Would you recommend your favorite fantasy with steamy and incredible romances????

I’m dying for recommendations 🥺

Hey nonnie!! I am not one who likes to read a lot of explicit smut scenes, but the romances are HOT. And there is steamy smut but they’re not overly explicit?? They focus more on the emotions and feels.

Foolish Kingdoms by Natalia Jaster. You can find the series (Trick, Dare, Lie, Dream) on Kindle Unlimited for free if you have KU. I will always always always recommend this series above everything else. Trick and Dream are my comfort read, they’re all enemies-to-lovers. Each book centers around a different couple; however you HAVE to read Dream for everyone’s happy happy ever after 😌

Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi. I’ve only read the first trilogy because of all the negative reviews about the second half. Warnette does have a happy-ever-after at the end of both trilogies though.

The PAN trilogy by Jenny Hickman. It’s a modern Peter Pan retelling and you can also find these books for free on KU. The last book doesn’t come out until July, but I was lucky to snag an eARC and can confirm a happy-ever-after for the main couple.

We Hunt the Flame duology by Hafsah Faizal. No smut but there’s definitely some steam ;)

Caraval trilogy by Stephanie Garber. No smut but again the chemistry is more than enough.

The Invisible Life of Addie Larue by Victoria Schwab. AddieLuc is my other comfort ship

Splintered series by AG Howard. It’s an Alice in Wonderland retelling with a love triangle from hell but MOPRHEUS. That’s all I’m saying. There’s no smut in this but his mouth is explicit enough 🥵 😉

Granted this isn’t everything I have to rec, but they’re all complete and my favorites. 🖤

#book recs #ask #also I would add ‘captive prince’ trilogy since the romance is incredible and my favorite trilogy by far #BUT it’s very trigger heavy and I’d only recommend it if you feel comfortable with darker topics

i don’t know who exactly created this tag but i wanted to thank @arywizm for being the one who happened to make me aware of it since it does seem cool.

book tag:

- how many books are too many books in a series?

my recent two favorite series (the skybound saga by alex london + the timekeeper trilogy by tara sim) both consist of just three books, which works pretty well for me.

but then there’s also the raven cycle series by maggie stiefvater, which consists of four books (+ an additional short story). with each book that i read, i fell deeper and deeper in love with this world the author built so i can’t forget that.

with that in mind, if i do the math, the maximum is five books. any more than that is overkill.

- how do you feel about cliffhangers?

they’re amazing.

ex: “chainbreaker (timekeeper, #2)” by tara sim.

- hardback or paperback?

some hardbacks come with a special design underneath the printed cover depending where you order them from (ex: “cemetery boys” by aiden thomas) so it is really cool to see that, plus the feeling of holding a hardcover book in my hands is immaculate.

however, paperbacks are better.

my copy of “white rabbit” by caleb roehrig proves it. it’s so floppy and brilliant, i can’t get enough of it.

- least favorite book?

“the unfortunate importance of beauty” by amanda filipacchi. it is the first (and hopefully last) book i ever gave a 1-star rating on goodreads.

- love triangles, yes or no?

i feel mostly meh about them because i just don’t care. i would prefer if there not be one because then there’d be less relationship drama but it could sometimes be fun seeing how readers are at such opposite sides when it comes to the ships.

(ex: addie & luc vs. addie & henry from “the invisible life of addie larue” by v.e. schwab. it’s not much of a love triangle but it’s close enough, i guess you can say).

i personally love addieluc.

- the most recent book you just couldn’t finish?

i tried giving “the inheritance games” by jennifer lynn barnes a second try over a month ago but i just couldn’t get into it.

if it was an adult, or even new adult (everyone in the online book community knows how many more books we need under the 18-22 age bracket), the story probably would work better, in my opinion, because it being in the young adult category just makes the writing feel off to me.

- a book you’re currently reading?

there’s two: “the weight of the stars” by k. ancrum + “china room” by sunjeev sahota.

- last book you recommended to someone?

“vicious” by v.e. schwab to a close friend of mine. i raved to him about eli ever and he found the premise really interesting so fingers crossed 🤞🏽

i have a bad habit of recommending books to non-readers but i genuinely can’t help it when i know the book in question would just be absolutely perfect for them.

like, i recommended aftg to this same friend a long while ago and it’s become so incredibly important to him, especially the character andrew, so that’s just a little fact that matters a lot to me.

- oldest book you’ve read?

“we have always lived in the castle” by shirley jackson (first published: 1962).

- newest book you’ve read?

it technically hasn’t even come out yet but it was my book of the month pick for august so it was an early release: “the heart principle (the kiss quotient, #3)” by helen hoang; it’s set to be published on august 30.

note: it can be read as a standalone.

- favorite author?

adam silvera was the first author i ever considered my favorite and he still is. but there’s also olivie blake.

- buying books or borrowing books?

i love that feeling of adding books to my personal collection but 9/10 of the time, i prefer borrowing them first so that i know for sure i want to own them for myself.

- a book you dislike that everyone else seems to love?

i don’t necessarily dislike it but i didn’t care too much about it: “the mark of athena (heroes of olympus, #3)” by rick riordan.

it was my least favorite of the series, although, “blood of olympus (heroes of olympus, #5)” was slightly disappointing, but only just because of how rushed the ending felt.

- bookmarks or dog-ears?

bookmarks!! there’s these charm ones i buy off of etsy and they’re really cute.

- a book you can always reread?

“autoboyography” by christina lauren; i originally answered this one with “masters of death” by olivie blake because it has become a huge comfort book of mine in the last couple of weeks but then someone by michael schulte just popped up in my shuffle and my mind changed.

the song’s always reminded me of sebastian & tanner from “autoboyography” so i couldn’t help including them in this tag because they mean a lot to me.

- can you read while listening to music?

i just listened to the entirety of taylor swift’s “red (deluxe)” album while reading “it ends with us” by colleen hoover so……yes.

- one pov or multiple povs?

multiple!! i especially love it when authors include the perspectives of some minor characters since personally, i think it adds more depth to the story (ex: the skybound saga by alex london).

a booktuber complained about this in “the jasmine throne” by tasha suri but it just made me that much more excited to read the author’s new adult fantasy.

- do you read a book in one sitting or over multiple days?

depends on the book, really.

i read the entirety of “firestarter (timekeeper, #3)” by tara sim all while laying in bed with very few social media breaks in between.

on the flip side, it took me over a couple weeks to finish “these violent delights” by chloe gong.

- who do you tag?

i wasn’t tagged to do this, it was just something i thought could be fun and it was. i hope maybe there’s any titles that stuck out to anyone who comes across this, reader or not, since i do believe that there’s always a book out there for everyone.

if this is something that could be fun for you, i tag: @tawmlinsun @kritiquer @flying-elliska @dreamingoftinystars and @minyardss

“I am tired of trying to hold things together that cannot be held. Trying to control what cannot be controlled. I am tired of denying myself what I want for fear of breaking things I cannot fix. They will break no matter what we do”. . ↠q: what are your unpopular book opinions? ↠a: 1. I didn't really care for Sam from Throne of Glass. Don't get me wrong, his and Celaena'a story is sad, but he was already dead in ToG, so it didn't make any difference to me 😬 2. The Grisha Trilogy is amazing and I don't understand why it gets so much hate. 3. AddieHenry >>> AddieLuc 4. I think Feyre's character development sort of stopped after acomaf and in the next two books she was just there... 5. Even though I like Tessa and Jem's family dynamic in TDA, I didn't ship them at all in TID. I just didn't see it... 6. Zoya was a bitch for no reason to Alina in the Grisha Trilogy, but she had an amazing character development in King of Scars. ↠ Hello people! I hope you are all doing okay today♥️ The idea for today's question has been on my mind for a while now, so I decided to do it today, not only because I wanted to express my unpopular opinions, but also because I'm curious as to what yours are. I've also have had some creative ideas as far as pictures are concerned, so let's hope I actually have the time to do this. Now, as far as reading goes, I have 90 pages left to finish Call me by your name, and like when I was reading Addie Larue, I feel both sad and comforted. .
