One of the hardest prompts for me to fill in has and always will be the Valentine freebie prompt when it comes to Top Ten Tuesday (hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl) . I am not naturally drawn to romance books and I don’t often care for romance in my fantasy books either. I just have a hard time connecting with it. But I’m sure I’ll get around to talking about me and romance in books in depth at some point this year.
But I figured I did know some fantasy books that have romance that could be great reads for Valentine’s Day. I did take the fantasy genre and stretched it quite far for my doing. Paranormal Romance, High Fantasy, Urban Fantasy are all in here.
If you are looking for a romance book I hope you will find one in these.

I have the same reaction to romantic prompts for TTT. It looks like you found some good books for it, though.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.

I’m not all that keen on romance either, I liked Caraval, wasn’t overly keen on The Night Circus and enjoyed Heartless but if I had the option I would go for non romantic over romantic fantasy every time!

The Night Circus and Uprooted are so wonderful. I’d love to do a reread of both those novels. Naomi Novik has a new one coming out this summer that I am stoked for.

I don’ t like circuses stories very much but I still tried The Night Circus. DNF 😦 that’s why I haven’t tried Caraval. Did you know book 2 ARC is available in NetGalley??

Aah. Caraval isn’t really a circus though. It is more of a big event. Or that is how I felt. I don’t really think it is much like The Night Circus.
I saw but it is wish only for me. ._.

Oh I thought that because I read a couple of reviews that use the word “circus” and compared it to the Night Circus. Maybe I should give it a try then! 😊

Goh, ik wissel mijn fantasyboeken af met romans of thrillers. De laatste tijd vooral romans. In fantasyboeken vind ik Outlander ontzettend romantisch.
