A list of books I've read and loved and are always recommending to my friends for their next read.

Here is an always growing list of books that I picked up and couldn't put down until I was done.

You can find My all time favorite books here! Big Emily Henry, Elsie Silver, Lucy Score lover here.

My goal is to read and listen to more books this year! Here is what I’ve read in 2025 so far! Im loving me some romance, thrillers and anything that keeps me on the edge of my seat! I’m also open to suggestions on similar books to read! 🥰

Whether you’re a mom, teacher, sibling, or friend, these are books I highly recommend adding to a child’s library! 📚 Each one shares meaningful stories that highlight and celebrate children from all kinds of backgrounds — a wonderful way to teach inclusivity, empathy, and the joy of reading. Everything can be found on Amazon!

These are the books I most treasure. As long as I live, I will always re-read them. I have read each title over 3 times, from cover to cover; some at least 5-6 times! These stories touch my heart in different ways! They evoke feelings I love to experience time and time again.

I looooove me a thriller, a crime novel (police procedural or not), a fast-paced intriguing read. Here a some recs if you're looking for something new on your read list! :) (This list is tailored with links for Canadian residents! Find the US links version in another list of the same name in my profile!)

I have traveled the earth, braved the seven seas and walked through every desert to provide this list of romantasy books where women shine, rule empires and show there is more than one way to be strong, to live a fulfilled life. Best believe there will be political intrigue, slow burn, and yearning. I repeat! Yearning! Take a seat, grab a cup of tea… and make yourself comfortable. This is about to get interesting.

My favorite romance novels for all my fellow romance girlies!! Written by all of my favorite Authors.

I judge books on how fast they make me want to read them so just know when I make a recommendation I truly think it will keep you on the edge of your seat 📚🖋️ Don’t worry I’ll include the spice level for some 🌶️👀

Check out these books and pick one up to read. I’m only recommending the ones that had a big impact on me in the best ways! Sometimes we all need to take a break on reality and immerse ourselves in a fantastic book. 📚✨💫

These are the books that changed something in me. They made me rethink how I live, how I love, and how I move through the world. Some are deeply philosophical, others wildly practical, but each one shifted my perspective in a lasting way. If you're looking for thought-provoking reads that stick with you, this list is for you.

I have a podcast where we talk books, but I'm also a little bookworm. Let me know if there are novels you recommend!

Love Greek mythology but want something fresh and modern? These retellings bring ancient legends to life with powerful women, flawed gods, epic romance, and dark twists. Whether you’re into feminist takes, tragic heroes, or steamy love stories, these books reimagine the classics in ways that are bold, emotional, and completely addictive.

Not going to lie to you! I read mostly suspense books. I love a book that has you on your toes till the end! Check out my fave reads! Maybe you will need one for a summer trip! I know there is audible and books to read on your tablet. But reading a paper book is so much more romantical. I will never see it any other way!

Books featuring female characters with mental health struggles. If you relate to these struggles, you see yourself represented in fantastic literature. If you don’t, you learn about something you didn’t understand and that is hard to understand without either living it or getting the sort of look into it that you do in books like these.

This is for the dreamers who wish to escape into another world!

Jewish books! Recs for people starting to explore Judaism as well as folks looking for deep dives into specific topics.

Some of my 5 star reads! As someone who loves to engage with emotionally devastating literature, here are some of my top picks. I love books that explore grief, familial relationships, and expand one’s empathy - which is where I think a lot of these really shine. I love books with a romance subplot, which you will find in most of these recs. This is a mix of some of my favorite genres spanning literary fiction, historical fiction, fantasy, romance, and memoirs. I hope you can find something to love in each of these, even if exploring reads outside of your comfort zone!

To read so hard it feels as though you entered the romantic world of y/n… that's what these books make you feel ;)

Things that actually helped my son with reading and writing in a fun, engaging way.

These are the books that changed my life whether by teaching me some lesson or helping me understand what I was going through or giving me practical advice for getting through day to day tasks like school and chores. I believe in the power of both fiction and non fiction books to change lives and I believe these will change yours

With over 1,000 books in my collection, I think it’s safe to say I’m qualified to recommend your next read (and maybe a few you didn’t know you needed). I read at the pace the plot demands—whether it’s a slow burn or a can’t-sleep-until-it’s-finished kind of story. Expect everything from war novels and creative nonfiction to twisty mysteries and the occasional swoony romance (just not sci-fi—we don’t vibe). If you’re into strong plots, unexpected turns, and books that stay with you, welcome to the shelf.

Dreamy leather-bound books are a must-have on my bookshelf – though I’ve found that high-quality ones can be hard to come by in stores here in the UK. Thankfully, they’re usually available online and are the perfect touch to any home library. Links for both waterstones and barnes and noble for both the UK and US girls.

I have read A LOT of fantasy books throughout my life and these fantasy books are the perfect mixture of intrigue, politics, betrayal, characters, and (sometimes) romance.

I fell in love with Ozzy Osbourne and his music, his persona and his family when I was 14 years old. Now that I'm in my fifties, my love for him and his music has only grown stronger.
