  • There’s something magical about books that radiate sunshine, salty air, and the sweet drip of melted popsicles—even when you’re curled up on the couch with the A/C blasting. This week’s Top Ten Tuesday is all about books that scream summer—whether it’s a beachy romance, a dreamy road trip, or a sun-soaked fantasy. Here are ten…

  • Sundays are made for slowing down, sinking into stories, and sipping something warm (or iced, if you’re like me and still pretending it’s summer). This week, my TBR has been an eclectic mix of dystopian dread, death-defying horse races, and dark dungeon-crawling hilarity. So, naturally, I had to pair each read with a brew that…

  • Every reader has a few books they press into friends’ hands like holy texts. You know the ones—the titles you bring up constantly, the stories that still live rent-free in your brain years later, and the characters you think about like they’re exes you’re still not over. Here are five books I keep recommending like…

  • If my current reads say anything about me, it’s that I have zero genre loyalty and a deep appreciation for chaos. I’m bouncing between atmospheric fantasy, dystopian sci-fi, and a dungeon crawl from hell—each wildly different, and all completely absorbing in their own ways. Here’s what I’m currently reading and loving: 🐴 The Scorpio Races…

Sometimes, it’s about carving out…

  • Julia Fine’s What Should Be Wild is one of those books that feels like wandering into a misty forest—you’re intrigued, a little enchanted, but also slightly disoriented and not totally sure where you’re going. The story follows Maisie Cothay, a girl born with a deadly gift: anything she touches—living or dead—either dies or comes back…

  • Some books leave you entertained. Others leave you wrecked. And then there are the rare ones that crawl under your skin, take up residence in your brain, and quietly whisper: What if everything you believe is wrong? These are the books that make you pause, re-read whole pages, and stare at the wall afterward. They…

  • Welcome to the emotional battlefield. Bring snacks. Sometimes reading is a transcendent experience. Other times, it’s screaming into a pillow because your favorite character just got fridged for someone else’s man pain. Or realizing you’ve read the same tired love triangle for the twelfth time this year. Or worse: you liked the villain more than…

  • ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️A knife-edged fairytale carved from bone, blood, and blistering sun. Callie Hart’s Quicksilver isn’t your typical romantasy. It doesn’t wear flower crowns or waltz through glittering courts. This story drags its claws through sand and snow, stitching magic and myth into something that feels both brutal and utterly alive. Saeris Fane is the kind of…
