New Reads
New books that I've loved reading and highly recommend to others. They stand out as more well written, engaging, and enjoyable than other newly written books out there.
It's a breath of fresh air. There's a great mix of action, heart, and comedy I haven't found in books before or since.
Dungeon Crawler Carl (Dungeon Crawler Carl Series #1)|Hardcover
The second installment and an equally fantastic read. I will say, the first book felt like it just…ended. But, this book picks up right where it left off without missing a beat.
Carl's Doomsday Scenario (Dungeon Crawler Carl #2)|Hardcover
Ever wonder what a centaur would look like with both halves being human? And also the top half has wolverine claws? Yeah, this book gets very interesting. There's more drama and secrecy than before with so many twists and turns, you could call it an ...
The Dungeon Anarchist's Cookbook (Dungeon Crawler Carl #3)|Hardcover
This Pulitzer prize winning book is such a unique masterpiece. It's hard to explain how strangely beautiful his writing is. The way he personifies or adds emotions to normally mundane things is unlike any book I've read before. It's hard to explain e...
Tinkers: 10th Anniversary Edition
Classics
Timeless classic books that will always be great. It's never too early or late to buy one of these as a gift for new readers or to recommend one to someone who's somehow never read them before.
I loved this beautifully written book about a man running from an unknown, dangerous shadow creature.
A Wizard of Earthsea a book by Ursula K. Le Guin
There will always be a special place in my heart for this book. One of the first fantasy books I ever read.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Harry Potter, Book 1)
This was such a wacky and enjoyable read. If you haven't read anything by Terry Pratchett yet, you should start!
The Wee Free Men - Terry Pratchett
This was the second ever Terry Pratchett book I read and I was surprised by it. Even though the title should be self-explanitory, I still enjoyed figuring out just how accurate it was and in such a delightful way. If you like odd war stories that don...
Monstrous Regiment a book by Terry Pratchett
I still remember reading this in high school and having my mind slowly change from uncaring to internally shouting against racism. It's difficult to get a teenager to care about a book, and this one pulled it off. It's a classic for a good reason.
To Kill a Mockingbird a book by Harper Lee
Yet another book I was forced to read, but I didn't really appreciate this one until I got older. Reading through, I really feel like I see so much of this character and recognized parts of my teenage self in him. Very little happens in the plot, but...
The Catcher in the Rye a book by J D Salinger
This book gave me direction in life when I felt lost. It'll forever remain a treasure to me. If you're traveling a path of self-discovery, you should absolutely check this book out.
The Alchemist a book by Paulo Coelho
With the way the U.S. is going right now, this terrifying, thought-provoking book could become a reality I hope I'm never part of. Burning books feels like an insult to humanity.
Fahrenheit 451 a book by Ray Bradbury
I can't get enough of these. At least once a year I come back and re-read them just hoping that I've forgotten enough that I can experience the magic again. If you haven't yet, I cannot recommend reading these enough.
The Lord of the Rings Box Set a book by J.R.R. Tolkien
One of the first books I ever read and my original gateway drug. Nothing I've read has ever been quite like this.
Alice´s Adventures in Wonderland - Lewis Carroll
Disney Multiverse Books
Did you know there are interconnected Disney multiverse books written about most of the villains? Neither did I until recently! These are such interesting reads and I can't wait to continue on and find out how they all overlap and see who makes an ap...
This is recommended as the first book to read in this series of interconnected Disney villain books. The author has such a unique way of telling us about the Wicked Queen and her tragic tale. I can't wait to read the rest and see how they all connect...
Fairest of All: A Villains Graphic Novel
I would by no means call the Beast a Disney villain at the end of the Beauty and the Beast story, but I do think he had the capacity to become one at the start. This book explores that beginning and shows us his self-centered start. If it weren't for...
Beast Within, The-Villains, Book 2
Graphic Novels
If you're a fan of the ATLA series, you'll love this book. It picks up right after the series ended and shows the disrespect Aang feels as his air nomad culture is tested and Zuko's struggles to lead the fire nation in a way that differs from his fat...
The Promise Omnibus (Avatar: The Last Airbender)|Hardcover
Following The Promise, we finally find out what happened to Zuko's mother. That was enough for me to grab this and finally sate my curiosity. Do yourself a favor and learn what really happened to her after all this time.
The Search Omnibus (Avatar: The Last Airbender)|Hardcover
Grab this after reading The Search and follow the gang as they celebrate a long forgotten air nomad holiday, only to faced by an ancient spirit bent on destruction. As with the others, the hardback version is so beautiful and worth it to take in all ...
The Rift Omnibus (Avatar: The Last Airbender)|Hardcover
Read this after The Rift. This trilogy centers around a prophecy to dethrone Zuko and how the gang helps him and his family while children go missing all around. It's got mystery an intrigue abound and definitely worth reading the hardback version fo...
Smoke and Shadow Omnibus (Avatar: The Last Airbender)|Hardcover
I loved the movie and the books. Both are similar but have some pretty clear differences. Scott is a bigger jerk, in my opinion, in the books. He and Ramona have some clear issues that need to be dealt with, but he's definitely more likeable in the m...
Scott Pilgrim 20th Anniversary Color Hardcover Box Set|Hardcover
This was the first Marvel comic I was recommended by a friend that I could rent from my local library as a kid. I absolutely loved the start of this series and ended up renting every volume the library had, consuming them over the weekend. Unfortunat...
