Medically-Inclined
A great read about a doctor who receives a terminal diagnosis and suddenly finds himself on the other side of the hospital bed.
When Breath Becomes Air: Pulitzer Prize Finalist by Paul Kalanithi
A must-read for all medical professionals and researchers, to understand how we got to where we are today in medicine and learn from the mistakes made in the past.
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
Interested in cancer? This book is a great journey through cancer discovery, treatment, and research!
The Emperor of All Maladies: A Biography of Cancer
BookTok Famous
A romantasy where a girl destined to be a history scribe ends up enlisting in the war college instead. She has to survive her classmates and the dragons they meet, and also survive her dark and broody wingmaster.
Fourth Wing (The Empyrean, #1) by Rebecca Yarros
Book #2 in the Fourth Wing Series. Honestly, not as good as the first one in my opinion, but ends on a great cliffhanger!
Iron Flame (The Empyrean, #2) by Rebecca Yarros
Book #3! Lots of broodiness, lots of young adult angst, and some dragons too.
Onyx Storm (The Empyrean, #3) by Rebecca Yarros
Enemies to lovers with the backdrop of a war between mythical gods and a touch of magic. An excellent read, great plot lines and characters, and not nearly as spicy as many of the BookTok famous reads!
Divine Rivals (Letters of Enchantment, #1) by Rebecca Ross
After the cliffhanger ending of Divine Rivals, I had to keep reading to see what happens to these enemies-turned-lovers!
Ruthless Vows (Letters of Enchantment, #2) by Rebecca Ross
The Throne of Glass series is one of my favorites! Follow the story of a young orphan girl as she learns to fight for herself, forge relationships, and save the kingdom. Little bit of spice, heavier on fantasy elements, very enjoyable! Also, highly r...
Throne of Glass Hardcover Box Set
Classic Reads
One of my all-time favorite books. Ties in societal issues (racism) with growing up and learning not to judge based on appearance alone.
To Kill a Mockingbird: Lee, Harper
The ultimate classic romance novel!
Pride & Prejudice (2005)
Post-Apocalyptic
First book of the Hunger Games trilogy. Definitely got me hooked and excited to read the sequel!
The Hunger Games, Suzanne Collins
Second Hunger Games book, which I also really enjoyed! Some good plot twists and new characters added into the story from Book #1.
Catching Fire (Hunger Games Series #2)
Honestly…my least favorite of the original trilogy. It was good, but not as good as the other two and definitely not as good as the prequels!
Mockingjay (Hunger Games Series #3)
I loved this dive into President Snow's upbringing! It made so many things from the original trilogy and Snow and Katniss's relationship make even more sense. Definitely a great read for fans of the original trilogy.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes (A Hunger Games Novel)
Loved this! Many Easter eggs that trace back to the original trilogy, which made me very happy. I feel like her books keep getting better with these new prequel releases, loved getting Haymitch's story and understanding more about his character.
Sunrise on the Reaping (A Hunger Games Novel)
