items Only my favorite reads make this list. These are the books I couldn't put down or stop thinking about once they were finished, no matter the genre.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - Beautiful moving story that kept me guessing the whole time. Loved the themes of family, grief and conservation. Highly recommend!
Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- Everything I want in a thriller. I love Lisa Jewell’s writing and this book was another 5 star for me. I could not put it down!
None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell
⭐️⭐️⭐️- My first Fredrik Backman book. I enjoyed the way he wrote his characters and his overall writing style. Felt the ending dragged on a little but will definitely read more of his books in the future!
Anxious People by Fredrik Backman
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- great read! Looking forward to the movie adaptation.
Remarkably Bright Creatures: A Read with Jenna Pick
4 Stars- The best thrillers are the ones I can't put down. This one kept me reading past my bedtime!
The Tenant: McFadden, Freida - Books
I'm not a huge sci-fi reader but this was a great story. I felt like the ending let me down the tiniest bit but overall 4 stars. Looking forward to seeing the movie when it releases!
Project Hail Mary: A Novel by Andy Weir
Five Stars- This was such an interesting premise. A bit of sci-fi, a bit of thriller. I was fascinated for the whole thing.
The One by John Marrs
Four Stars- This was my first Elin Hildebrand book. I feel like her covers do not match the story-in the best way possible. The story was mature and thoughtful and I really enjoyed it.
The Five-Star Weekend by Elin Hilderbrand
Five stars- I see some people on line saying they didn't like this book but I totally did. I thought it was beautiful and I still think about it even after reading it months ago!
The Wedding People by Alison Espach
4.5 stars- I know a lot of people give this one 5 stars but for me it was a 4.5. However I read it months ago and I still remember it more than books I have read more recently, so maybe it really was a 5. Don't read it if you don't want to cry though...
The Nightingale: A Novel - Hannah, Kristin: Books
4 stars- Slow to start but then I couldn't put it down. Good for readers that enjoy heartfelt, layered, character driven stories.
The Sideways Life of Denny Voss by Holly Kennedy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This book was so good. I blew through it and loved the story.
The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett
