A selection of my favorite fiction books that I have read recently
About a coffee shop in a fantasy realm. LOVED this series - such a cozy novel!
Legends & Lattes
If you love magic and cottage-core, this is definitely a great read! The main character begins her life anew in a remote island village.
The spellshop
Wonderful read! This is the novel version, there's also a manga - both are equally as sweet with slightly different story lines.
She and Her Cat: Stories
Read this one recently, I was blown away. Coming of age witch tale in medieval Russia.
The Bear and the Nightingale (Winternight Trilogy)
This book series made me feel like a kid again. Mystery and fantasy in a prestigious high school.
Undercover Princess
For younger readers but I adored it. Puzzles and magic in a bookshop. It's based on a real bookshop and people that existed in Melbourne, Australia with a fictitious plot (and magic).
The Grandest Bookshop in the World
One of my all-time favorite reads. I don't want to say more it's better if you have no idea what you're getting into here hahaha
The Starless Sea
Wonderfully unique book about magic and mystery. I've never read about magic in the way this author has written about it before.
A Marvellous Light
I've never read anything like it! Unique story about a group of friends who become indie video game developers together.
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
A thriller from start to finish and visually amazing. It uses text like an artform. Think: zombies in space.
Illuminae (The Illuminae Files)
Another great series from these authors, they know how to write gripping books. It just got better and better with each book in the series.
Aurora Rising (Aurora Cycle Series #1)|Paperback
Hands down my favourite of the shadow hunter series. Would re-read in a heartbeat.
The Infernal Devices, the Complete Collection
I would call this series a modern classic...! It had me gripped from start to finish. Definitely holds up all these years later for a re-read.
The Raven Boys (Raven Cycle Series #1)
Just finished this one - a charming read, both wholesome and mysterious...! Cats are helping humans with their lives...but who are the strange people dealing out the cats??
We'll Prescribe You a Cat
✨Graphic Novels✨
These graphic novels have wonderful art and storylines. Give them a try!
Beautifully illustrated, a wonderful read. I believe there is also a card game out based on these illustrations.
The Tea Dragon Society Slipcase Box Set: The Complete Collection
Love love LOVE - I also love the Netflix adaption. Had me giddy with warm fuzzies the whole way through. I can't wait for the next book.
Heartstopper, Volume 1
A wonderful little read. Brought a tear to my eye as a cat owner.
She and Her Cat: Stories
✨Non-Fiction✨
I'm a big fan of self-help books and also illustrated/photography books.
I'm currently reading this. I am someone who loves fun facts and am curious about the origins of words and expressions. It's a great book to read a couple of pages a day rather than all at once.
Useless Etymology: Offbeat Word Origins for Curious Minds | Hardcover
I love all Meredith Gaston books. Her illustrations are stunning! She's got a number of great books out now. This is just one of them.
Creativity: Your Daily Gift
This is my number one book for getting through emotionally hard times. Some great anecdotes and advice in this book for a healing journey.
When Life is Not Peachy: Real-life lessons in recovery from heartache, loss & tough times
I love all three of the photo books in this series. Looking at the illustrations makes me feel like I'm there.
London in Bloom
Photo book - stunning photography. I like to pick this up when I need something to flick through but don't have the energy to read.
Paris in Bloom by Georgianna Lane, Hardcover
I love flicking through my copy every now and then. I have good memories of looking through this in the sunshine while sipping on a lemonade.
New York in Bloom
Brilliant advice - and it's written by Dan! He also has snippets of advice from a real psychologist, it's a well made book.
You Will Get Through This Night
✨Classics✨
You can never go wrong with picking up a classic in my opinion. Many of them are quite timeless!
An absolute classic - I only read recently for the first time. I love an adventure book and this is a grand adventure but with rabbits.
Watership Down: A Novel
A childhood classic, but still fun to re-read as an adult. It feels like something my mum would have read to me as a kid, very comforting.
Ballet Shoes | Paperback
