DARK ACADEMIA | what I've read + reading plan 

Your bookcase set-up is so pretty!

I read We Were Villians two years ago and I thought it was definitely dark academia. I think that was when I was first exposed to dark academia and that's part of the reason I loved it so much because I felt like I'd never read another book like that before. You made me really want to pick up The Secret History. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews for both Catherine House and Ninth House. One of my favorite booktubers talked about Catherine House in a recent video and compared it with Mexican Gothic. I'm so happy you found a new genre you love! Unfortunately I don't have any books to recommend but I hope you find some to satisfy your craving. happy reading!

I loved hearing your thoughts on Dark Academia and I’m so intrigued to dive in sometime in the future! The name Katherine House has such a mysterious vibe IMO! Soooo intriguing! I want to see whatever bookish videos spark joy for you! Anything your heart desires, I’m here for it!

I was surprised by how much I loved The Secret History. Haven't read anything else like it.

I love Dark Academia so I'll definitely be checking out some of these. Also I've read both Ninth House and Vicious and they're both SO amazing!

I’m pretty sure I haven’t read a dark academia book before because I didn’t know what it was until this video. I might try it sometime!

I haven’t had the best experience with dark academia so far but If We Were Villains sounds really intriguing! Ninth House was sadly my least favorite book of 2020, but it had a cliffhanger so I’ll probably pick up the sequel! 😂 I loved Vicious a lot, though it’s definitely not as much of a dark academia vibe as some of the others on your list!

I just wanna see more videos from you full stop any thing you create as long as it makes you happy 😊 I really wanna check out both Catherine house and if we were villains 💜❤️ I’ve also been falling in love with dark academia recently and two that I would recommend are Bunny by Mona Awad and A Deadly Education By Naomi Novik. 🌸

I’ve been getting more and more into this genre as well. I have seen it a lot in film, but I didn’t realize how expensive it was in Books, until of course book tube LOL

Hi how are you I am doing good
