Candy Book

​

A book read solely for enjoyment that has a simple plot and guaranteed happily-ever-after. These books are like candy: short, sweet for the sake of being sweet, and they bring happiness at the time of consumption. Most short romances fall into this category.

Cozy Read

​

A close cousin to the candy book, cozy reads are more focused on characterization and have deeper themes, and they can be darkly whimsical or comforting without a romance. These are the sort of books you can read with a hot drink as you get whisked away to an enchanting setting. Cozy reads range from comfy fantasy romances or mysteries to fairytales and dark academia, so long as they leave one feeling...cozy.

Emotional Read

​

These books are character-driven emotional rollercoasters meant to explore human complexities, questions about life and love, and emotions in general. Or maybe the author just wants us to have a good cry and we got suckered in.

Epic Read

​

Buckle up, buttercup, because things are about to get epic. Epic reads contain a layered plot, three-dimensional characters with rounded arcs, believable world-building, and action/adventure with perhaps some romance or mystery thrown in. Here you'll find epic fantasies, action adventures, and any other book that has readers speeding through pages.

 Hilarious Read 

​

Satire? Funny comics? Romantic comedies that are heavier on laughs than a candy book? It all goes here. Plot and characters may range in complexity, but if the biggest takeaway from the book was that you could not stop laughing, it's a hilarious read.

Spooky Read

​

From old folktales that leave you chilled to modern horrors that make you want to sleep with the lights on, if it left you afraid of the dark or more unsettled than comforted, then it's a spooky read.
