a ROMANTASY. This one follows a witch and a witch hunter. The best description I have is a steamy game of cat & mouse. Try it. Please, I beg.
Heartless Hunter by Kristen Ciccarelli
This is one book of two. So I will speak on the duology as a whole because I think the second is better than the first! This I would say is romantasy with enemies to lovers trope. It’s seeping at the edges with magic, spirits & mystery. Definitel...
A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross
Science Fiction Thriller
Okay, I won’t lie, the books I’ve read under this genre are few BUT they have STUCK in parts of my brains, grew roots & will be there forever I fear.
Okay okay, I know Stephen King. But I promise this one is GREAT. I don’t wanna spoil a thing but if you want a ride, start this one. It’s a bit on the longer side but not so difficult to follow. Then come back and comment what you think so we can dis...

Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
Books that made me sob (Historical Fiction)
Let the ugly crying commence. When I tell you, I had to take days to recover from these books. They hit my heart & scarred it. You’ll be mourning for days.
This story follows two French sisters during WW2 and I will not sugar coat… the tragedies they went through will have knots in your throat and tears ready to flow.
The Nightingale: A Novel - Hannah, Kristin: Books
If you seen my other historical fiction rec you’d notice a trend. This follows two women & follows a very real spy network that existed during WWI. I felt everything, anger, hopelessness, sadness. Such a powerful novel.
The Alice Network by Kate Quinn
This book has stuck with me for years. A family saga that follows some devastating stories of survival through the horrors of the slave trade, American civil war and more that will leave you devastated in such a necessary way.
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
This story follows a mother who is looking for her five children who were all born and sold into slavery. I cried and I cried some more.
River Sing Me Home by Eleanor Shearer
