Fantasy and Spice 🌶️
If there's one thing I know I have the most of in my bookshelf, it's fantasy. I can't get enough of it and I enjoy being pulled into another world and staying there for HOURS
Fair warning: once you enter Prythian, there’s no coming back. This book will steal your sleep, your sanity, and maybe your heart (looking at you, Rhysand). Proceed with caution… and a glass of wine.#Ilovemybatboys
A Court of Thorns and Roses (Book 1)
Death, magic, and a slow‑burn romance so good it should be illegal.
House of Earth and Blood (Crescent City, 1)
This man stole my heart and he will steal yours too
Quicksilver
I read this book in two days…it would've been I didn't have work
Fourth Wing (The Empyrean, 1)
Okay, when I first picked this book up in store, it was a brick — meaning it’s THICK. But once I started, I couldn’t stop. Dragons, romance, and plot twists that had me up until 3 a.m. Totally worth the arm workout.
When the Moon Hatched (The Moonfall Series, 1)
I picked this up thinking it’d just be another fantasy romance… nope. I was instantly hooked. It’s got action, mystery, vampires, and a romance that’ll make you forget about real life. Couldn’t put it down.
From Blood and Ash
Let me first preface this by saying that this series is long but sooo good. It's like reading a reality tv show in the best way possible.
Zodiac Academy 1: The Awakening (1)
This book had me screaming at the top of my lungs. It's the second book to the Fourth Wing series and there was no way I could put this down as soon as I picked it up! Amazing writing and the storyline is just too good to beat.
Iron Flame (The Empyrean, 2)
Vampires, danger, and a competition where losing means death — this book had me glued from page one. The romance? Slow‑burn perfection. I’m still thinking about it.
The Serpent & Wings of Night: Nightborn 1
This felt like stepping into a dark, magical fairy tale. Curses, secrets, and a touch of romance that kept me turning pages way past bedtime. Totally worth the lost sleep.
The Wren in the Holly Library (Oak & Holly)
Books if you want to sob 💔
I often pick up a book and without any prior knowledge of its story…and I always end up sobbing. In this list, these books are definitely going to make you cry but also take you for a ride.
This book took me through the ringer, is the writing a 10/10…no but it's still captivated me to no end
We Were Liars
This book is just beautiful. The tears I cried the head spin it gave me, I cannot recommend this enough
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue
Fantasy with a lil bit of spice 🧚♂️
Okay, yes. Sometimes the spice can be too much and I'm completely there with you. These books are when I want an easy read but still the world building of fantasy and a romance that will lift you off your feet and having you giggling at 3am
Okay, I’m obsessed. This book had me grinning like an idiot — Bristol Keats is my new fictional crush and I’m not even sorry.
The Courting of Bristol Keats: A Novel
This book had me hooked in the first chapter. Enemies‑to‑lovers, fae politics, and Jude being an absolute queen — I devoured it.
The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air, 1)
When I first grabbed Caraval, I thought I was just in for some magical fun — but no. It’s whimsical, twisty, and had me questioning reality the whole time. Felt like stepping into a dream I never wanted to leave.
Caraval (Book 1)
Books that give you lessons 👩🏫
This book is such a quick read but packs a punch. It really made me rethink how I talk to myself and others — simple concepts, but life‑changing if you actually put them into practice.
The Four Agreements: Practical Guide to Freedom
