5 Romantasy Recommendations
Last year was definitely the rise of Romantasy. While I feel it’s been out a while, it saw a huge increase in popularity around 2020, but I feel like last year, everywhere I looked there was a new romantasy book. I personally love a romantasy, as fantasy is my all time favourite genre so to see some more romance focused fantasy books is amazing. Well, here are five of my favourite Romantasy titles/series. I have tried to keep away from the most popular ones: ACOTAR, From Blood and Ash and Fourth Wing, and try to feature some not so popular ones (or ones that were super popular before, but seem…

My Controversial Romance Book Views
Romance is one of the bestselling genres in fiction. And rightfully so… it’s an amazing genre to forget the real world for a little while and lose yourself in.
