Not every book needs to be super heavy. This one lives in my mind as the kind of book I could go back and read over and over for the comfort of it.
The Midnight Library

Never read a book like this and loved it. Thought about reading more from her but they wouldn't be this book so I just couldn't bring myself to it...

One of the best series I've ever read.  Fantasy and not romantasy (which I alway enjoy).  My husband and I both loved this one and theres even more after the initial trilogy but I recommend starting with it to see if you like it and want to commit to the whole series.

I'm so glad I didn't read this in school or before my thirties because I don't think I would have appreciated or loved it as much as I did.  Easily one of my favorite books of all time.
