Books by Britt

Ashley wrote in for this week's Ask Britt. She's about to have her second daughter, her brain is in ten places at once, and she just needs someone to tell her what to read next. This week's mood-based book recommendations are for the reader whose brain needs something it can actually enjoy right now — Remarkably Bright Creatures by Shelby Van Pelt (literary fiction with an octopus narr...

I went into Assassin's Blade already knowing how it ends—that has been spoiled since Throne of Glass. Knowing what was coming didn't make it hurt any less. This week I'm reacting to Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas, the Throne of Glass prequel—five novellas following Celaena Sardothien before the events of book one. One devastating throughline with an ending that's going to ta...

Miriam wrote in for this week's Ask Britt. She just finished Yesteryear and wants a book she won't feel meh about. She'd rather be furious at a character than apathetic—she wants to feel like the read was worth it. This week's mood-based book recommendations: three literary fiction picks for the reader who wants to feel something. The God of the Woods by Liz Moore (a mystery that w...

Vridiana wrote in for this week's Ask Britt—mood-based book recommendations for the reader who wants to feel something. She wants a gripping thriller that hooks her from the premise and wrecks her a little. Three thriller recommendations, lightest to darkest: First Lie Wins by Ashley Elston (twisty and fast, all the fun of a thriller without the heaviness), The Guest List by Lucy Foley (atmosp...

I somehow avoided Throne of Glass spoilers for 14 years. I went into Crown of Midnight—book two of the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas—completely blind and I am still no closer to solving this love triangle between Celaena, Chaol, and Dorian. This week I'm reacting to Crown of Midnight: the moment everything fell apart, the betrayal I did not see coming, and the ending that made me won...

Abby just finished watching Off Campus and wants to know what to read next. She's already read Elle Kennedy and wants the same vibe: found family, banter, hockey romance. I've read 35+ hockey romances, so I feel well-qualified to answer this week's Ask Britt. I matched her to a series based on her favorite Off Campus character — four characters, four series, at least 20 books waiting f...

I somehow avoided Throne of Glass spoilers for 14 years. I went in completely blind on a friend's recommendation and was at the store buying Crown of Midnight before I finished book one. This week I'm reacting to Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas — book one of the Throne of Glass series. The competition that falls into the background, the court politics I was not prepared for, Celaena Sardo...

Elisa loved Xaden in Fourth Wing and couldn't find the same feeling anywhere else. She wants to be completely absorbed — love, tension, any genre. This week's Ask Britt mood-based book recommendations for the reader coming off a Fourth Wing hangover. I'm recommending A Shadow in the Ember by Jennifer L. Armentrout (a morally gray Primal of Death who is immediately, hopelessly down bad)...

One of the best books I've read in a long time and I've been recommending it to everyone. A reaction to Passion Project by London Sperry—a contemporary romance about grief, hope, and finding your way back to yourself. Henry is the love interest we all deserve, and the first line of this book had me immediately. If you loved a slow burn romance with real emotional depth, a New York City set...

Hunger Games meets The Bachelor—and it actually works. My reaction to Trial of the Sun Queen by Nisha J. Tuli, book one of the Artefacts of Ouranos series. A fantasy romance with competition trials, slow burn tension, a plot twist I did not see coming, and a love triangle that gets complicated fast. I downloaded book two before I finished recording this. Full spoilers. New episodes every week. Fol...
