All books of Fairyloot in 2026. This includes the subscribtions and the shop editions.

It took me way too long to realize that my favorite romance setting isn't "the beach"—it's specifically cold beach towns. Give me all the foggy harbors, rocky coastlines, seafood shacks, and ferry rides, and characters who need a jacket to walk on the beach.

If you love that cozy Atlantic coast aesthetic, these romances are set everywhere from the Maritime provinces (Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island) to the charming seaside towns of New England. Comment to add recs!

Magical realism romances

non-lit fic books that made my heart ache from how they perfectly captured some specific aspect of the grieving process in a way that deeply resonated w me (w/out being too depressing to cause actual emotional damage, hence the lack of lit fic)

books that discuss loss or losing a loved one

a non comprehensive list of books you should keep an eye on in 2026

Romance books coming out in 2026

books that feel like summertime; for when you need something light but with substance!! (I take and encourage recommendations!!)

Also known as The Bastone Effect (trademark pending lol) 😉 Promise Me Sunshine was one of the most recommended romances in 2025 and I believe it's because of the unique combination of love and grief. Here of some of my favorites. Recommendations are welcome in the comments but I will keep the list to ones I've read.

A list of books about or featuring growing gardens both magical and real.

Romance books I would recommend to anyone! I’m sure there’s lots of these lists out there, but as someone who reads about 100 romances a year, I thought I’d point out ones I love!

My picks for each month’s challenge ✨ For the patches!
