I'm so glad you mentioned Blood Over Bright Haven, I read that last month and LOVED it. I think it's perfect for people who liked Babel but wanted magic to play a bigger role

[NathalieGibbons]

I had no idea it was considered Dark Academia but A Discovery of Witches is one of my all time favorite series!!!!

Hey hey! 🪶 First of all, thank you to everyone who has submitted their recommendations, I hope your fellow readers will find what they are seeking! 🥰
Little note: I have edited out the description I gave for Piranese hence the awkward cut there! It seems to have been massively spoiler - which I am so sorry about! Haven't had read the book I of course did not know that it was but have removed it now! 🥰

I am currently reading Frankenstein and I would classify it as part DA, at least. There’s a bunch of descriptions of studying and uni life and, most importantly, the book sparks a conversation about how far we should go in our pursuits of knowledge. The vibes are just right, and I think that people who like the DA aesthetic will like this classic!

The Secret History is the first one I read and sparked my interest in the genre but it is very literary! So if you're a regular lit fic reader you could start with it but if you're not used to that then maybe not.

i was worried that The Atlas Six wouldn't be mentioned but phew it was, just later in the video, i was a bit too impatient haha! i absolutely loved it!! 🖤

[msellenandrea]

Loved the combination of new and old, popular and less known!
Ngl, my ego love that you chose my comment for one of these books hahah

[GriffReads]

Ahhh I just spotted you included my comment recommending Blood Over Bright Haven! One of my favourite books of this year, the opening chapter gave me chills and the magic system was so interesting

[GriffReads]

I just read Ink Blood Sister Scribe last week and loved it, the magic was so interesting to learn about and I struggled to put it down!

[blusandhues]

that synopsis of Piranesi actually gives away the ending

[elisatrrn]

Perfect ! I wanted to dive into the genre and see how I like it. Fitting for the season too

[MaryRose]

Shadow of the wind is one of the best books I’ve ever read
The other books in the series are amazing too

[BethWade]

What a great list! I hated The Secret History, but I'm willing to give some of these others a shot. Thanks for presenting them!

[luffyswaifu]

I just read If We Were Villains, and and am currently reading Babel and they are so wonderfully different from each other and I think both 5 stars for me. Glad I found this video today cause I feel like I’m heading for a DA binge 😅

[BecxReadz]

Anatomy A Love Story and The Corpse Queen are the only 2 dark academia I've enjoyed

[walkingwithbooks]

Your video came right on time, I'm discovering some Dutch Dark Academia books/series this month. And I didn't realize I've already read as much of the Dark Academia books. But apparently some of them are Dark Academia.

Anyway if interested I'll keep anyone updated if the Dutch books as worth the while. And yes I get most of you don't speak or read Dutch but maybe we can by volume of demand try to get them a English translation

[bookthoughtswitheilish]

My standards for what counts as Dark Academia books have been set so high after reading Babel and If We Were Villians 🙈🖤

[paulaquilina]

Good vlog; very descriptive and good that you included the status of the books eg ya;sci fi etc. Thoroughly recommend Robertson Davies “The Cornish Trilogy “

[sorenkrane]

Gosh, this helps so much. All the Dark Ac reccs seem to be the same few over and over. This was fabulous. I personally loved Catherine House and Vita Nostra.

Can you do science fiction for the next genre please! 🙏 🪐
