The House on the Cerulean Sea is a book that's been on my radar for a very long time. Following a lot of people who talk books, this is one that has been doing the rounds for quite some time. So when one of my followers on Tik Tok very kindly sent this to me via my Amazon wish list, I was incredibly excited to quickly jump into it and see what all the hype was about.

Lauren Roberts' first book Powerless was a bit of a TikTok sensation - it came about just as romantasy was becoming a very popular genre. Reckless, for many, is the much-awaited sequel. I suggested Powerless sat in between the other two big hitters - ACATOR and Fourth Wing, but how does Reckless compare? Does it live up to the initial hype of the first book or not?

I’m a huge fan of fantasy but I’ve never read a “cosy fantasy” before (as far as I’m aware anyway) so when people kept telling me that Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree was such, it intrigued me as to what this exactly meant. Now I know. And I’m a huge fan. Please note that this article contains affiliate links.

Godkiller is the debut fantasy novel from Hannah Kaner and one that I'd seen doing the rounds across a lot of social media platforms before deciding to pic it up. The fact it was only £5 (about $6.50) in my local supermarket was also another reason I picked it up if I'm being honest! Please note that this article contains affiliate links.

As Brandon Sanderson’s name once again becomes one of the biggest in books as the launch of his fifth and final book (of this part anyway) in his Stormlight Archive comes out later this year, I knew I wanted to dive back into his writing and so after telling everyone to read the Mistborn trilogy realising I’d never actually finished it, I picked up The Well of Ascension.

The Book That Wouldn't Burn is a book I picked up after a lot of people were hyping it up when they saw it during my TikTok Lives. Mark Lawrence is an author I've seen a lot of and have been interested in picking up for quite some time so I was excited to get into The Book That Wouldn't Burn - especially knowing it had a sequel too (love a series).

Sometimes when you're reading books and decide what to pick up next, you're just wonderfully surprised by how genuinely enjoyable a book is. Iron Widow was exactly this for me. I'd just read a whole bunch of down-to-earth thrillers and so to go jump into a book about gigantic mecha-bots controlled by human's "Qi" fighting off aliens was so bloody fun!
