These are my ALL TIME favorite reads. I consider myself to be a pretty avid reader. I have a small instagram following where I review upcoming novels and I like to focus on quality over quantity. I read all genres, some more than others of course, so...
This is the first John Green book I've ever read and I love it so much. His books are my favorite ever.
Looking for Alaska
This was such a good book!
The Unmaking of June Farrow: A Novel
This is her best book so far!
Happy Place
This was one of my all time favorites. My husband loved it too! It's been a long time since a book has stuck with me as long as this one has! I cannot see what Gabrielle Zevin does next!
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow
This book got me into reading again. LOVE!
The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry
I wish this author would write more! The twist at the end of this was up there with Gone Girl. So good!!!
Sharp Objects
This is a good story. I'm a real sucker for a time travel romance!
The Time Traveler's Wife
I wish she'd written more books like this one! I feel like this is a great read for lgbt kids.
Keeping You a Secret
Honestly this whole series. There has never been a more consuming romance. And time travel? It literally has not been beat!
Outlander
Yes! I love everything John Green has ever written, ok? He just is my absolute favorite.
Will Grayson, Will Grayson
TBH, this one kind of made me want to try acid as a teen.... I mean that in that it was so well written that I couldn't help but be curious. Lucky for me, I was way too chicken. 😉 Be warned.
Pure Sunshine
This was a book that really stuck with me over the years. I've lost count of how many times I reread it as a teen, but I highly recommend it.
Candy
This book had me and my husband in tears A LOT, but in the best way! What a sweet story. Whatever this genre is, it's the best. I'll read anything he writes!
A Man Called Ove
If you like SciFi…this is GREAT! This book was twisty as heck and it's just an awesome, accessible science fiction read.
Dark Matter: A Novel
HANK!! Hank Green is a fabulous guy. His videos are a staple in my life and in my children's schooling. I'm surprised it took me so long to read fiction by him but OF COURSE I loved it!
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing
This one is fabulous. It's just a nice sweeping romance with some twists!
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo: A Novel
When you need something wholesome. This feels like Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children but for adults and I love it!!!
The House in the Cerulean Sea
His music is my favorite, and he's just a great dude! His writing is not surprising if you're a fan of his music, and it gives a really interesting look inside his life!
Three Pianos: A Memoir: McMahon, Andrew
I feel like this is great if you're witchy or not. Just a good read. I recommend this for any mom, she really makes me want to make my own grimoire to leave behind!
Grimoire Girl: Inheritance of Magic
This is her best book. I love all of her contemporary novels but this is my favorite. Just so good.
The Seven Year Slip
SO GOOD. Memoir? How? This book pulls you in and tells such a great story. Also, now I want Korean food. 🤣🤤
Crying in H Mart
My fave by Olivie Blake! I'm still waiting for her to write another romance like this one.
Alone With You in the Ether
The town of Roscoe means a lot to me actually. This one is so good.
Paper Towns
You cant go wrong with Sarah Dessen.
The Truth About Forever
This was my favorite book growing up. So it's for kids, but it belongs in my favorites. ❤️
