10 BookTok Romantasy Reads To Read Right Now
If you're into…
1. From Blood and Ash by Jennifer L. Armentrout
✨ "Nothing is ever simple when the gods are watching." ✨This is the book that launched a thousand obsessions. Poppy is a badass heroine sworn to a sacred destiny, until a smirking golden-eyed guard ruins everything. Expect: deadly secrets, enemies-to-lovers tension, and one hell of a plot twist. Perfect for fans of steamy slow-burns and morally gray men.
2. A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
🧚 Beauty and the Beast meets 1000+ fan theories and wingspans. 🧚If you're on BookTok, you know that this is just the start of everyone's romantasy journey. Feyre is a mortal huntress dragged into the fae lands, and that's just the beginning. This series has everything: epic romance, ancient curses, court politics, and "the mating bond." Once you meet Rhysand, it's over for you.(Honestly, anything written by Sarah J. Maas will become an obsession and key part of your personality...I don't make the rules. 🤷♀️)
3. Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
🐉 Think Hunger Games meets spicy dragon school. 🐉If you've ever wanted to ride dragons while navigating deadly exams, secret powers, and off-limits lovers, this is your book. Violet may not be physically built like a warrior, but she's no damsel, and her enemies? Yeah, they might be her only shot at surviving.
4. The Bridge Kingdom by Danielle L. Jensen
🗡️ A princess assassin forced to marry the enemy king. What could go wrong? 🗡️This one is for the "stab him, then kiss him" folks. Lara is trained to destroy the man she's forced to marry, but the longer she spends with him, the more she questions everything. Expect slow-burn, political intrigue, and intense emotional payoff.
5. Radiance by Grace Draven
👑 An arranged marriage between a human and a monstrous fae prince…with zero insta-love. 👑This underrated gem is soft, slow, and swoony. Ildiko and Brishen aren't beautiful (or even really nice) to each other...at first. But their respect, banter, and trust build one of the most wholesome (and still hot!) love stories in romantasy.
6. Serpent and Dove by Shelby Mahurin
🧙♀️ A witch and a witch hunter are forced to marry. Cue the chaos. 🧙♀️Lou is chaotic and sassy; Reid is stiff and serious. Watching them clash (and then burn) is half the fun. If you like morally complex worlds with forbidden romance, magic, and cinnamon-roll-turned-problematic men, grab this.
7. The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
🖤 Welcome to Elfhame, where lies are currency and love is war. 🖤 Jude Duarte is a human raised in the cruel fae court, and she's out for power. Cardan is the arrogant, hateful prince who can't stop watching her. It's toxic. It's soooo BookTok. And it's...tails.
8. The Savage Lands series by Stacey Marie Brown
🌶️ If you like the ACOTAR vibe but grittier and steamier, this one's for you. 🌶️It's set in a post-war world where fae rule and humans are barely surviving. Brexley (yes, icon name) is thrown into a deadly prison where survival means making alliances, especially with the dangerously beautiful fae warrior who might be her enemy…or her only shot at freedom.
9. The Crowns of Nyaxia series by Carissa Broadbent
🧛♀️ Hunger Games meets vampire court meets epic love story. 🧛♀️ (Clearly, I love the Hunger Games a bit too much.) Oraya is a human adopted by the vampire god of death, and now she has to fight to survive the Kejari, a brutal tournament full of monsters, politics, and betrayal. Enter: a mysterious rival with secrets and sharp teeth. The tension? Unmatched.
10. The Married to Magic series by Elise Kova
🧝♂️ Fantasy marriage of convenience, soft cinnamon roll magic warrior elf king, and cozy romance vibes. 🧝♂️Each book in this series is a standalone with a fresh couple and setting, but they're all connected by a magical world and super romantic plots. In A Deal With the Elf King, a human girl is taken to the fae realm as the next "Human Queen," and her icy elf king husband is not ready to fall in love…until he very much does.
BONUS: If You're Craving Something Spicier…

29 Random Products From Etsy That Will Make Your Life A Little Cuter
A plant-inspired fidget toy that'll be the missing piece to your workstation — it'll double as decor *and* a way to keep your fingers busy when you're trying to think through the perfect way to sign off on the rather lengthy email you just typed. Huarache sandals you can count on to put a little pep in your step even if you're on your way to somewhere not-so-fun like the dentist — your tootsies will look cuter than ever! A ribbon bookmark that'll have you tossing your Kindle aside so you can show off this coquettish beauty in a physical book. Can't you imagine Belle from Beauty and the Beast accessorizing her novel of the day with one of these?! Or a bookmark book tracker that'll motivate you to actually settle down and read the novel your book club decided on for this month. After you finish a book you can add the title into the spine on the bookmark and color it in — adorable. This shop also offers other versions of the bookmark that are themed around zodiac signs! A baseball cap designed to let you rock your high pony — a must-have for anyone who always feels like they look a bit too much like George Washington when forced to pull their locks into a low pony. 😅 It also has built-in UPF 50 protection, making it ideal for running or hanging at the beach. A hand-pinched matcha bowl that might just convert you from an iced coffee–only drinker into a green tea guru. There's something so satisfying about literally whipping up a morning bev for yourself. A bee-proof and drip-free copper hummingbird feeder that'll have you whisper-singing "My nectar brings all the birds to the yaaaaard" while quietly admiring the gorgeous new feathered friends frequenting the new addition to your outdoor space. A 2-in-1 hair bun maker to help you craft a fabulous, flawless updo with minimal effort — perfect for anyone who tends to let their hair air dry (it works best when done on damp hair). Your new go-to look is about to be unBUNlievable! A coffee cup trinket dish with a hidden compartment to stash your precious jewels inside while *also* honoring your one true love: lattes. A motivational mug adorned with "Boss lady" and gorgeous florals with a vintage feel to 'em, aka the only thing you should drink your double shot latte from on a Monday morning while conquering your to-do list. A crocheted hanging plant to hang from your rearview mirror because we haven't yet figured out how to keep a plant alive in the car. This will do the trick until science catches up with our grand designs to always have flowers around. A stunning tulip candle made from natural beeswax — prepare for yelps of concern when your partner sees you approach this "flower" with a lighter; that's how realistic it looks! A squishy pufferfish stress-relief toy with the grumpiest of grumpy faces, you won't help but smile each time you reach for it. Let it be your workday companion — you can poke and squeeze it all throughout the many meetings you have during the day that could've been condensed into a quick email. A handmade ceramic fried egg spoon rest to pay tribute to your habit of having breakfast for dinner several times a week. Egg sandwiches at 6 p.m.? Sign me up, Chef! It's also dishwasher safe for easy cleaning (heck, yeah!). A wavy glass straw you can keep in your bag and break out when you get an impromptu iced coffee at that place you love that only carries paper straws. Do, we love saving plastic? Absolutely, but we don't love our straw falling apart in our $5 bev. Personalized stainless-steel bookends with a celestial vibe to them because your collection of books is out of this world. 😉 It'll also come in handy when you want to differentiate between YOUR copies of Twlight and your roommate's. A fan-favorite Highland cow plush that'll have anyone who visits your home squealing (mooing???) with delight. It's just so cuuuuute!!! A waterproof sticker of Snoopy chugging a glass of water to remind you to do the same — pop this beauty right onto your emotional support water bottle and take a sip every time you look its way. Your skin will be glowing in no time! Plus, a trendy sticker with a Y2K vibe to it — you'll need to buy two of them right from the start because your bestie/ partner in yap will want to steal it right off your laptop. A sun visor frame clip designed to fit the beloved photo of your dog you would typically stash in your wallet for safekeeping, except you've stopped carrying a wallet around now that you can pay with everything from your phone. Anyways! Add your fave mini photo into the frame, slide it into the visor clip, and enjoy having it along for every ride. And a Minifigure display vent clip you can use to bring your most treasured Lego Minifig wherever the road takes you — simply clip it into your car's air vent, attach the Lego, and hit the gas! Speaking of Lego... a teeny tiny widdle coffee machine made from Lego bricks that'll look so adorable on display at your desk or carefully placed inside the dream home you've been constructing for yourself out of, well, Lego! Magical fairy lights to transform your bedroom or backyard into the cozy cave you've always dreamt about. The crackling crystals paired with the larger glowing bulbs are much more enchanting than regular ol' string lights. A plush throw blanket with a Mickey Mouse twist to it that'll have haters turning into Disney Adults after just one snuggle. It has a chic double-sided print with reverse colors on the back! Just imagine how lovely this will look folded neatly across your bed (aka tossed in a crumpled mess as you drag yourself off the couch at 2 a.m.). Propagation vases you can mount directly on the wall for a unique upgrade to your home decor — why would you simply plop a plant on your end table when you could turn it into living art? A wildflower-covered Nintendo Switch JoyCon case for any self-proclaimed cozy gamer who would love nothing more than to zhuzh up their most-used gadget with something that feels more "them." A custom deck of playing cards with such a beautiful design you'll want to order them and then immediately invite your gang over for a poker night. Don't know any card games? Who cares! These will look gorgeous on your coffee table! A miniature mid-century modern LED fireplace for anyone who has always wanted one of these beauties after seeing them on an episode of Million Dollar Listing but doesn't quite have the space to install one just yet (keep that dream alive, my friends). And a splurge-worthy braided pet bed to transform the place Fido hangs out the most into modern home decor. Do you think they make adult sizes, because I would TOTALLY snuggle up in this bad boy for a nap.
