The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo - Goodreads

This book left me crying and staring at the wall for hours after I finished. Absolute PERFECTION I couldn't recommend it enough (plus it's greek mythology)!!
The Song of Achilles
SUCH a good book. Has a bit of mystery/whodunit vibes, but also has romance and suchhh a good plot.
Where the Crawdads Sing
Thought about this book for weeks after reading it…it's beautiful. Also some fantasy elements for sure, but it's mainly a romance/drama.
The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue - Barnes & Noble
If you liked the show, you'll LOVE the book (I prefer the book, personally, but the show is still amazing).
Daisy Jones & The Six: A Novel
This book takes time to ease into, but once you do, the story is SO good. There are romance elements, a bit of mystery, historical events, and a lot of back-and-forth timelines that make it a really enthralling read once you get to know the character...
The Lake House: A Novel - amazon.com
Mystery + Thriller
Edge of your seat, nail biters.
Could not put this book down. Twists and turns everywhere and takes you through a huge emotional rollercoaster.
Then She Was Gone: A Novel: Jewell, Lisa
Okay…SO GOOD. You have to read this before the movie comes out!!
The Housemaid
Lisa Jewell just knows what she's doing when it comes to thrillers. Very suspenseful read!
The Night She Disappeared
The only Colleen Hoover book I have read; she kind of ate with this one I won't lie. Very very suspenseful!
Verity
Creepy!! Some supernatural elements with a really eerie plot and some great twists! Also has kind of spooky pictures throughout which add to the storyline really well.
Hidden Pictures: A Novel - Jason Rekulak - Barnes & Noble
Fantasy
When reality isn't quite doing it for ya
Literally ALL-CONSUMING lol. I didn't want to go with the grain and read it because of tiktok, but I finally gave in and I am SO glad I did.
A Court of Thorns and Roses, Book 1
I'm sorry…THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT? THE PLOT?? THE ACTION??? This book completely consumed me from start to finish. 1000000/10.
A Court of Mist and Fury (Book 2)
Dare I say….the best book in the series? I actually can't decide between this one and the second one but this one has the most INSANE action scenes and you just continue to fall in love with the characters you grew to love in the second book. SO SO g...
A Court of Wings and Ruin (Book 3)
I have been told that this is just a little filler book that doesn't even need to be read before you move on to the fifth book, but I disagree! Not only does it catch you up on what all your favorite characters are up to, but it also has some really ...
A Court of Frost and Starlight
This series is actually really good! I haven't heard too much about it but I read all three books and they definitely captured my attention. LOTS of twists, turns, magic and some romance sprinkled throughout!
Caraval (Caraval Series #1) by Stephanie Garber, Paperback
One word: WHOLESOME. I adore this storyline it's too cute.
The House in the Cerulean Sea
I realllyyyy enjoyed this book. It's like a *very* dark version of Alice in Wonderland and the storyline is so unique and out-of-the-box. I don't know about the other versions, but the hardcover version I got also had some really cool illustrations t...
Neverwhere: A Novel by Neil Gaiman
Non-fiction
Life-changing reads
Changed my life and entire way of thinking. A must-read for anyone and everyone!!
A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life’s Purpose
Simple yet IMPACTFUL read. Perfect for people just getting into self-help/non-fiction books.
The Four Agreements: A Guide to Freedom
Historical Fiction
NOT BORING I PROMISE
One of the best books I think I've ever read. It takes place during WWII and the story is told from the perspective of death. It's both heartbreaking and heartwarming! LOVE IT.
The Book Thief
Read this in high school for english class and REALLY liked it. I would definitely read it again today just to enjoy and not write essays to go with it haha
The Kite Runner
Sci-Fi
Futuristic dystopias and tons of action
Read all the hunger games books when I was 11 years old and they're still so good to me. ICONIC and also super twisted and crazy
The Hunger Games
Hunger games prequel: president snow's origin story!! The movie did NOTTT do this book justice; the book is 1000x better.
The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes
