Yes or No
Just a few books I’ve read this year that aren’t Sjm or late in a series 😌 feel free to ask questions! I’m happy to book yap. Currently reading Dire Bound and so far so good! But Lee calling Meryn “kitten” is a little cringe. Hoping he goes away once she’s off to enlist
*edit i guess onyx storm made it on here when i said none were late in a series lol not with my time and kinda sad about that

This year, my reading journey has focused on captivating contemporary romance and fantasy novels that blend high stakes, healing, and intriguing character dynamics. For fans of contemporary romance, books featuring themes such as fake dating, second chances, and family secrets offer rich, emotional storylines. Rebecca Yarros, a USA Today bestselling author, shines in this genre with unforgettable characters and magical elements, particularly notable in her Dragon series which includes 'Onyx Storm'. In fantasy, series like 'Shield of Sparrows' and works by Ava Reid deliver a compelling mix of supernatural and intense storytelling, filled with complex protagonists and atmospheric world-building. Although some books like 'Dire Bound' include moments that can feel a bit awkward, such as character Nicknames like "kitten," the overall story arcs tend to captivate with strong enlistment and adventure themes. Seasonal favorites such as 'The Pumpkin Spice Café' bring cozy, Gilmore Girls-esque charm that’s perfect for a fall read, blending love and comfort amidst the changing leaves. For those who enjoy emotional rollercoasters, books by Callie Hart and Devney Perry provide heartfelt dramatic tensions and deeply felt resolutions. Additionally, many of these selections are frequently recommended on platforms like #booktok and Lemon8’s #bookrecommendations tag, making them popular choices for readers seeking new obsessions. Whether you prefer a standalone sensitivity or a gripping series, this reading wrap-up offers something for everyone, helping you navigate through your next must-read list with honest, unfiltered feedback.
my favorite book is Suicide Notes by Michael Thomas Ford. It's maybe 14 plus? but I read it when I was 11 lol. it's a story about a teenage boy who goes through something and attempts, gets sent to a mental hospital and figures out he's gay. it's great.
