I have always been an avid reader, but booktok revitalized me and reminded me of why I loved books in the first place. I have read 40 books so far in 2023… here are my 5 star picks.I have now added my 5 star books from 2023-2025 to have them all in a condensed space.
The books that made me lose myself. The books that literally changed my life. The must reads for anybody during childhood and early adolescence. I would add on there the Sweet Valley Twins series (NOT the graphic novels which are an abomination, and not even the Sweet Valley High books). Much better than those Baby Sitters books too, IMO. Not every book we read as kids will make this list. Only the worthy will prevail!
As an avid reader, I can recommend books for days. These are my top favorites! I love each of these books for various reasons but all are incredible reads!
Books, gift cards, or setting the perfect reading mood, you'll find any of that on this. The perfect book to read and cultivate the mood to experience the journey with every page turned!

This list brings together books, documentaries, articles, and online resources that explore the lives and legacies of women in American history—some well-known, many long overlooked. I’ve been drawn to this subject for as long as I can remember—not as an activist, but simply as someone who’s always wondered why so many women’s stories seemed left out or undervalued. Over time, I’ve come to realize how understanding women’s roles across generations helps us see American history more fully—and more honestly.
