I love this series. It's a great historical romance series. Technically all the books are standalone, but they are attached in the way that the main characters from book 1 are minor characters in book 2.
Lust in the Tudor Court Series by Elizabeth Moss
Historical Fiction
This is a sad book that broke my heart.
The Last Suppers: Mikulencak, Mandy: 9781496710031
This book haunts me. I think that this is a book that literally everyone needs to read.
Yellow Wife: A Novel by Sadeqa Johnson

The Red Tent: 9780312427290: Diamant, Anita: Books
Memoir
This book broke my heart. As a child of an addict, it was interesting to see things from the eyes of a parent of an addict.
Beautiful Boy: A Father's Struggle Memoir
YA
Mental illnesses and loss are two themes in this book. Can be triggering. Definitely “trauma-core”
Identical - Hopkins, Ellen: Books
This duology is one of my favorite Little Mermaid retellings. It's based on African mythology and I wish I could read it for the first time again.
Skin of the Sea (Of Mermaids and Orisa)
Mystery/suspense
I read this as a kid when I first came out, and to the day it's still one of my favorites. I have re-read it so many times.
