Welcome to the books currently taking over my nightstand, my brain, and my group chats. Here’s what I’m reading right now:
Dark Romance
Lights Out by Navessa Jones
Intense, obsessive, and not here to play nice. This one leans darker, with high emotional stakes and tension that feels almost claustrophobic in the best way. Definitely not a “light and fluffy” read, but if you love morally gray energy, this is that.

Literary Fiction
Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones
Inspired by my recent viewing of the film adaptation, Pillion, I picked this up wanting to dive deeper into the story behind the screen. Have only just begun with this one but I think I won’t be putting it down once I start.

spicy Romance
Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid
Tension? Off the charts. Chemistry? Immediate. This rivals-to-lovers sports romance is delivering angst, banter, and the kind of slow-burn dynamic that keeps me turning pages way too late at night. Definitely was inspired by the hit tv show and I’m not even ashamed, because this is scratching the part of my brain that would stay up late reading fanfics in high school. Even though I kind of know the story, it’s quite fun to compare how the book differs from the story on screen.

Mystery / Thriller
The Anatomy of an Alibi by Ashley Elston
Secrets, shifting narratives, and the kind of tension that makes you suspicious of literally everyone. I’m deep in theory mode with this one — and my suspect list is constantly changing.
