Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (Book 6)
Books I Read As An Adult
YA Dystopian Romance. Reminds me of the popular dystopian books of the 2010s. Such a cool concept!
Soulmatch | Book by Rebecca Danzenbaker
A great read. The whole book is made up of letters which I love. Can be a bit sad though
The Correspondent by Virginia Evans
This book is soooo good. The cover is absolutely gorgeous. I definitely recommend if you like Greek myth retellings

A retelling of the story Carrie by Stephen King. So unique and very well done!

This book was such a pleasant surprise. Ive never read another book with this kind of concept

I'll always appreciate a book with an amazing cover. Book covers aren't as cool as they used to be
Their Vicious Games by Joelle Wellington
This book was such a pleasant surprise. I still think about it all the time even though its been months since I read it. A book that I could see being taught in schools later on
The Names by Florence Knapp
A beautifully written book that talks about what we would do if we had the ability to know just how long we had left to live
