items There is no better feeling that becoming lost in a good book. These are the books that I thought about for weeks after finishing (and still think about). I'm jealous of anyone reading these for the first time!

Literary Fiction
Classics with an incredible plot that will take you on a journey
My favorite book of all time. Forever and ever. It's a classic for a reason, and it's just as relevant today as it was when it was written.
To Kill a Mockingbird (Pulitzer Prize Winner)|Paperback
WWII historical fiction is one of my favorite sub-genres and no one does historical fiction better than Kristin Hannah. This book will simultaneously tear you apart and put you back together.
The Nightingale|Paperback
This book reminded me why I love reading. I love being able to walk in someone else's shoes who is so different from me. This book will be studies in English class for decades to come.
Demon Copperhead (Pulitzer Prize Winner)|Paperback
Thriller/Mystery
The definition of page-turners
If you know, you know. This book keeps you on your toes and has so many twists and turns. I could not stop thinking about this book.
The Silent Patient|Paperback
A whodunnit mystery that keeps you guessing. This story has an inspiring side to it that is not very common in thrillers!
The Dry|Paperback
An absolute classic. Another book I think about all the time. Even if you've seen the movie, it's worth it to read the book (and all the others)!
The Da Vinci Code|Hardcover
Romance
It's a love story, baby, just say yes!
Emily Henry is one of my favorite authors for Romance because it's still plot-driven and just the right amount of spice! Beach Read is my #1 because of I love the characters so much.
Beach Read|Paperback
One of the best books of 2025. I love TJR and I thought nothing could top Seven Husbands...but this one might have taken the top spot.
Atmosphere: A Love Story (GMA Book Club Pick)|Hardcover
I love Carley Fortune's style. I prefer a Romance novel that is still plot-driven with a little bit of spice, and this delivered! I devoured this book.
Meet Me at the Lake|Paperback
Non-Fiction
Step into someone else's shoes and learn about the world
This is one of those books that I read years ago and think about ALL. THE. TIME. This opened my eyes to a lifestyle that I was unaware of, and it truly changed the way I view the world.
Educated: A Memoir|Paperback
I feel like this book should be required reading. I love Malcolm Gladwell; he teaches through stories in a way that is so captivating.
Talking to Strangers: What We Should Know about the People We Don't Know|Paperback
Another book that should be required reading. Warning: you will bawl your eyes out and feel infuriated by the racism in our criminal justice system!
Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption|Paperback
