I’m always getting asked for book recommendations, so I put all my favorites in one place. This list includes a mix of genres and categories, all books I personally enjoyed or found meaningful. From reads that made me think to ones I couldn’t put dow...

romance 💖

These romance reads made me feel everything: the slow burns, the chemistry, and the emotional moments that live rent-free in my head. Whether you want something cozy or intense, these are my go-to recommendations

One thing about me is that I will always read and love an Emily Henry book! Her writing is amazing and her characters feel like real people with real problems. I like to think of her books as women fiction rather than romance because her books are so...

Book Lovers

6 star read -- this is one of my favorite romances ever!! Let me just paste in the last paragraph of my Goodreads review: I can't give enough compliments to miss Abby, she's been one of my favorite authors for the last few years. I definitely want to...

Just for the Summer

mystery/thriller 👻

This section is for the books I couldn’t stop thinking about and definitely couldn’t put down. Twisty plots, suspenseful pacing, and stories that kept me guessing until the very last page

This story was a rollercoaster! Alice Feeney is a great mystery/thriller author, especially if you're new to the genre. There are always so many twists and turns that it makes the reading experience fly by. This is one of my favorites by her, highly ...

Rock Paper Scissors

fantasy 🐉

These are the fantasy books that fully pulled me out of reality. Rich worlds, strong characters, and stories that stuck with me long after I finished. Perfect if you love immersive escapes and a little (or a lot of) magic!

one of my favorite fantasy series ever, which is saying something considering it’s a duology. i read this series almost a year ago at this point and i still think about the story and characters all the time!! 4.5 ⭐️

The Crimson Moth Series by Kristen Ciccarelli

Another one of my favorite duologies ever! You'll fall in love with the characters and it's just an overall fun, heist story. It helps a tad to read the Shadow & Bone series first, but you don't have to whatsoever. This is a 6 star read for me!!

Six of Crows Boxed Set: Six of Crows & Crooked Kingdom

This was a great trilogy! I didn't enjoy it as much as Six of Crows, but the world was very engaging and interesting. They're a little slow, but I think that the story is worth it. Overall, a 3.5 star series for me!

Shadow and Bone Trilogy Boxed Set

I really liked this series! While it is YA and read kind of young, the world and storyline were so interesting. I enjoyed the characters and flew through the whole series in about a month. Definitely grab these if you want a quick and easy but intric...

Shatter Me Series 9-Book Set by Tahereh Mafi

general fiction 🌎

This category is a mix of thoughtful, character-driven stories that don’t fit neatly into one genre. These are books I connected with on a deeper level and still think about long after finishing!

This is one of my favorite books of all time! I read it and watched the movie for the first time in middle school, and I still try to reread it once a year. It's a beautiful coming of age story about mental health and friendship. 6 star read for me!!

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

This is the most important book I've ever read & I have a feeling I'll never forget it. I'll always be thinking about the importance of its message, the relevancy of it today, and how ahead of his time Ray Bradbury was when writing it. Please rea...

Fahrenheit 451

memoirs 📝

These memoirs are honest, personal, and impactful. Each one offered a new perspective or made me reflect on my own experiences, the kind of books that stay with you and make you see things differently

i absolutely loved my experience reading this book. while i don’t rate memoirs, this is one of my favorites i’ve read. i highly recommend listening to the audio as well — she’s the narrator!!

I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
