It’s a new year which means new books and there are definitely some highly intriguing ones coming out that we at The Imaginarium are looking forward to reading.

We’re nearing to the end of 2023, how time has flown. Now it’s time to have a look at the books I’ve read and pick out the ones that I have absolutely adored (as you can see I am terrible at narrowing down my favourites so you have most if not all my favourites). I’m going to combine series I’ve read otherwise this will be an extremely long post. And if you didn’t know already most of these are fantasy reads, with a dash of other genres mixed in.

The season for wrapping up warm when you go out and curling up with lots of blankets and hot drinks is here and so are we with some highly recommended books that are perfect for reading during the cold season. Ranging from folklore fantasy and ice cold zombies to ice rink romance, I’m sure there will be something here for you.

For anyone who doesn’t know TBR is a bookish term, an abbreviation for To Be Read and TBR stress is a very real thing. As someone who doesn’t have a lot of self control, I usually have a decent sized stack of books that I need to read.

The Hurricane Wars is the first book in a new romantasy trilogy and I thoroughly enjoyed this book and while it wasn’t a Fourth Wing level of love, it was a solid 4 out of 5 stars for me.

For the first time, the Imaginarium Team are bringing you a a team review. Of course the book is a fantasy. You can’t expect anything less from two fantasy addicts, it is however a slightly different fantasy than you might expect. First of all, there are no dragons, hobbits, fae or anything of the sort. There are however, pirates, secret societies, flying houses and witty, Victorian banter with some Austen/Bronte references.

I have never given a series a full 5 star rating for every book…until now. The Nevernight Chronicle by Jay Kristoff has become the first series I have ever read that has had a 5 star rating for all three books in the series. But it’s finally happened.

For all the seasonal readers out there who like to match their books with the season, here are some amazing books you should pick up this coming autumn. Ranging from cute and cosy to dark and spooky, there is a book for all of you.

If you’re like me and have a serious book hangover after reading Fourth Wing then here are some books that might take your mind off the long wait until the second book arrives in November!

If you like dark and twisty mysteries then you definitely need to add this to your reading list! I will be recommending this one for a long time.

Here at The Imaginarium we have a range of books, that range is constantly changing as books come and go, new books are published and customers come back with some amazing recommendations. Here are some new books we’ve added recently and a few books that might not have caught your eye:
