Mystery, triller and fantasy
A woman makes a deal with a stranger that makes her immortal but curses her to be forgotten by everyone she meets, until the day she stumbles upon a mysterious man that remembers her.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue a book by V. E. Schwab
Another book from the author of the House maid. This one is even better and way more unpredictable and interesting!
Never Lie
The whole series is great but this one is my favourite. A story about the past and the present of a house maid trying to get her life together and get back on track. For me it was a really quick read (I read it in one sitting 🤭)
The Housemaid a book by Freida McFadden
I would say you can read it as a stand alone or as the second part of the series i recommend reading the first book tho but it isn’t a must and you can always go back.
The Housemaid's Secret - Freida McFadden
Even tho I’m not a big fan of reading horror (I rather watch it) I did like this one. The book is also better than the movie! 🍿

Classics

The Master and Margarita

The Alchemist (25th Anniversary Edition) - Barnes & Noble
Less known than dracula but written way before and in my opinion better
Carmilla a book by Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and Carmen Maria Machado
Gregor Samsa wakes up one morning and quickly finds out he is no longer human but transformed in to a bug🙀. A quick classic about family and friends perceptions of a person when they can no longer benefit you.
The Metamorphosis a book by Franz Kafka
George Orwell's timeless and timely allegorical novel a scathing satire on a downtrodden society's blind march towards totalitarianism.
Animal Farm: A Fairy Story a book by George Orwell, Ann Patchett, and Tea Obreht

The story views a world of great beauty and savage inequities through the eyes of a young girl, as her father--a crusading local lawyer--risks everything to defend a black man unjustly accused of a terrible crime.
To Kill a Mockingbird a book by Harper Lee
Another classic I really liked, it was a longer read for me but it was so worth it and full of different emotions and depth!
Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë, Paperback
Another great quick read classic from George Orwell that is a must read if you’re getting into classics and reading!

I don’t really know what genre I would say this book is because it depends on how you understand it, for me i would say it helped me look at “bad things” in life from a different perspective. What is it about?After his daughter's murder, a grieving f...
