Fantasy Recs
A fantasy with a romance side-plot. You will definitely want to get your hands on this one if you are a YA fan.
The Folk of the Air
Another fantasy must-have! It is whimsical and beautiful. Plus, it has one of my favorite book boyfriends. ;)
Once Upon a Broken Heart
A fantasy series that also has a spin-off. It is a world that you HAVE to read about.
Caraval
I'll be honest…these books are old. BUT they are a classic. I loved them growing up. Vampire Academy is filled with betrayal, angst, and of course…romance. If you are a vampire fan, you need to read this one.
Vampire Academy
This is a continuation/spinoff of the Vampire Academy series. It is sooo good and includes one of my favorite characters in the entire VA universe. You NEED to read these books.
Bloodlines
This book is for my sci-fi lovers! If you are interested in the advancement of AI and futuristic stories, you will want to give this one a read. It is a short book, so I flew through it very quickly!
Annie Bot
Zodiac Academy is a WILD RIDE! If you need a fantasy series that will keep you invested the entire time, then look no further. It is a long series (with long books). So, you will want to be a dedicated reader if you want to dive into this one.
Zodiac Academy
Tear-Jerkers
“Archer's Voice” has remained one of my favorite books over the last few years. It is a romance book that will make you laugh, and maybe even make you cry. It's between a man who can't talk, and a woman who finds a way to listen to him. Definitely a ...
Archer's Voice
A tragedy wrapped in pretty wrapping paper with a bright red bow. It is a love story that is character-driven and a slowburn. One of my favorite reads this year.
If He Had Been with Me
A gut-punch of a book. It is heart-breaking so be prepared for that. Also, check your triggers. But it is worth a read and a captivating story.
The Way I Used to Be
This book is DEVASTATING. It tore me up and broke my heart, but it also let me learn about a love story that means so much to me.
Full Tilt
This is another sad one, but I gave it a 5 star rating. It is a military romance with a single mom and a veteran. The angst, drama, and pain in this one is soooo worth the read.
The Last Letter
Romances
Generally speaking, I recommend ALL of Elsie Silver's books, but Reckless and Theo Silva are my far by favorite in the whole series. Who doesn't love a cowboy romance with a bull-rider and banter galore!! It is sooo fun.

Misc. YA Books
Need a book of mystery, filled with nepo babies and puzzling men? “The Inheritance Games” is the perfect book for you. It is a YA novel about a girl who inherits nearly everything from a multi-billionarie, but she has no idea why. Definitely a good m...
The Inheritance Games
Memoirs
This memoir has been out for a while, but if you were a Jennette McCurdy fan then this really puts things into perspective about her life. If you haven't read her story yet, then you really should.
