The Song of Achilles
The first book that ever made me cry a river. This book will always be my number one. Highly recommended!
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo
"What is essential is invisible to the eye" The Little Prince is one of those books that feels simple at first, but quietly stays with you after. It’s a short read, but the message hits deeper the more you think about it—especially about growing up, ...
The Little Prince
Tuesdays with Morrie felt like a quiet conversation I didn’t know I needed. It’s simple, but it made me reflect on how I see life, time, and the people I care about. It’s one of those books that gently reminds you what actually matters.
Tuesdays with Morrie
It’s soft, comforting, and perfect when you just want something gentle to read. I love how it captures healing and finding yourself again, especially through books—it made me want to slow down and just exist for a while.
Days at the Morisaki Bookshop
THIS book. THIS. Gosh. I already watched the movie before I even read it, so I knew what to expect—but the book gave so much more depth (and tears). Nicholas Sparks knew exactly what he was doing.
A Walk to Remember
One of the well-known classics, I’ll admit—I was influenced by BookTok (TikTok) to pick this up—and it did not disappoint. If you’re someone who romanticizes life, truly embraces the “art of noticing,” and finds yourself drawn to deeper, more introsp...
White Nights
So, I have this habit of forecasting plot twists or endings in books, but I never expected the ending of this one. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson completely caught me off guard in the best way. It’s the kind of story that makes you wa...
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder
This is the kind of book my whole body refused to put down. I remember reading it during school breaks and even staying up way past my bedtime just to keep going. It completely hooked me until the end.
The Housemaid
I’ll be honest—I bought this book mainly because the cover was so pretty. I wasn’t expecting much and thought it would just sit there for aesthetic purposes. But once I started reading, it completely pulled me in. I couldn’t put it down, and before I...
The Vanishing Cherry Blossom Bookshop
“And, when you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.” The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho opened my mind to a completely new perspective in life. I can’t help but feel like this book was meant to fall into my hands at the...
The Alchemist
When I read this book, my mind and heart flipped. It’s so touching, genuine, and beautifully captures young love in its simplest, most innocent form.
Flipped
This book is for people who are into mysteries, plenty of twists, and solving puzzles, with a hint of romance. YOU GUYSSS WILL LOVE THIS BOOK!
The Inheritance Games
My experience with this book is not just about reading it—I tell you, it transported me straight into everything happening inside its world. It’s a dystopian setting that feels so vivid and intense, like you’re right there inside the arena, feeling e...
The Hunger Games (Book 1)
And of course, HARRY POTTER, the story never disappoints.
