The Light We Carry:Overcoming in Uncertain Times - by Michelle Obama (Paperback)
Mindy is a very inspiring woman, and this book was laugh-out-loud funny. She played Kelly in The Office and was the creator of one of my all-time favorite comedy TV shows on Netflix, Never Have I Ever. This book of essays shares her journey in the TV...

One of my all time favorite classics. Edith Wharton writes in an emotional and evocative way. You'll definitely keep thinking about this story once it ends!
The Age of Innocence - by Edith Wharton (Paperback)
I've read this one twice, once alone and the other time for a book club. I also watched and loved the TV adaptation with Reese Whitherspoon and Kerry Washington. This story is heartbreaking, thought-provoking and never ceases to amaze me! Please let ...
Little Fires Everywhere - Reprint by Celeste Ng (Paperback)
I recommend all books written by Taylor Jenkins Reid, but this is my favorite one. The 70s time period, the glamorous clothes and the music industry and rock and roll setting just do it for me! The push and pull dynamic between main characters Billy ...
Daisy Jones & The Six By Taylor Jenkins Reid - By Taylor Jenkins Reid ( Paperback )
The plot twist at the end blew my mind so much that I immediately started reading again from the beginning to try and notice the clues. The TV adaptation is good, but the book is definitely better
We Were Liars: Deluxe Edition - by E Lockhart (Paperback)
The We Were Liars prequel, set decades before. It's just as good as the original, and there aren't many prequels that can say the same thing!
Family of Liars: Deluxe Edition - (We Were Liars) by E Lockhart (Paperback)
My first time reading a book by Kristin Hannah and I fell completely in love with her writing! I watched the Netflix TV adaptation before reading the book, but I recommend reading it first if you haven't watched it yet. This is a heartwarming story a...
