The Book Thief - Markus Zusak
Â
I cannot recommend this book enough, I read it years ago but still think about it all the time and certain quotes are just always in the back of my mind. The story and characters are so detailed, it feels so real, and I did have to Google to make sur...
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid, Paperback
Â
This series changed my life. Reading the original trilogy as a teenager did something to my brain chemistry I'm sure. This is the OG dystopian YA series, nobody can do it like Suzanne Collins. If you haven't yet read these books, please do yourself a...
The Hunger Games Series - Suzanne Collins
Â
I highly recommend all Terry Pratchett books because I think he was a genius, his writing style is so unique and humorous. BUT Hogfather was the first book I ever read of his and now I read it every single Christmas. It's funny, Death is maybe one of...
Hogfather: (Discworld Series) - Terry Pratchett

Last Chance To See - Douglas Adams and Mark Cawardine
Â
This is the coziest witchy book I think I've ever read. Its more magical realism than fantasy but there's witches so who needs more lol. Its a grumpy x sunshine romance, found family and general cuteness. Just a real feel good, autumnal, witchy book
The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu Mandanna
Â
I don't read that many mystery novels but even so the premise of this one was so unique! It was pretty fast-paced too and I didn't want to put it down because I couldn't wait to see what was going to happen next!
Magpie Murders: the Sunday Times bestseller crime thriller with a fiendish ...
Â
If you read one non fiction book let it be this one. It was so well written and easy to follow, it was interesting and so well researched and sourced, and it was infuriating - but in a good way. Its such an important topic
