Janurary

Kicking off the new year with a blank slate and a fresh stack of books. January is all about diving headfirst into brand-new releases, clearing out the top of my TBR pile, and setting the tone for a year of great storytelling.

This series is increidble - I read them so quick!

Brimstone (Fae & Alchemy)

This popped up as a recommendation and I'm - SO glad I clicked it.

A Tongue so Sweet and Deadly: Fates Saga

When I said I read them back to back - I mean it.

A Promise so Bold and Broken (Compelling Fates)

The story keeps on getting better and better.

A Bond so Fierce and Fragile (Compelling Fates)

February

The ultimate "stay inside where it’s warm" reading list. February is dedicated to thick, atmospheric pages, comforting genres, and the kind of books that make you want to wrap yourself in a blanket with a hot cup of coffee and ignore the winter weath...

I was devestated when the series ended. But, it was the perfect ending to a dramatic and romantic series.

A Fate so Dark and Delicate (Compelling Fates)

We love a Young Adult series. I'm a sucker for a young heroine and she doesn't disappoint.

Powerless (The Powerless Trilogy)

This series hooked me from the first one. I was SO lucky it was complete before I started.

Reckless (The Powerless Trilogy)

March

March reading is all about fast-paced books that keep me awake way past my bedtime. As we wait for the seasons to shift, these are the gripping plots and immersive worlds that successfully got me through the final stretch of winter.

A great wrap up to another fabulous series. Young love - I'm a sucker.

Fearless (The Powerless Trilogy)

Okay, so… If you can hold on through this book you're in for a wild ride of 10+ books. It gets into some hazing, and you want to throttle the heirs, but I PROMISE it's all worth it.

Zodiac Academy: The Awakening

April

Spring has officially arrived, and it's time to refresh the bookshelf. April’s list is a mix of bright, uplifting contemporary fiction, lighthearted escapes, and a few highly anticipated titles that completely lived up to the hype.

Following our favourite gemini twins through their journey to fit into the fae world.
I couldn't put these down.

Zodiac Academy 2: Ruthless Fae

The answer to your question will be revealed on the Lunar Eclipse. But when discovering the truth, do not let the shadows take you.

Zodiac Academy 3: The Reckoning

The shadows are in my blood.

Zodiac Academy 4: Shadow Princess

The stars have cursed us all.

Zodiac Academy 5: Cursed Fates

Fate has torn us apart.

Zodiac Academy 6: Fated Throne

The winds of fate are shifting.

Zodiac Academy 7: Heartless Sky

May

May is for those cozy, rainy spring afternoons where the only valid plan is to read for hours. This month features a diverse mix of genres—from slow-burn fiction to stories that left me completely emotional by the final page.

I pre-ordered this book the second I finished Shield of Sparrows. I have also done the same with the 3rd book in the series.

RITES OF THE STARLING is the epic, heart-pounding sequel to Devney Perry’s #1 New York Times bestselling SHIELD OF SPARROWS. A princess journeys across a cursed realm to find the truth about her family, only to discover her quest intertwines with the...

Rites of the Starling: Epic Romantic Fantasy

I'm obsessed, and can't wait for the next one!

In the heart-pounding sequel to Silver Elite, lines will be crossed, loyalties will be tested, and the fight for the Continent is only just beginning as Wren Darlington finds herself caught in the middle of two wars: one for the fate of her home and ...

Broken Dove (Silver Elite)

All stars must fall.

I read this in tandem with book 8.5 Beyond the Veil. I googled the chapter list and followed it from there. It gives the story an additional persecptive of their loved ones watching from beyond.

Zodiac Academy 8: Sorrow and Starlight

I read this in tadem with book 8 - I highly recommend doing so - there are some overlapping sections, but they do give additional perspectives and information. I don't think I would have enjoyed reading them one at a time.

The stars called us. The Veil closed at our backs. And now death holds us in its clutches.

Zodiac Academy 8.5: Beyond The Veil

I opened this not knowing what I was getting into. Was recommended on Amazon months ago.
OH MY GOODNESS. It's like Outlander but without the time travel and with wolves. HA!

From BookTok sensation Lauren Palphreyman comes the first in the Wolf King series, an adult fantasy romance for fans of romantasy, werewolves, forbidden romance, and enemies to lovers. When a princess is kidnapped by an alpha, war rages between the h...

The Wolf King: Enemies-to-Lovers Werewolf Romance

This series kept me on my toes. Twists on every page. I am obsessed and have already ordered the 3rd book!

The Night Prince (Deluxe Edition) (Wolf King, 2)

June

Stepping into the warmer weather with some incredible stories. June is the bridge into summer, filled with easy-to-read, captivating books that are perfect for afternoon reading sessions on the porch or by an open window.

The cutest summer teen romance. Was recommended by a friend, and have already purchased the rest of her books!

Every Summer After

Orphans. Changelings. Princesses. Queens.

This final edition of the Zodiac Academy Series was WILD. Short chapters, different POVs. My heartrate was up there! An intense ending that'll have you holding your breath!

Zodiac Academy 9: Restless Stars
