This is a book that immediately catches your interest from the first page. It’s laugh out loud funny, but also as the title would suggest a bit dark. The characters are dynamic and they immediately suck you into the story. Also, at 200 pages it’s not...
My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite, Paperback
I got this book the day after it came out and I had never watched love island so I was a little worried I wouldn’t like it. I ended up reading it in a day and a half. It gave me all the nostalgia of my favorite dystopian tales over the years but with...
The Compound (GMA Book Club Pick) by Aisling Rawle, Hardcover
Reading has been proven to make us more empathetic and I think this a book that does just that. If you are looking to get out some emotion, or want to feel every feeling there is to feel back to back— over and over read this book! Plus, reading gives...

Omg, what a whimsical, magical experience this story was to read! To then turn around and make you think so deeply about so many things by the end. The writing is beautiful and lulls you through life as it’s being lived in the story. Impressive cons...
Piranesi (Women's Prize for Fiction Winner) by Susanna Clarke, Paperback
Sci-Fi Favs
This is such a good book! I live with my fair share of bad memories and have thought about how nice it could be if I just didn’t have to remember them. Well this really turns that idea on its head in a way that gets you thinking. If you had memories ...

I love this book so much! I went into menopause early due to POI so my early 20s I was in perimenopause. So if you’re nearing that change or if you’re going through it you will find so many things in this book hilarious. Even if you aren’t you’ll cat...
