Colleen has had me on a binge ever since reading Verity. However, I do read a bit of everything as you'll see by this list. Any books on my list are worth reading, wouldn't recommend anything not worth your time or coin.

Let me just say that the movie did not do this beautiful book any justice. Stick to the book if you want the whole story. Lots of detail, heart wrenching but beautiful. 1000/10
Where the Crawdads Sing
1
Β
Saw this on booktok! It was a good read. A bit predicable, yet relatable enough. 8.5/10
People We Meet on Vacation
Β
Oldie but a goodie. If you've seen the movie, read the book and if you haven't seen the movie read the book first! Never disappoints.
The Green Mile: The Complete Serial Novel
Β
I read this AFTER watching the show and it was a bit of a let down. HOWEVER, the book is still good. I think Elizabeth Moss just created something amazing with the show. The book ends after S1 for reference.
The Handmaid's Tale: Atwood, Margaret:
Β
Amazing read!! ππ½ I'm sad that they're βdivorcingβ from the book but excited to see what they come up with for the series.
The Testaments
Β
I read this in 3 days and I think that speaks for itself. I could not put it down. Good thrillers are hard to come by and this one is really great. ππ½
The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides
Β
Just when you thought you figured it out, you realized you jumped the gun and judge it too soon. I literally gasped at this book. 10/10 π
Wrong Place Wrong Time by Gillian McAllister
Β
Cutie book!! It was definitely a good palate cleanser after reading a few intense books. Loved it so much, really had me thinking about it when I wasn't reading it. 10/10 π
The Love of My Afterlife
Β
Absolutely loved this book. Makes you realize just how much history really does repeat itself.
Definitely a different pov with this book. It creeped me out the right amount. It is a bit of a slow read in certain areas, but it's hard to put down. A good read I must say.
Dark Places
Β
Just when you think you figured out the ending, turns out you haven't. A fast read but a great one.
Daughter of Mine
Β
Wow. This book really had me guessing what was actually going on. And the ending?? I was officially creeped out. A well deserved 10/10.
You Shouldn't Have Come Here
Historical Fiction
Β
Obsessed, is an understatement. This book is the reason I absolutely love historical fiction. Never turn down reading a Kate Quinn book!
The Huntress
Β
10/10 π This book was beautifully written! The time jumps were executed perfectly, makes you not want to put it down.
I don't think I've read anything that's seemed so realistic. It was tragic and yet so beautiful.
One True Loves:
Β
Spoiler: I loved that this perfectly shows that women are so capable. I kind of wish she would have followed her freedom and selfishness she had just figured out. Regardless, it was a great ending.
After I Do
Β
10/10, a different kind of ending but beautiful full circle.

Heart Bones
Β
This book is getting it's own movie & I think that says a lot. Can't wait see what Justin & Colleen create with this storyline. π
It Ends with Us
Β
You can't NOT read this book if you read βIt Ends with Usβ.
It Starts with Us
Β
This book starts off as your typical romance book, however a few chapters in and there was questions. It isn't your typical read, at least not for me. Unconventional for sure, but offers a new pov that I'm not opposed to. 10/10 Can't wait to read the...
Maybe Someday
Β
My jaw was on the floor when I read this. 10/10 I- have no words, it's so good. Loved the perspectives it was told through, makes you understand the characters so well without deterring too much from the actual story.
Too Late

10/10 If you're looking for inspiration/motivation this is it!
