🌸 spring 2025 tbr 🌸

the sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, and my bookshelf is silently judging me. again. so here’s my chaotic but well-intentioned spring tbr — a mix of fantasy, romance, and whatever else i panic-borrow from the library when life gets too serious.

🌷 the hopefuls:

books i really want to read and will definitely romanticize on instagram before actually opening

• Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross
  → war-torn romance + magical typewriters?? i already know i’m going to cry.

• An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson
  → ready to fall for a morally questionable fae lord. i have a type.

• The Midnight Library by Matt Haig
  → philosophical multiverse chaos with a side of seasonal crisis. perfect.

• The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern
  → dreamy, bookish, and probably confusing. i’m so here for it.

🌦 the april lineup (so far, more to come):

books on deck for moody spring showers and post-work cozies

• Weather Girl by Rachel Lynn Solomon
  → depressed sunshine + secretly sweet weatherman = emotional damage incoming.

• People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry
  → it’s time. friends-to-lovers with emotional baggage? sign me up.

• The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
  → everyone says it’s wholesome and magical and i’m emotionally available for that.

🍃 the wildcards:

aka books i might read on a whim at 2am and then spiral about for three weeks

• Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Faeries by Heather Fawcett
  → cozy academia + folklore + a grumpy fae love interest?? yes please.

• A River Enchanted by Rebecca Ross
  → scottish-inspired fantasy with enemies-to-lovers tension?? say less.

• Funny You Should Ask by Elissa Sussman
  → journalist + celebrity ex = the romcom chaos i crave.

📚 honorable mentions:
whatever shows up in a used bookstore bin, a random kindle deal, or a moment of weakness on booktok.

1. The Witch Haven by Sasha Peyton Smith
   secret magical school + 1911 new york = witchy feminist chaos

2. Half a Soul by Olivia Atwater
   regency fae fantasy that feels like drinking tea while judging people

3. The Cheat Sheet by Sarah Adams
   best friends, fake dating, and a cinnamon roll football player

4. Spells for Forgetting by Adrienne Young
   coastal small-town secrets + slow-burn witchy romance = yes please

5. Better Than the Movies by Lynn Painter
   high school rom-com perfection with all the warm fuzzies

💐 what’s on your spring tbr?
help me decide what to read first! or send me vibes for emotional stability. either works.
