Recs if you like Siege and Storm...

your 2016 book blog called it misses you

I recently realised I love all things maritime, especially in fiction. My favourite movies, museums, books, even childhood stories all contain pirates, outlaws and the sea! So I'm making a very loose list of books with this vibe as a guide for my self of past reads and TBRs! Please comment your recs!💕

All good things come in 3s

All of Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse books!

The complete grishaverse series’s in the correct order including novellas. The novellas aren’t required to read the main 3 series but are highly recommended and give greater insight into characters.

Stories of Shadow and Starlight

by Leigh Bardugo

A list of all the Grishaverse books by Leigh Bardugo

Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows!

Each year, for Chinese New Year, we do a rec list with books aligned to the Chinese zodiac animal for the year. Most of these books are queer, though often it's subtextual. We've done 3 lists so far: 2024, dragons; 2025, snakes; 2026, horses. Find all the recs for these lists here! (This list is presented by Duck Prints Press, the indie publisher focused on publishing queer art and stories by queer creators!)

books I would completely erase from my memory just to reread and experience again.

Literally just the grishaverse books (main)

Literally just the Grishaverse books

Fantasy, Romantasy, Whimsy, Magic.

Trilogies. Trilogies! A list full of trilogies. This has a collection of titles I'm interested in and some I've simply come across. To save you the trouble, I made sure to put all books in a trilogy in this list. Enjoy! 💐

After following the amazing antics of OfficialHellsBelles on Instagram, I have made a list of the books and authors mentioned.

Also read Jaysea Lynn’s For Whom the Belle Tolls! 💜

Updated note: several books are missing, but I requested them from the librarians. I also skipped all the Sarah J Maas books.

Books adapted to the small screen

series where the second book is so good it might lowkey be better than the first one
