No Facts, Just Fiction
8
items Okay, so I am not a huge fiction reader. But when I do venture to the other side of the book store, I want to be engulfed. It's got to do something for me or I'm putting it down 5 pages in. You aren't going to find your typical fantasy or romance rea...
This is my undisputed favorite book. Well, at least when it comes to fiction. It has everything: it's funny, it's creepy, it's fantastical while still feeling grounded in reality. I love it for a rainy day read, because it is the perfect length. You ...
Coraline - Neil Gaiman
I'm not a history buff. And I have about zero interest in historical fiction. But thanks to the recent Cabaret resurgence, I was inspired to give this one a go. For those that don't know, this is the book, that inspired the play that inspired Cabaret... The book is a collection of smaller stories that read somewhere between a memoir and a journal as our main character takes us through life during the slow boil of unrest in 1930s Germany. While we obviously all know where this leads, its this individ...
The Berlin Stories - Christopher Isherwood
I actually first read this book way back in High School on the recommendation of the school librarian. I've always loved the dystopian stuff. It's definitely YA, and maybe I have a soft spot for it because I read it at the perfect time in my life (hi...
Unwind - Neal Shusterman
I honestly think this should be required reading. We have seen the erosion of women's rights across the world and it's hard to imagine it can happen at home. The truly horrifying part of this book is sitting with the fact that Margaret Atwood didn't ...
The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
If you're like me once you finished The Handmaid's Tale you wanted to know more. Well, I'm here to tell you yes, it is worth the read. I loved the way this story is told. Atwood chooses the perfect trio each with their own unique experience within th...
The Testaments: The Sequel to The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
Full disclosure, I haven't even finished this one yet but holy smokes is it GOOD! A Ballad of Song Birds and Snakes was pretty good but didn't do it for me the way the original trilogy did. This one? Not only does it hold up, I'd go as far as to say ...
Sunrise on the Reaping - Suzanne Collins
To me, if you are going to buy a collectors set, you get the hardcovers. Hot take, but I actually hate book jackets so I remove them and have all of my books on my shelfs in all of their naked glory. I feel like it gives that old library aesthetic th...
Hunger Games 5-Book Hardcover Box Set By Suzanne Collins
This is honestly so hard to recommend just one of Ellen Hopkins books. But, if you have never heard of her or just never picked up one of her books there really isn't a better place to start. The book is written in prose so it is not as intimidating ...
Crank by Ellen Hopkins
