Romance
This book was so cute! I love all the little ways that Aiden sees Lucie!
First-Time Caller
Don’t read the last paragraph of the description; I did, and I 100% wish I didn’t. I love this book, Connolly’s depiction/talk of grief, and how everything unfolded the way that it did. 10/10 would recommend!
PS: I Hate You
I would say that this book was more realistic than a typical romance book, and I actually really appreciated that. I feel like a lot of the books that I’ve been reading recently have been tying too many things into neat little bow, so this was a nice...
Say You'll Remember Me
This was such a cute story, and I loved how the author really made sure to make everyone’s awareness of Ali’s kids.
Summer Romance
I don’t want to spoil this for anyone that reads it, so all I’ll say is that I really liked it.
A Novel Love Story
Fantasy
*Book 2 of 4 in the series*
I think this book healed something in me that I didn’t think still festered. For some reason, I also didn’t think that I’d like this series as much as I do so far and I’m honestly kind of sad that I know bits and pieces o...
A Court of Mist and Fury
*Book 7 of 7 in the series*
After the reprieve the last book gave me, I wasn’t entirely sure I was going to enjoy this book as much, but I was so wrong. I also honestly didn’t think I’d enjoy this series as much as I did, but I’m glad I gave it a sh...
Kingdom of Ash
*Book 6 of 7 in the series*
I almost didn’t read this book because of how much of a butthead Choal is, but thank goodness I did because it’s not one of my favorite books of this series.
Tower of Dawn
*Book 3 of 7 in the series*
This is my favorite book of the series so far. Maas’s writing, at least to me, seems to have really evolved over the course of these books, and this one is the best yet.
Heir of Fire
This is (currently) my #1 book of the year. If you’ve only watched the show, I implore you to read the book because I did the reverse and I honestly don’t know if I’ll be able to finish the show.
A Discovery of Witches: A Novel
*Book 2 of 3 in the series*
I’m still not over the end of this book 😭
The Dragon Republic
I absolutely loved the first and second books of this series! I’m currently struggling through the third, so we’ll see how things end up 🤷🏻♀️
The Poppy War: A Novel
