Self Help Books
I'm not that into self-help books, but I can truly say these are worth the read
It's popular for a reason, thats all I have to say.
Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones
Fantasy Books
Fantasy my love, I will literally die for you!
This series single-handedly shaped who I am as a person today
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
Currently re-reading this and I fear it is even better the second time around:)
Shadow and Bone Series by Leigh Bardugo
The years that Tolkien spent on developing this immersive world is extremely evident in his writing. And I constantly wish that I can re-read this for the first time!
Lord of the Rings by J.R.R Tolkien
THIS BOOK RIGHT HERE
The Cruel Prince (The Folk of the Air, #1) by Holly Black
I'm not usually one to read heavy romance but this book changed that!
Serpent & Dove by Shelby Mahurin
I am very patiently waiting for my reading slump to end again so I can DEVOUR this series again (its a core memory for me)
The Spook's Apprentice by Joseph Delaney
THIS SERIES RIGHT HERE!!! I cannot recommend this enough! I swear to you, everyone who has read this only has FANTASTIC things to say about it (me included; I absolutely ADORE this series)
Skulduggery Pleasant Series by Derek Landy
If you call yourself a book-nerd (and happen to be into fantasy) and have not read this, I dont believe you!
The Chronicles of Narnia: 7 Books in 1 Paperback
I had this book in my TBR for the LONGEST time, and when I finally got around to it, I regretted that i hadnt started it sooner!
An Ember in the Ashes #1 - Sabaa Tahir
I was OBSESSED with this when I first started the series…then I wasn't. I don't like Clary's character (love the side characters tho) BUT its extremely well written, and I know a great deal of people LOVE it.
City of Bones (The Mortal Instruments, #1) - by Cassandra Clare
Again, I LOVED this when I first started reading it, but very quickly was turned off of it (Read the first book or 2, they are bangers!). I love how Sarah J. Maas writes, just not WHAT she rights. BUT, you might love it just like the thousands of peo...
Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J. Maas
I love dark fantasy, gore and ‘abnormal’ ideas. I love Tim Burton and his style/concepts. I love this book. Need I say more?
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children
Sci-Fi Books
Who doesn't love a good, dark dystopia? I know I do!
Good book. Good movie. Good story.
Ready Player One: A Novel : Cline, Ernest
This book unlocked a whole new world of stories for me
Wilder Girls by Rory Power
Thriller/Horror
My absolute favourite movie genre, and top 3 in books. Trust me, these are going to send shivers down your spine!
If you're not big on reading, you could watch the movie and I have to say that I enjoyed it (the book is SOOOO much better though!)
Pet Sematary by Stephen King
Mystery
I love a good mystery, especially when it involves murder. Can you tell I love true crime?
This is the book that got me back into reading after a nearly 2-year long slump where I physically could not read a single book! Its easy to read, the story is compelling and its Anthony Horowitz!!!!
The Word is Murder (Hawthorne & Horowitz, #1)
Second book in the series did not disappoint! Absoluetly loved every page of this and finished it in a day hehe
The Sentence is Death (Hawthorne & Horowitz, #2)
