Recs if you like Into the Blue...

Hii, everyone ♡ I am a very big fan of the booktuber @caricanread so I thought I would make a list of all the books she has read this year! ✰

All the 2026 BOTM monthly, add on, and Allurial titles

This list features books with covers designed by New York-based, Houston-born designer Cassie Vu. She is a Senior Designer for Penguin Random House's art department. Her covers boast loud, bold lettering and striking colour gradients. Her website features a "cover graveyard", showcasing different iterations of covers that were ultimately chosen, which I highly recommend perusing.

books about actors, artists, dancers, musicians, writers, and other creatives

recs from a girl who loves books that simultaneously make her cry and heal her

romance releases i’m looking forward to

These men are so down bad, they’ll even wash the fmc’s hair with so much care and tenderness!🥹

The crown for this category goes to Bennett Reiner from Unbound by Peyton Corinne!

list inspired by olivia rodrigo’s new album🎀 includes love stories laced with a little melancholy ⋆✴︎˚｡⋆ (iykyk)

romances (and a couple genre-benders) about first love, especially those about childhood, teen, or college friends becoming more

Follows characters as they navigate missed timing and never fully committing to one another.

inspired by and to assist with the Rainbow of Words prompt for version 3.0 of the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do, pls find on this list books colours in the title.

costars and bandmates and scene partners, oh my!

or books that give me sadness tingles down to my fingers

the equivalent of when my sister says “maybe santa will bring it for christmas” to my niece

(all the books i picked up at the bookstore but couldn’t let myself buy)

Books Lexi specifically recommends; not an exhaustive list of all the books she's featured on her channel included anything she rated 4 stars and over only the first book in a series

by reese witherspoon

*not including YA picks

Stories containing a significant theme related to a genetic condition. To promote connection, awareness or just enjoyment of an impactful story. The list is for novels and memoirs, rather than pure science books.

Romances that make you WORK for the happy ending - something that feels too few and far between these days.
