Pre-teen/ teen reads
Â
I really enjoyed this book and was absolutely enthralled by it. Its a great mystery with a bit of fantasy and was an easy read - perfect for younger teens
Iris and the Tiger by Leanne Hall
Â
This was such a good book. The themes are a bit darker, being about the war, but I loved it and found the way it was written to be very unique
The Book Thief: Zusak, Markus:
Â
This is another amazing, war/mystery book, slightly less heavy then the book thief but one i loved as a teen.
Our Castle by the Sea by Lucy Strange | 9781911077831
Â
There seems to be a theme of the books i enjoyed as a teen. This is yet another war set book that i could not put down!
Letters from the Lighthouse by Emma Carroll | 'The Queen of historical fiction. ...
Â
I don't even know if I can put this in the teens category anymore because I don't know any teens that would have watched dance moms now a days T-T. But I remember feeling so inspired (and such a bigger fan) after reading Chloe's book. So honestly no ...
Girl on Pointe by Chloe Lukasiak | Chloe's Guide to Taking on the World
Â
I absolutely LOVED this series. It had great characters, narrative, romance. It was just so gripping and of course, had the vampire element which is always fun and interesting.
My Sister the Vampire Collection by Sienna Mercer | Book set
Adult fiction
Â
The whole theme of the book is so incredibly unique, at least for me, and really made me think more in-depth about the subject of scent. Due to its somewhat unpredictable narrative and story, I found it quite infatuating.
Perfume by Patrick Suskind | The Story of a Murderer | 9780141041155
Â
I cant explain my love for this book. Its actually one i did for school and was able to go incredibly in depth about which i think grew my love for it. I will say, the women in my class enjoyed it far more then the men as it explores femineity, woman...
The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath | 2nd Edition | 9780571081783
Â
I really was not expecting to like this book, this much. I was hooked from the very first pages. It’s such a unique, mind bending and captivating narrative with interesting characters that keep you engaged.
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides | The record-breaking, multimillion ...
Â
This was such a good short read. It’s only about 80 pages but it’s such an interesting yet relatable concept of overthinking and anxiety portrayed through a somewhat humorous and unique story. It’s also the type of book you’d want to annotate!
The Pigeon by Patrick Suskind | 9780140105834
Manga
Â
This is one of the longer manga's that is honestly such a good read and has a really unique plot and set of characters. A great action genre manga
Assassination Classroom Vol. 1-21 by Matsui
Â
I CANNOT explain how much i love this manga. Its hands down my favorite romance by far and I was so excited to read it after the anime, as the anime really does not give it justice
Manga Ao Haru Ride
Â
This is another, really sweet, but super sad romance that is one of the shortest manga's of my recommendations so its definitly worth a read as i feel you get more from the manga then the anime
I Want to Eat Your Pancreas: Complete Manga
Â
This is another really good romance manga where the anime didn't serve it justice. I find this a bit more of a mature approach to the romance genre and it feels a lot more real and relatable
Say I Love You. 1: Hazuki, Kanae:
Â
This is yet another romance manga which till this day is one of my favorites. It was also one of my first but i love the characters and art. Definitely recommend
Strobe Edge, by Io Sakisaka | 9781421553139
Â
I was distraught having to wait for each volume to come out in english. This is another one of my favorite romance mangas. It has me smiling like an idiot all the time TvT
Cheeky Brat by Mitsubachi Miyuki | 9781975361990
