Books That Ripped My Heart Out
7
items As a reader by hobby and a librarian by trade, I do feel particularly well placed to recommend books, if I do say so myself. But really if I can put even one book I loved into the hands of another, I will always be happy.
I can't even put into words the way this book makes my skin buzz. Lily King's writing style gets in your brain and I will be devouring her entire body of work.
Writers & Lovers by Lily King
I read this before Writers & Lovers without knowing the connection between the two, and I can't really say which way is the “right” way to read them, but I'm happy I did it my way. Either way these two books will be staying in my heart and mind f...

The Names by Florence Knapp
I'll be upfront, I would love this book no matter what by virtue of it being written by John Green. But my love for the author aside, this book is a work of art. You will learn so much and you will cry even more. This is a perfect book.
The Anthropocene Reviewed: Essays on a Human-Centered Planet by John Green
I really didn't know what I was getting myself into here, and I wouldn't change a thing. Austin's writing is so beautifully vulnerable and achingly real.
We Could Be Rats by Emily Austin
I read this duology years ago and it haunts me to this day. These characters got in my bloodstream and I still think about them often. The Hunger Games but darker and with magic. Be prepared to get hurt.
All of Us Villains by Amanda Foody & C. L. Herman
I wish I knew what kind of drugs Bright put in this duology to make it feel so indispensable to me. I would read this every month if I had the time. There's never a time a part of my brain isn't thinking about this book. Let it tear you down and buil...
The Beholder by Anna Bright
