Reading guides
Genre and trope guides built from books I've actually read and reviewed. No scraped bestseller lists — if a book is here, there's a full review behind it.
Romantasy books worth your time
Romantasy is romance plus fantasy where neither side is decoration. Every book below is one I've read and reviewed on this site, so there's a full review behind each pick.
Dark romance books, reviewed honestly
Dark romance is a genre where content warnings matter, so every book here has mine attached. These are all titles I've read and reviewed, not scraped from a bestseller list.
Enemies to lovers books that earn the turn
Half the books marketed as enemies to lovers are really mild-bickering to lovers. These are the ones where the animosity is real first, so the turn actually means something.
Books like ACOTAR
"What do I read after ACOTAR?" is the question I get most. The honest answer depends on what you loved — the fae politics, the slow-burn romance, or the found family. Here's a pick for each.
What to read after Fourth Wing
Fourth Wing leaves a very specific hole: dragons, a brutal academy, and a love interest who is a menace. Here's what fills it, matched to the bit you loved most.
Best book club books
A good book club book divides the room. These are the ones that got the most argument in our own monthly club, with the question that started it.

Frequently asked questions
- What are the reading guides?
- Curated lists that answer a specific reader question — books like ACOTAR, where to start a series, what to read next after a favourite — built from books Amy has actually read.
- Are the books in the guides ones you've read?
- Yes. Every pick links to Amy's own review so you can see the rating and the reasoning before you buy.
- How often are the guides updated?
- They're refreshed whenever Amy reads something that earns a place on the list, so the picks stay current rather than frozen.
- Can I order the books from a guide?
- Yes — any title in a guide can be ordered as a personalised package or added to a bundle of three.
