An emotional rollercoaster that left me in tears. But trust me, it's worth the read.
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, Paperback
My favorite series up to date, the way Leigh Bardugo writes keeps you captivated throughout the ENTIRE series. Highly highly recommend.
Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo
Neal Shusterman presents a dystopian world where technology advances to the point that death doesn’t arrive naturally, but by the hands of the Scythes. An incredible take on the dystopian future and inspiring series.
Scythe (Arc of a Scythe Series #1) by Neal Shusterman
A slightly different recommendation but Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint (Webtoon) remains one of the most complex yet captivating stories I’ve read. The novels have only started to be translated to English so I’d recommend the Webtoon for now!
Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint
Even though you “know” the ending, you can’t help but feel for the characters and hope that things will turn out for the better…Another amazing read.
They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera
Not only does Illuminae present a captivating plot but it’s incredibly creative methods of storytelling and narrating within the pages left me in awe.
Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
A fantasy romance novel with an incredibly written plot and even more incredible characters. Don’t be tricked by the romantic moments though...
Carry On by Rainbow Rowell

The Dark Artifices by Cassandra Clare, the Complete Trilogy
What if Cinderella was set in a dystopian world and… a cyborg? Cinder presents a very interesting take on this iconic story in a series of fairytale twists.

A fantasy series with very tense romance and well written magical elements.

An all time favorite non-fiction murder mystery novel. Truly iconic.
