If The Mummy II is a nostalgic favorite, you will most like love this duology.

If portal fantasies are one of your favorite subgenre of fantasy reads, and you love time travel, and a slowburn romance subplot, this might be the perfect book for you.

I was so happy to be back in the world of the Winter Sea trilogy with this second installment, Black Tide Son by H.M. Long.

I almost hurled this book across the room when I finished it, I was that upset, but then I read the epilogue, and Adalyn Grace redeemed herself.

Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones is one of those books I’ve been embarrassed I haven’t read yet. I somehow missed reading it as a child.

You know that feeling when you’re a little scared to pick up the last book in a beloved series? It’s a tumble of emotions. You don’t want it to end, you’re excited, but worried—what if it lets you down?!

If dark and unhinged, but excellently written is your vibe, and you love fairytale retellings, then A Sorceress Comes to Call by T. Kingfisher might be for you.

I was sold the second I found out For She is Wrath by Emily Varga was a fantasy retelling of one of my favorite classics, The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.

You know when you start a book and within the first few pages, you have a gut feeling it’s going to be a five star (or at least close to) read? That’s immediately how I felt when I started, A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman.

Sci-fi sometimes gets a bad rep, with people saying it’s too complicated or technical and boring. And yes, there are absolutely some that fit those descriptions, but I do think there’s some great starter sci-fi out there for those looking to get into the genre.

I don’t know why this makes sense, but if Pride & Prejudice, and Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell had a book baby, it would be Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater.

Why did I wait so long to read this sequel to The Way of Kings?! It's truly a masterpiece and here's why.

You might absolutely love Vampires of El Norte by Isabel Cañas if you were a fan of...

This book is not going to be for everyone. It moves at a much more languid pace than what the average reader might prefer However, I loved it.

If you’ve been looking to expand your reads to settings outside the western world and culture, Masquerade by O.O. Sangoyomi is a great place to start.

I get why Booktok and Bookstagram are going feral for When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker. On the surface, it’s got it all: dragons, elemental magic, a high fantasy setting, a badass FMC with a tragic, mysterious past, and a broody, protective love interest. Sounds perfect, right?

We’ve all picked up a book because of a gorgeous cover. But it’s always a treat when the actual story matches the gorgeous exterior. It’s been a while since a book has captured the same feeling of tragic romanticism like that of The Night Circus.

For the second year in a row (I’m calling it now), Red Tower Books has published the fantasy/romantasy read of the summer.

I almost DNF’d this one, but I’m glad I stuck with it. I think. For some reason, this book, while not being very lengthy, took me forever to finish.

After some mediocre reads this month while attempting to whittle my physical TBR down, I’ve been desperate for a solid read. Do not be fooled by the creepy cover, because Bonesmith by Nicki Pau Preto was just that.
