Books that I couldn’t stop myself from devouring whole!! If you’re like me and tend towards more fantastical books, definitely check these out.
Song of Achilles may have shattered all of our hearts, but the goddess of witchcraft's story and Miller's lyricism will make you feel like a wild thing.
Circe | Madeline Miller
The ultimate reclamation of the evil stepmother trope. I went absolutely feral for this book
Kaikeyi | Vaishnavi Patel
Picture it - Sicily, 1922: A walking weapon of mass destruction of an antihero goes to a school where everything and everyone wants to kill you and, despite herself, ends up making friends and saving the day!
A Deadly Education | Naomi Novik
This series should be cliché, but OH BOY is it not. It’s funny, sexy, emotional, compelling, and has made me audibly gasp. Don’t walk, run.
Empire of the Vampire | Jay Kristoff
If you think overpopulation and the housing crisis are bad for us, at least it hasn't turned a princess into an assassin like it does in this series. Do not skip.
Immortal Longings | Chloe Gong
You’ll have to trust me and look past the amusingly grandiose title, because this is one of my favourite stories of all time. It’s got ancient Chinese mythology, gay shit, complicated and expertly crafted storylines, enemies-to-lovers slow burn, gay...
Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation (Mo Dao Zu Shi) | MXTX
Probably the coolest take on growing up a multiracial/multicultural kid I’ve ever read!
The Keeper of Night | Kylie Lee Baker
If you’re like me and grew up on a certain series by She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named and had an obsession with secret societies in college, then this is the book for you.
Ninth House | Leigh Bardugo
Third wave feminism in the first wave era? Witchy shit? Gay shit? Say less!!
The Once & Future Witches | Alix E. Harrow
I read this book after experiencing a heavy loss, and it was the warm hug I needed. I always love TJ Klune but this one might be my fav.
