items I have always been a reader ever since I was young, from getting certificates in 4th grade for reading 2 million words to now, I almost always go for Young Adult fantasy or romance books. I've read a few historical fiction books during the years, but...

Romance
This book was so cute, and the main characters inner monologues were so accurate to how teenagers think about relationships. No smut in this one!
Better Than the Movies
This is another good one! I love the dynamic of enemies to lovers, and the science lingo is a good addition and helps to build character. If you like spice, this is a good option
Love on the Brain
This book is adorable, and it is a classic enemies to lovers! I love the nerd rivalry that the main characters have going on
Today Tonight Tomorrow
I loved these books! Reading the books made me way more invested in the show since I knew all of the small details that the show did not discuss
The Summer I Turned Pretty Trilogy (Boxed Set)
This book is adorable, and I enjoyed it way more than Beach Read. This book sucks you in from the very beginning
People We Meet on Vacation
I loved how realistic Emilie's reaction was to be living the same day over and over! There is only a few kissing sections and a good little bit of curse words, but if you don't mind that, this is a quick and easy read
The Do-Over
I enjoyed this more than “Love on the Brain”! I loved the dynamic between the characters more, and I also enjoyed the personality of them just a tiny bit more. Overall, the writing is very similar and the settings are not that different (both STEM gi...
The Love Hypothesis
This book is much better than the movie! I loved how the characters came together despite the medical roadblocks of the protagonist
Everything, Everything
This book is so, so cute and I absolutely loved it. The characters and their roles to each other were so interesting (if not slightly unrealistic), but I was kicking my feet every page of this book
Practice Makes Perfect: A Novel
I just finished this book recently and I read it in less than 2 days. This book has taken me out of my reading slump! It is a classic fake-dating romance book, but the circumstances that the characters are in make it so much better. The mental health...
Yours Truly
This book is 100x better than the movie (I was honestly disappointed when I watched it after reading the book). There are so many little details and after getting settled into the book, I loved the extra POVs and minor characters
The Sun Is Also a Star
Fantasy
This was such a fun read as someone who loves the Star Wars movies. It was so cool to read the perspectives of the characters we watched and loved in the third prequel
Star Wars, Episode III: Revenge of the Sith
I adore this series, and I wish that I could read it for the first time again! Carden was such a good character, and I loved his development. The enemies to lovers trope was so good, and the twist at the end of the second book was jaw-dropping
The Folk of the Air Complete Paperback Boxed Set
I have only read the first book in the series, and I haven't had time to read the rest. However, this book lived up to all of the hype! The worldbuilding was phenomenal. Can you tell I like an enemies to lovers trope?
Fourth Wing (The Empyrean, 1)
I did not expect to like this book as much as I did! The protagonist is strong and intelligent, and she is a great main character for any woman reading this book. I loved the world-building
Woven in Moonlight
This is a wonderful book set in a sci-fi themed world. The characters are so unique and their talents/powers are very interesting. I love how the characters learn that they aren't that different at all.
Carve the Mark (Carve the Mark, 1)
This was such a cool book, I've never read anything like it! It is almost like a mix of My Life with the Walter Boys and Encanto? That makes no sense, but I guess you'll just have to find out why for yourself!
A Constellation of Roses
I've not yet finished this series, I'm about halfway through, but it is so good and lives up to the hype! Feyre is a strong protagonist, and I won't give spoilers, but her love interest is also amazing
A Court of Thorns and Roses Paperback Set (5)
I read this book when I was younger but I cannot get myself to get rid of it! I got so attached to the story and the characters. I had no idea there was even a sequel until I uploaded this! I love books that have magic in it, and trust me, this has p...
Circle of Shadows (Circle of Shadows, 1)
How could I have a book list and not mention Harry Potter? These books are a time committment for sure, but if you have not read them you need to get on it! Luckily for you, I've provided a handy-dandy link to ALL of the books
Harry Potter Paperback Box Set (Books 1-7)
The book series is sooo much better than the movies, ESPECIALLY the second and third. I haven't read “Four”, but I can confidently say that I prefer the ending of the book Allegiant than the movie ending (if you know what I mean)
Divergent Series Paperback Box Set
General Fiction
This was a pleasant, easy read. I like the high schooler lingo and mindset since I graduated a year ago
Suggested Reading
This book is FANTASTIC. It is so meaningful and has the characters face real-world problems. I love that their issues are so different, yet that difference brings them together
The Edge of Anything
I read this in high school not expecting to like it because it was a required read. I was so surprised when I loved this book! It has such a good message, I enjoyed the writing style, and I think that everyone NEEDS to read this at least once. It's r...
Fahrenheit 451
This is another book that I feel like most people should read at least once (if you like dystopian books). It's a classic, action-packed, and has great worldbuilding and character development. Definitely read the series if you like the first one!
The Hunger Games (Book 1)
Another school-required book that is absolutely worth the read. The message that this book tells is so applicable to today's world, and it's another book that everyone must read at least once. It is so eye opening and will make you think about things...
1984
Mystery
I could not put this book down! It is a cool mix of murder mystery and sirens (with a dabble of romance). I swear I stayed up all night to finish this book
Songs from the Deep
This mystery thriller was so, so good and I could not put it down. I loved the dynamics between the characters, and the embedded images really hooked me
Hidden Pictures
Historical Fiction
I've read this book over and over and love it every time! It is the first historical fiction book that I have loved. There is a bit of forbidden romance that brings a good lightheartedness to the dark history that this book discusses.
The Fountains of Silence
Non-Fiction
I read this book in high school, but I loved it. Jeannette Walls is such a talented writer, and the style is so personable. It really feels like she is talking directly to you. Her story is so inspiring as well
The Glass Castle: A Memoir
Poetry
This is a super long poem, and I read about 800 lines of it during a Summer camp and LOVED it! We analyzed every single line and it was amazing. This is such a classic read, and it was so interesting to read in the perspective of Satan instead of God...
Paradise Lost (Penguin Classics)
