Forever favorites

Books & Series I’ll Never Stop Recommending

Popular doesn’t automatically mean all-time favorite. These are some of the stories that helped make me the reader I am.

Forever #1

The Shadowhunter Chronicles

Cassandra Clare

Cassie’s books have had my heart for years. A new Shadowhunter book still jumps ahead of almost anything else on my TBR.

The series that brought me back

Harry Potter

J.K. Rowling

Book releases, endless rereads, bedtime stories with my kids and movie premieres — this series became part of our family story.

Original obsession

Twilight

Stephenie Meyer

For a long time, Harry Potter and Twilight were the two series ruling my bookshelves.

Paranormal favorite

Dark Swan

Richelle Mead

Vampire Academy was great too, but Dark Swan is the Richelle Mead series I remember truly loving.

Longtime favorite

The Selection

Kiera Cass

Romance, competition, gorgeous dresses and dystopian drama — an easy forever recommendation from my shelves.

Addictive series

Black Dagger Brotherhood

J.R. Ward

Vampires, romance, brotherhood and a world that keeps expanding. Once you’re in, you’re committed.

Meet the reader behind Bookish Soul Vibes

Hi, I’m Cyn. 💜

My love for books started long before romantasy filled my shelves.

A lifetime between the pages.

In elementary school, I was a Goosebumps kid. Books were what I asked for on birthdays and Christmas. Through high school I mostly read for assignments — until, right after graduation, someone gifted me Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

I fell completely in love. I went to the book releases, reread every book while waiting for the next one, and years later shared that magic with my own kids through bedtime stories and movie premieres.

Then came Twilight. And then my husband bought me the paperback set of The Mortal Instruments — and I devoured it. Cassandra Clare’s Shadowhunter world became one of those fictional places that never really leaves you. I’ve met Cassie five times, sometimes traveling hours for her events, and a new Cassandra Clare book will still jump ahead of almost anything else on my TBR.

That love of fantasy led me to Richelle Mead, Holly Black, Kiera Cass, J.R. Ward and eventually the incredible fantasy and romantasy filling my shelves today.

Bookish Soul Vibes is for the books we’re obsessed with now — and the stories we’ve loved for twenty years.

Next ObsessionTwilight joined Harry Potter as one of my longtime favorites.
