Easiest Reads
these were really easy to get into and read for hours on end
this one is for the girls (and boys) who love maladaptive daydreaming and also reading lol!
Bridget Jones's Diary
don't shame on booktok until you give it a try! this is like a "romantic" thriller on speed
Verity, Paperback
a great book for me especially because I plan to go into firm corporate; just not for law
The Firm by John Grisham|Paperback
good to pass time, and not too long of a read either. I'd say 8 days worth of reading, for me
Hungry as the Sea|Paperback
yes i KNOW! but just hear me out... if you ignore all the lawsuit drama with the movie adaptation and the online slander, you'll thank me :)
It Ends with Us #1
I know you've heard A LOT about this one before. and it speaks for itself, so what are you waiting for? add this to your shelf, or Kindle if that's what you're into:)
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo|Paperback
English Teacher Made Me Read
these are a few gems i did in high school for English Literature
honestly, I read this in high school for English literature, and it just stuck with me. it is very heavy on the arts and also absolutely timeless.
The Picture of Dorian Gray|Paperback
another gem my English teacher made me read :) very well written story told from the POV of one mother writing a letter to another. unique concept i think?
Mother to Mother|Paperback
it paints a beautiful picture of the cruel act that is crime. (the oxymoron will make sense once you read this)
Tsotsi: A Novel|Paperback
I'm sure you've heard the phrase "witch hunt". if you have, well, I'd like to think this is where it originates from. that's all I'll say about that (no spoilers lol)
The Crucible|Paperback
A Little Dose of Non-Fiction
I believe in balance, so here's my non-fiction side of things :)
I'm all for fiction, but this is one i need you to try out ASAP! this isn't like The 48 Laws of Power or your usual self-help books!
The Let Them Theory: A Life-Changing Tool That Millions of People Can't Stop Talking About|Hardcover
a staple, come on! it's reading101 to have this
Rich Dad Poor Dad|Paperback
Booktok Made Me Buy
a few favourites from booktok :) consider them an honorable mention category of sorts
super cute! just wholesome and warm throughout, while also being so beautifully heartbreaking!
Red, White & Royal Blue|Paperback
truly was ahead of it's time... in hindsight. sparked a lot of conversation and debates, but overall my favourite of all time. crazy how tiktok made me buy it
Call Me by Your Name|Paperback
very delicate and natural diction. beautiful writing.
Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass
another booktok staple, or as I like to call it, reading101. very good for someone who is like me, enjoys casual/occasional reading
