Books for Wherever You Are—or Wherever You’d Rather Be

items I’m an e-reader person—an entire library in my bag without the backache. These are the books that kept me up too late, made me laugh, changed how I looked at the world or were simply too damn good to put down. My reading tastes have shifted over the ...
It finally came out! I’ve been impatiently waiting for the next Empyrean book, and these thirteen Threshing Day stories—including Xaden’s—should get me through until Rebecca Yarros gives us the next full installment. Dragons, favorite characters and ...
Threshing Day
Fantasy romance and dragon riders are not my usual reading material—but I could not put this down. Fourth Wing pulled me into its world almost immediately, and apparently I’m a dragon person now.
Fourth Wing (Wing and Claw Collection)
Fourth Wing made me a dragon person, so of course I immediately needed Iron Flame. More danger, more secrets and more reasons to ignore everything else I should have been doing. Couldn’t put this one down either.
Iron Flame
By Onyx Storm, I was fully committed to the dragons, danger and emotional chaos. I tore through it—and then immediately regretted reading so quickly because now I have to wait for the next one.
Onyx Storm
Alice Hoffman tells the history of one small Massachusetts town through generations of interconnected stories, secrets and just enough magic to make everything feel possible. Beautiful, haunting and the kind of book that stays with you long after you...
The Red Garden: A Novel
Alice Hoffman has a way of making you look at the world a little differently. Turtle Moon is mysterious, beautifully strange and filled with flawed people, unexpected connections and the faint suggestion that magic might be hiding in ordinary life.
Turtle Moon
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy should be mandatory reading for everyone. It’s absurd, clever and somehow explains humanity better than books that take themselves far more seriously. At the very least, you’ll always know where your towel is even...
The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Quirky, clever and completely ridiculous in the best possible way. The Restaurant at the End of the Universe continues the cosmic chaos—and proves that even the end of everything is more enjoyable with dinner reservations.
The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, The Authorized Collection: Douglas Adams The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
I read Good Omens years ago and still make references to it—including the song that inevitably plays in the car. Wickedly funny, brilliantly absurd and absolutely a must-read.
Good Omens: The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch
I’m an engineer—the science was never going to be the problem. I watched the movie on a red-eye, got absolutely no sleep and then immediately read the book. Smart, funny and completely absorbing, with an unexpected friendship that makes the whole thi...
Project Hail Mary
The Knight and the Moth pulled me in with its strange, atmospheric world and kept me guessing the entire way. I absolutely did not see that ending coming—and now I need the next book.
The Knight and the Moth
A servant girl with unexpected magical abilities is given a new identity and sent to an elite finishing school for young witches—where an ancient book chooses her as its Translator. Secret identities, magical mean girls and a heroine who is much more...
Changeling (Sorcery and Society Series #1)
A book about class, loyalty, chosen family and the painful realization that people on opposite sides may not be so different after all. The Outsiders is short, unforgettable and still feels startlingly relevant. Stay gold.
The Outsiders
This book is amazing—and apparently controversial enough that when my oldest wanted to read it for a high school project, it was deemed inappropriate for his age. A story about prejudice, justice and standing up for what is right was somehow the prob...
To Kill a Mockingbird
After 444 lifetimes of villainy, a demon overlord retires to raise a goat, grow turnips and avoid accidentally conquering anything. Unfortunately, village politics and a rose-growing widow prove more difficult than destroying heroes. Cozy, ridiculous...
The Demon Overlord's Retirement Plan
Apparently turning 60 doesn’t make you invisible—it makes you magical. Claire discovers she’s part of an ancient line of powerful Crones destined to fight dark forces, with a snarky living gargoyle for a roommate and a wolf shifter for backup. Finall...
Becoming Crone
The world ends, humanity is dumped into a deadly intergalactic dungeon, and Carl has to survive it in boxer shorts with his ex-girlfriend’s prize-winning cat. Completely ridiculous, unexpectedly smart and darkly hilarious. Princess Donut alone is rea...
Dungeon Crawler Carl (Dungeon Crawler Carl Series #1)
