I have lots of books in my classroom library. But there are always books that students just have to read - these are the books that my students just love!
Picture this: it’s a quiet, earl fall evening, the couch looks delightful, and staying in with a riveting novel sounds like the perfect way to spend the night. Sure, a night out with your gals or other half is a great way to spend the night, but whether you’re in your single era or simply crave a night to yourself, there’s no reason romance can’t be on the table for you tonight. That’s why a spicy book is just what the doctor ordered. And if you’re looking for a vetted rec, you’ve come to the right place. I’m a huge fan of spicy books. There, I said it. Whether I’m on my couch, my bed, or even at my local coffee shop, I love a few sweat-inducing scenes—or even chapters full of devious things sure to keep my heart rate up

These are books you’ll find yourself losing track of time with, and you surely won’t want to put them down!
This collection of books are great for the parents of highly sensitive, spirited, explosive, bold, brave and rambunctious kids.

We are a family of reader! My husband and I enjoy very different genres of books but sometimes find some common ground. My daughter has loved books since she was little and my son is heading on that same path. This list will have book each of us enjoy!
I have always loved to read ever since I was little. I can remember being in school and being in the little reading corner of my classroom or in my school's library every chance I could get to dive into another world. Over the years, I've laughed, I've cried, I've gasped (wayyyyy louder than I probably should at times), and followed the journey of SO many characters. And this is a list of the ones that I loved so much so that I wish I could read them for the first time again because there's nothing like the first time you read a good book! These are great to help stem a love of reading, try a new genre maybe, or get you out of a reading slump! I hope you love them as much as I have!*Note: Always make sure to check any trigger/content warnings before reading any novel. A good story isn't worth your mental health 🫶🏻*
This is a list for the poor, unsuspecting soul I used to be, the one who had no idea what true devastation, joy, or existential panic looked like until these books showed up and stomped all over my life. These are the novels I wish I could read again for the first time, the ones that left me gasping, weeping, cackling, and questioning all of my life choices in roughly that order. Honestly, some of them should come with a warning label: May cause excessive crying in public, sleepless nights, or the sudden urge to throw your phone across the room.
Here lie the books that ruined me, rebuilt me, and then laughed in my face for good measure. The ones where plot twists sneak up on you like a ninja, the characters burrow under your skin, and by the end, you’re certain you’ll never recover, but in the best way possible. If I could hit the reset button on my memory just to feel that first gut-punch of awe and heartbreak again… I would. Without hesitation. Without shame. These are the books that I’d willingly sacrifice my weekend, my sanity, and probably a few brain cells to experience anew. And I’d do it again tomorrow, just for the thrill.
Coloring Books are a wonderful way to unwind after a long day and let your creativity flow. They help with practicing fine motor skills, trying out color combos and overcome art blocks.
