message 51: by Becky (new)

Becky (beckyh96) | 1 comments Hi I’m Becky :)

My favourite genre is fantasy and always has been since I was a child.
My recent favourite reads are ACOTAR and Fourth wing.
2023 had me read some awesome books!

My current read is Dragonfall not heard much about it so I’ll see how it goes!

I don’t think I want any of my favourite books made into films because it won’t be as amazing as it was in my own head and I’m scared I’ll be disappointed
:(

Nadine | 1 comments Hi!
I'm Nadine from Germany.

I don't really have a favorite genre... I read almost everything fictional as long as it's entertaining and giving me a break from the real world ;-) Mostly it's fantasy or thrillers.

My favorite reads change often, but recently I really loved Fourth Wing and Iron Flame. I read the books in December and finished my "re-read" with the audio books in January, but I'm still stuck in this book world and I am still struggling to read other books.

Favorite fantasy element might be magic/magic powers. They would be nice to have in real life sometimes.

Currently reading Holly Jackson's A Good Girls Guide to Murder-Trilogy.

I can't really remember which book might have been my gateway into reading. Even before I could read myself my parents always read bedtime stories for me. If there was a gateway book, it might have been Michael Ende's The Neverending Story. The movie was released when I was about 10 and I read the book shortly after that. I guess that was the first time I wanted to live in a story world...

Regarding books being turned into movies/shows I am always a bit sceptical. Definitely team "I want to read the book first" :D But I am looking forward to season 2 of The Sandman.

message 55: by Jo (new)

Jo | 2 comments Hello all, I am Jo - from Scotland!!

Here because I can't stop thinking about Fourth Wing and Iron Flame and I have no one to talk about them with!!

- Favorite Genre
YA, fantasy and Sci-fy but I will give anything a go.

- Favorite Read
It's tricky, currently obsessed with Iron Flame, but recently read Kingdom of Ash (Throne of Glass series) and it was devastatingly heart breaking! Court of Mist and Fury is a big favourite too... I can't pick!

- Favorite Fantasy Element
Love power elements, whether it's born or taught. Having powers would be so cool!

- Current Read
Currently re-reading The Folk of Air trilogy by Holly Black, it's been about 4 years so I am prepping for the new one.

- Book that acted as your gateway into becoming a reader
Has to be Harry Potter, was read it at school by a teacher and it's the series that just stuck with me.

- Book you most want to see made into a film or television show
Struggle with this question as so many of my favourite books have been adapted for tv/films and they've just been ruined! However some have been amazing, the Shadowhunters TV show and His Dark Materials were brilliant. So if I knew they were going to do them well I would say the ACOTAR series or Fourth Wing. I know they are possible but they have to get them right!

Looking forward to chatting with you all, sharing theories and book recommendations. I am quite new at the spicy romantasy books!


message 56: by Tomi (new)

Tomi Cordz | 1 comments Hi! my name is Tomi I’m 22.
My favorite genre is fantasy, i hardly ever read anything else but i’m not opposed to other genres.
my favorite read is priory of the orange tree by samantha shannon
my favorite fantasy element is dragons!!!
I am currently reading ACOTAR
The percy jackson series definitely was my gateway into actual reading, i read before that but that’s when it truly turned into a hobby.
I’d love to see the licanius trilogy turned into a show or movie. I recently finished it and it was so epic i’d love to see it come to life though it would be tough to match the books that’s for sure

message 58: by Mitsuki (new)

Mitsuki | 1 comments Hiii!! My name is Mitsuki, nice to meet ya all^^ My favorite genre is dark fantasy, enemies to lovers, romantasy and ya. My absolut favorite read was the folk of the air series. I‘m still obsessed with those books and the characters. I’m currently reading fourth wing and the stolen heir and i already love the fourth wing and can’t stop reading but i‘m a slow reader so yeah it takes some time to get through it. The book that acted like a gateway into becoming a reader was the cruel prince which was recommended from my best friend to me cuz she was obsessed with cardan and knew i would be too. And a book i most want to see made into film or television show is fourth wing. Hope y’all are having a good day or night rn^^


message 59: by Seline (new)

Seline Frijhoff | 1 comments Hi, I'm Seline
my favorite genres are fantasy and YA. I definitely obsess over book characters way to much. My favorite book series is definitely throne of glass, loved it, maybe almost died when certain characters died. I obviously loved fourth wing as well, I may have also died when SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! liam died. fourth wing was one of my first romantasy books, and I loved it so much I think I might read more romantasy from now on. I'm currently reading a queen comes to power and so far I really like it.
I'm here because I loved fourth wing and I'm new to goodreads. Hope everyone has a good day/night.


message 60: by Chasie 🦋 (new)

Chasie 🦋 | 25 comments Hi! My name is Chasie and my favorite genres are Romantacy and Dark Romance.

Favorite Read:
— i’m a huge fan of The Empyrean & acotar/ToG series, so my favorites (i reread a lot) are Iron Flame and ACOMAF 🩵

CR:
— Famine (Four Horsemen series)

Book that acted as my gateway into becoming a reader:
—maybe it was the Grishaverse? the box set of the trilogy+crows duology was the first thing i ever bought for myself <3

A book I most want to see adaption on screen:
— i’m ngl i get anxious with book-to-screen adaptions bc they almost never get everything right but - hypothetically if it were to be done with justice- i’d LOVE to see Fourth Wing, Serpent and the Wings of Night, One Dark Window and The Darkverse Series by Runyx maybe even the Folk of the Air, but HEAVY on SATWON!!!


message 61: by Darby (new)

Darby Joy (djoys) | 1 comments Hello fellow book readers and Fourth Wing fanatics!

My name is Darby, and my favorite book genre is fantasy books!

My recent favorite read is Fourth Wing, I’m obsessed with the world and the characters. Some other favorites I’ve accumulated include the Throne of Glass series, Seven Realms series, Talon series (I recommend this one for any who may be looking for a dragon-filled world to explore)!

I’ve been reading since I was a little girl, but one of the first series that got me into fantasy books is the Eragon series and the Chronicles of Narnia!

Obviously I’d love to see Fourth Wing made into a tv series, but Throne of Glass would be another awesome series I’d like to see be made into a show. I much prefer tv shows to movies, since shows can get more detailed!

Looking forward to reading with you all!

message 63: by Brooke (new)

Brooke Ackerman | 4 comments hey!! my name is Brooke!

my favorite genre is absolutely fantasy/romantasy

my favorite read has to be either ACOMAF or Fourth Wing. i cannot choose.

my favorite fantasy elements are definitely fae/dragons and the characters cool signets/powers.

currently i am finishing up Iron Flame and its soooo good.

the book that got me into reading, and more so fantasy was Frost Blood. its been years since i read it but i remember loving it but i never ended up reading the next one in the series lol

i would LOVE to see Fourth Wing made into a movie/show. i know there was talk of ACOTAR being made into a show so i would love to see that too.


message 64: by Alexis (new)

Alexis Ramirez | 2 comments Hi guys! :) My names Lexi I’m from Sacramento, Ca i’m 30 years old and new to this app but I’ve discovered a love for books and wanted to have friends who can be a book lover just like myself.

I would say my favorite genre would have to be a good self-help book but I recently have had a love for fantasy fiction.

My favorite read would have to be Fourth Wing, and Acotar

My favorite Fantasy Element would have to be Dragons and supernatural powers

My current read right now is Ask and it is given: Learning to manifest your desires I just finished Filthy Ritch Fae because I heard so many good things about it but I did not like it at all.

The book that acted as a gateway for me to read more would have to be twilight honestly lol I was into all the books and had every dvd when I was a teenager!
Book I would want made into a tv show or movie would have to be fourth wing series which I heard it is!! It’s going to be picked up by Amazon studios I can’t wait. I just hope they cast the right characters for the show! Acotar is also going to be made into a tv series which I’m super excited for.


message 65: by Grace (new)

Grace Wingham | 2 comments Hello, I am Grace. I am a 20 year old law student and have just started getting back into reading. I have read 27 books this year already. I love dark romance and fantasy and would love to make some friends that also enjoy reading :)


message 66: by Amy (new)

Amy | 1 comments Hi! I'm Amy and I am from the UK. I have too many favourites to choose an all time favourite book BUT a book series I always recommend is the ACOTAR series, it incorporates everything I love about a book (fae, romance, fantasy and banter!)

Feel free to add me, I love a book gossip! 🖤


message 67: by Katie (new)

Katie | 6 comments My name is Katie, I am new to the fantasy romance genre, prior to this new-found love it has been a large pot of whatever grabbed my interest.
As far as favorite read, I have a few, all-time favorite was Night by Ellie Weisel (holocaust story) but right at this moment Fourth Wing series has me in a choke hold.
Favorite Fantasy Element is probably the idea of when two worlds collide, most commonly fae world and human world, or the idea of discovering powers.
I don't have a current read other than I am re-reading Fourth Wing because i have so many questions left unanswered and theories. I read here and there but it was after I read ACOTAR that I completely submersed myself in the fantasy romance journey.
I would love to see ACOTAR as a show or movie because, yes, the book did a great job of giving descriptions and providing really good imagery to the scenes, I would love to see it come to life.


message 68: by Ema. (new)

Ema. reads | 1 comments Heyyy. My name is Ema, I'm from Germany and my favorite genre is Romantasy. My favorite book is Fourth Wing (this book also got me into reading romantasy). I'm new on goodreads, so feel free to add me. I'd love to make some friends here:)


Eithne&#x1f505;✨ | 2 comments Hi my name is Eithne and I’m from Australia.

I live reading fantasy books as they act as a way for me to escape the world and my head. Growing up I hated reading but a couple years ago I picked up a book and fell in love with world building and fantasy books. My all time favourite read was the throne of glass series, I fell in love with the characters and the world. The series helped me with my mental health and I will never stop recommending this series. I LOVED Fourth Wing and am so excited to see how the rest of the series continues. I absolutely love gut wrenching books that have a really strong FMC, the more I connect to the book and the characters the better. I’m semi new to Goodreads and really like that there are these communities for people to connect over the same books they love.

message 74: by Victoire (new)

Victoire Kim | 2 comments Hi ☺️ my name is Victoire but you can call me vicky ! I’m french but i pretty much only read books in english. I would say i’m quite new to reading. as a kid i was always considered by my parents as the kid who didn’t like reading. i think i just hadn’t discover fantasy !!!!

so as you have guessed my favorite genre is fantasy/romantacy, as a lot of you guys probably haha

my favorite read which is also the book that made me fall in love with reading is… FOURTH WING (i know what a surprise 🙄).

I absolutely love dragons, but also crazy games/competitions for the action, as well as the mind communication/ talking mind to mind (that was one of my favorite things in FW and IF)

I’m currently reading The Serpent and The Wings of Night which i’m absolutely loving !! I’m also listening to the audiobook version of The HouseMaid (thriller).

And for the movie i wanna see made into a tv show…. appart from fourth wing (but tbh a part of me doesn’t) maybe Once Upon A Broken Heart ? 💔


message 75: by Isabelle (new)

Isabelle | 1 comments Hiya! My name is Isabelle, but you can call me Issy :) I’ve always been an avid reader and bookworm since I could remember, but fell into a major reading slump during college. Though recently, the ACOTAR series and Empyrean series has reignited my absolute love for reading!

Favorite genre: Romantasy (obviously!) and mystery/thrillers
Favorite read: American Gods was definitely a great read, but my all time favorite book is Jeremy Fink and the meaning of life
Favorite fantasy element: any magical creatures (dragons, vampires, werewolves, far - all the ghouls and goblins!)
Currently reading: Hunting Adeline 🫣
Gateway to reading: Definitely the Nancy Drew series as a kid and Mortal Instruments when I was a bit older
Book to movie: honestly, none! I don’t think movies and TV shows ever really do the books justice, so I prefer them to stay as they are!

Looking forward to having a place to chat all things books, feel free to message me as well :)


message 76: by Marieve (new)

Marieve Dansereau | 1 comments Hi! My name is Marieve. I speak French but I prefer books in their original version - so generally in English, because the romantasy genre is not quite popular in French! ;) I used to read a lot when I was in my 20s, mostly historical fiction or stories about French history. I started to read again about a year ago, having more time to myself now that my kids are older. I read ACOTAR just to know what all the fuzz was about and I got hooked to the genre!

Favorite read : Comte de Monte-Cristo, A Song of Ice and Fire, Fourth Wing, Throne of Glass

Current read : Goldfinch

Book I want to see made into a TV show : Fourth Wing for sure! And Throne of glass would definitely be something.


message 77: by liz (my own version) (last edited Dec 17, 2024 02:17PM) (new)

liz (my own version) | 10 comments Fourth Wing
Powerless
The Wishing Spell
Hi my name is Elizabeth.

My favorite genre is Romantasy.

My favorite book is Fourth Wing.

I kind of just love all fantasy elements. Just anything dragons,, vampire, fae, magic, special abilities really.

I'm currently rereading Powerless by Lauren Roberts.

The book that was my gateway into reading was Keeper of the Lost Cities by Shannon Messenger which my friend introduced to me and ever since I'm constantly reading. Although a year or two before I read that series the first series that I actually made me enjoy reading was Land of Stories by Chris Colfer.

And I don't want any of my favorite books to get turned into a book or movie. This is because I don't want it to be different from the book. If it was exactly like the book then I wouldn't care. But for example I don't want Fourth Wing to be a show. Don't get me wrong though I am so insanely happy that it's so popular since it's my favorite book.

But if they miss somethings like Violet's part silver hair, Violet refusing to cut her hair, Mira giving Violet the Book of Brennan, Violet and Rhiannon switching boots before parapet, Imogen breaking Violet's arm, during the one of the first few days Xaden talking about the relationship between Violet and Dain and teasing her about it This part “'I already knew your parents are tight,'” Xaden calls out, a cruel smile
tilting his lips. “'But do you two have to be so fucking obvious?'”
The few cadets who are still in the rotunda turn to look at us.
“'Let me guess,'” Xaden continues, glancing between Dain and me.
“'Childhood friends? First loves, even?'”(view spoiler) Then I'll actually be so upset because it makes the book so much better.


message 78: by Nina (new)

Nina | 1 comments Hello everyone! My name is Nina. I'm new to groups in general on GoodReads so excuse me if I'm a little slow at this! My favorite genre would probably be romantasy and horror/thriller. My favorite read currently would have to be Bride by Ali Hazelwood and Fourth Wing/Iron Flame. It's so hard to choose! I love dragons and vampires. Usually if one is featured in the book there is a high chance I will love it! Guilty obsessions and all. I am currently re-reading Fourth Wing (and getting my husband to read it too! [audio-book since he's not much of a reader]). I used to be an avid reader, then life happened. I got back into it mid 2023 after reading The Dragon Heart Legacy books by Nora Roberts. I would love to see Fourth Wing series as a TV show, not a movie! TV show would make it so much more enjoyable and they can get a lot more details that way.


message 79: by Crow (new)

Crow (nemos_mama) | 2 comments Heyo, Fourth Wing took over my life, I’ve read both books at least 2 already. I’m obsessively waiting for Onyx Storm. I love crystals and earthy stuff. I need people to talk theories with other than my mother. I have a very dry humor but have a lot of fun meeting new people who are books worms (or dragons as my mom would say) like me.

message 83: by Kayla (new)

Kayla McCoy-Reeves (kayccoy) | 2 comments Hello! My name is Kayla, I’m a fur mom who enjoys reading 📖

My favorite genre is fantasy and memoirs. Since graduating from college I’ve been dipping my toe back into reading and start off with audiobooks before getting a kindle for Christmas.

My favorite fantasy element? Dragons 🐉 oh, and Fae. I love the idea of magic and being able to channel it. I’ve always been drawn to the magical realm when it comes to literature.

Currently I am reading Iron Flame. I’ve devoured it almost three days and I am closing on the ending and I am NERVOUS!! I keep setting the kindle down to take a breath and calm down.

My gateway book was Harry Potter. I was gifted the first book as a birthday present when I was younger and I consumed it in a matter of hours. I’ve had an insatiable appetite for fantasy since.

As for a book series I’d like to see made into a show or movie, it would have to be May Bird and the Ever After. I always thought it would have been a good trilogy for the silver screen, but at the height of its popularity Twilight and the Hunger Games were dominating the box office.

message 86: by Janie (new)

Janie | 1 comments Hiiii I’m Janie from sunny Western Australia 🇦🇺

Fave Genre - Romantasy, Romance & Dark Romance

Favourite Read - Alexis Calder’s Blood and Salt Series and Den of Vipers.

Favourite Fantasy Element - Ooo this is hard to choose I do love a dragon but I think I really love fated mates & the whole being able to feel your mates emotions and that really deep connection.

Current Read - rereading Iron Flame in preparation for Onxy Storm

Gateway book - Divergent when I was younger and Fourth Wing really got me back into reading.

Book made into TV Show - to be honest probably none of them 😅 as my tv show genres are vastly different from my reading genres.

Siena Dini | 1 comments Hi everyone, I'm Siena!

My favorite genres are fantasy and historical period dramas

Current favorite reads are Fourth Wing and The Secret History

My favorite fantasy elements are dragons and power wielders like witches

My current read is A Dark and Drowning Tide. hooray for gay yearning! Also the Game of Thrones audiobook.

The books that were my gateway into becoming a reader was the Percy Jackson series when I was 12. Absolutely adore those books to this day and desperately need to do a reread.

Would LOVE to see Fourth Wing adapted into a show.


message 89: by Kelly (new)

Kelly Winter (kellywinter) | 1 comments Hiii everyone! I'm Kelly 💚 It's so lovely to see so many people here! I'm a 34-year-old from the UK who loves romantasy books. 🔮💘

My favourite modern read is the 'Empyrean' series by Rebecca Yarros (of course - I also can't wait to see it on screen) and I'm currently reading the 'Crowns of Nyaxia' series which I am enjoying immensely. 👑

My favourite tropes are found family, enemies-to-lovers, slow-burn romance, plot twists, happy endings for final books, hidden layers and mysteries. I adore all things dragon! 🐉

I can't remember my gateway book as I've been reading all sorts since a very young age but I believe Black Beauty was one of the first novels I read and that has stuck with me. 🐎

Some of my hobbies include anything to do with nature, listening to music, gardening and crafting when I'm not reading. 🌿

Fun fact: I'm an author myself (non-fiction) and I'm looking for friends to discuss fiction books with. I have a bookstagram - TheNightfireLibrary and would love to follow anyone with similar interests! My follows and DM's are always open for fellow bookwyrms. 📚

message 91: by Lezahn Meiring (new)

Lezahn Meiring | 1 comments Hi!

I’m Lezahn, and I just finished Onyx Storm, so expect bias in my introduction…

I live in South Africa, and I’m the ultimate Harry Potter fan.

Favorite genre: historical fiction, Romance & fantasy, now… romantasy

Favorite read: As of a few days ago, all three Fourth Wing books, but realistically before that, the Seven Sisters series by Lucinda Riley from recent years, Harry Potter for all time favorite.

Favorite fantasy element: Magic, and all the forms it can take and how authors play with it to create a world.

Current read: Onyx Storm was my 8th book for the year (it took me two weekends to read all 3 available Empyrean books), not sure if I’m reading soon again, I’m still recovering.

Gateway book(s): The Harry Potter series

Books I want in a series: NOT Harry Potter, you can never remake that perfection. So, right now, probably Fourth Wing. Oh, and the Seven Sisters series.


♡✯Caiti✯♡ | 1 comments Hi my name is Caiti! My favorite genre is fantasy/fiction. My favorite reads are fourth wing series, Cruel prince series, Song of Achilles, and Six of Crows duology. My favorite fantasy elements are magic systems, fae, and world building. I am currently reading Crescent City and want to reread the throne of glass series. Harry Potter acted as my gateway into becoming a reader when i was young. I would most like to see Fourth wing be made into a television show.

Favorite Genre: Romantasy, followed by Science Fiction
Favorite and least favorite trope: Favorite is long, slow teasing the whole novel, where you don't know if they'll hook up, but you hope so. Least: Enemies to Lovers... I KNOW I KNOW Fourth Wing totally worked for me but usually authors handle it so badly!!

Gateway Drug to Romantasy: A Court of Thorns and Roses. I’m a guy who grew up thinking I had to be all grit and edge, punk rock, sarcasm, no feelings, no fluff. Somewhere along the way, I bought into the idea that books with romance weren’t “for me.” What a load of rubbish. I now relish these books. So I guess just be kind to me.

Favorite Read: The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant

Favorite Fantasy Element: Magical creatures and rich world building, so I can escape this one.

Current Read: Lessons in Chemistry

Book you most want to see made into a film or television show: The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant

Ashley Lewis | 1 comments Hi everyone! I'm Ash 🌙

I’m so excited to be part of the Basgiath Bookclub! I’ve always been drawn to storytelling, but reading has been a challenge for me because of my dyslexia. It’s something I’ve struggled with for most of my life—but Fourth Wing is the first book that’s really inspired me to keep reading. I’m taking it slow and soaking it all in.

A little about me:

Favorite Genre: Fantasy, especially the kind with deep lore, rebellion, and a touch of danger.

Favorite Read: I don’t have a solid favorite yet, but Fourth Wing is really special to me.

Favorite Fantasy Elements: I love anything with elves, enchanted forests full of glowing mushrooms, secret magic systems, and of course—dragons.

Current Read: Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros

Gateway Book: Honestly, Fourth Wing is becoming that gateway for me.

Book I’d Love to See Onscreen: Fourth Wing (yep, still obsessed)—but I also really love The Hunger Games series and would love to see more stories like that on screen.

I’m also a big gamer! I love immersive story-rich games like Baldur’s Gate 3, and fantasy video games have always been my way to experience magic and adventure. Now, I’m finally starting to feel that same connection in books.

Looking forward to getting to know you all and geeking out together! 📚
