10 adult books on my radar: contemporary & fantasy
London Belongs to Me, Jacquelyn Middleton
It’s about Alex, a recent college graduate from Tallahassee, Florida who is starting a life-changing trans-Atlantic journey to London! It’s so refreshing to see a story about what happens when you graduate from college, all the insecurites and questions about your place in the world. I’m so in!

The Hating Game, Sally Thorne
A romance in the work place? Yes please! Ennemies-to-lovers trope? Yes please! This witty chick-lit romance sounds right up my alley! Trapped in a shared office together more than 40 hours a week, Lucy and Joshua love to compete for anything, especially for that new huge promotion!

A rom-com set in the drama-filled world of telenovelas? Perfect for fans of Jane the Virgin? Gosh, I need this one now! With their careers on the line, Jasmine and Ashton agree to work overtime in private. But soon rehearsal leads to kissing, and kissing leads to a secret romance worthy of a soap opera…

Circe, Madeline Miller
My knowledge of Greek Mythology is quite slim and I don’t think I ever read any book revolving around it but this one is really calling out to me. Circe posess the power of witchcraft. Threatened, Zeus decides to banish her to a deserted island. But there is danger there too… To protect what she loves, she must make a choice: does she belongs with the gods she is born from, or the mortals she has come to love?

Q, Christina Dalcher
In a country where everything is about perfection, everyone must undergo routine tests for their quotient and any children who don’t measure up are placed into new government schools. When one of Elena’s daughters scores lower than expected, she intentionally fails her own test to go with her. And what she discovers is far more terrifying than she ever imagined… It’s dystopia and… well, I NEEDED IT LIKE YESTERDAY!

The Future Is Yours, Dan Frey
If you had the chance to look one year into the future, would you? For Ben and Adhi, the answer is unequivocally yes. The two best friends create a computer that connects to the internet one year from now. But the future their device foretells is not the bright one they imagined… Told through emails, texts and transcripts, this thriller is definitely going to keep me on the edge of my seat!

Every book provides a chance to try another life you could have lived to see how things would be if you had made other choices… Which life will Nora choose for herself?
Ugh, so enchanting! I want to read this now!

I read the Bromance Book Club and … it wasn’t great. From what I hear, the sequels are much better, but I was just majorly frustrated with the main characters, despite the premise actually sounding very fun.
Oh that’s too bad! 🙁🙁
💞✨
London Belongs to me is really good! And The Hating Game is one of a kind💕 Flat Share is good too, but it’s unnecessarily long(my opinion only)
Thank you so much for your feedback, I can’t wait to read them all 🤗🤗
I read three of these and liked them all (The Flatshare, The Hating Game, Bromance). Bromance was my favorite of the three, but all were good. I think the hype got to me on The Hating Game, and it didn’t meet my expectations (4/5).
Great! I can’t wait to read them 🤗🤗
That’s too bad, sometimes the hype really doesn’t help 😅
Thank you so much for stopping by 😘
I absolutely loved Circe, it’s such a beautifully written novel. The writing is lyrical but not flowery, and the story is complex. It’s also very well researched.
Awesome! That makes me want to read it even more now 😁
Thank you for stopping by 😘😘
I hope you enjoy Circe, I absolutely love it but I know it’s one not everyone likes! I’m interested in The Midnight Library too 😊
Thank you! 😊
Yaaaay, it sounds so promising 🤗🤗
What a great list! Definitely have The Hating Game, You Had me At Hola, Circe and the Bromance Bookclub on my radar too! I hope all of these live up to your expectations! 🥰
Thank you! 😊
Yaaaaay 🤗🤗
That’s so sweet, thanks! 😘
So many good books in this list! I’ve read about half of them and yes, they deserve to be on your radar!
Yaaaay, I’m even more excited to read them now! 😁
Thanks for stopping by 😘😘
I have The Bromance Book Club and need to read it soon. I also want to read The Midnight Library.

Awesome post, Nyx!
That makes me want to read it even more now 😁😁
Thank you so much! 😘
i haven’t read any of these, but i have a few on my tbr! i really want to read circe, especially because i love books about greek mythology, and the midnight library looks incredible!
although i personally don’t really want to read it, i’ve heard a lot of amazing things about the hating game! this is such a great list 💖
Yeees, Circe and The Midnight Library both sound so promising 😍
Great! That makes me want to read it even more now 😁
Thank you so so much! 😘😘
Circe is also on my TBR. Some adult books I’ve enjoyed are The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo, The Round House by Louise Erdrich, and Uprooted by Naomi Novik.
Yaay! 😊
Awesome, thanks!! I’m going to check them out 😁
The Bromance Book Club and You Had me at Hola are on my radar too.
Yaaay, they sound so good 😍😍
Thank you for stopping by! 😘
Omg Nyx, ADORE YOUR LIST AHHH!!! Need to get to a couple of them too, especially excited about The Midnight Library, Circe (and Song of Achilles), You Had Me At Hola and also Bromance Book Club. They all sound so good.
The only ones I’ve read off your list are The Hating Game which… um sucks. So lowkey want to tell you to not go through that pain because I hated it. Vomit tbh. It super offensive and not as good as everyone says. I had high hopes but seriously disliked it.
However I have also read The Flatshare which is BRILLIANT and highly, highly recommend that one <3<3
AWW thank you so much!! I’m so happy you liked it ☺️☺️
YEEES, I’m so excited about them 🤗
Oh that’s really too bad! But I really appreciate the heads up, thank you!!
Yaaaay, even more excited to read that one now 😁
There are a few of these that I have heard of or have read already, but I had never heard of London Belongs to Me or Q, and they both sound so good! Great list xxx

Yaaay, always happy to help make your TBR grow 😁
Thank you!! 😘
I read Q (It’s called Master Class here, which is so weird that it is so different!) and I REALLY liked iT! (And this was after being a bit disappointed by the author’s debut) so I think you’ll enjoy it too! The Midnight Library and The Future is Yours are both on my must-read list, so I hope we both love them!
Oh, Master Class? That IS weird, haha! Awesome!! I’m even more excited to read it now 😍😍
Yaaaay 🤗
Thanks for stopping by and happy reading! 😘😘
Circe is one I’m so excited to read, especially since I loved The Song of Achilles so much. Greek mythology is always a good selling point for me haha.
I’ve seen so much hype for The Bromance Book Club I’m scared I’ll be disappointed, but You Had me at Hola sounds like a dream.
Awesome!! I can’t wait to get into it 🤗
Yeah, the hype can disappoint 😞
YEEES 😍😍
Thank you so much for stopping by, happy reading! 😘😘
The Betrayal looks so pretty! I have a copy of The Binding which I’m yet to read 😊 I also need to read Circe and The Song of Achilles but I’m scared it’s gonna hurt a lot!
Right?! 😍
Awesome!!
Haha, same here 🙈
Thank you so much for stopping by, happy reading! 😘😘
I have quite a few of these on my TBR as well! And I’m especially excited for You Had Me At Hola 😍
Also omg I’m currently reading The Midnight Library and it’s SO good I’m literally highlighting the entire book 😂
Oh YEEES, it sounds amazing 😍
Awesome!! That makes me want to read it even more now 🤗🤗
Thanks for stopping by and happy reading! 😘
Circe and Bromance Book Club are amazing; I’m the 1% that wasn’t head-over-heels in love with The Hating Game.
Yaaay, can’t wait to read them both! 😁
Oh that’s too bad 😕
Thank you so much for stopping by 😘😘
You Had Me at Hola is pretty high on my radar too 👀 I’m currently in the mood for adult romance, and this book just sounds so. damn. good. Might cave in and get the ebook soon haha
Yaaaay, it just sounds SO good 😍😍
Thanks for stopping by and happy reading! 😘
This is such a great list!! I recently read You Had Me At Hola and The Bromance Book Club and they were incredible!! Circe was really enjoyable too, though a bit slow. I hope you enjoy all of them!! 🥰
Thank you! ☺️
Yaaay, that makes me want to read them even more now 😁😁

I don’t read many adult books anymore, but Bromance Book Club caught my eye and I ended up winning a copy—I definitely want to read that one!
Awesome!! Hope we’ll enjoy it 😁
Thank you for stopping by! 😘😘
I hope you love them! I kind of want to read Circe too. I’ve been hesitant because I don’t know anything about mythology.
Thank you! 😁
Yeah, same here! But I really want to give it a try 😊
Thank you so much for stopping by, happy reading 😘😘
