one of my favorite books for a reason! im in love with this book.
Jane Eyre
dark academia at its finest: intoxicating prose, morally ambiguous characters, and this constant tension that makes you feel like something is slightly off, even in the most beautiful moments. you don’t read this book just for the plot—you read it fo...
The Secret History
dark, philosophical, unforgettable. this isn’t just a story about guilt—it’s a dive into the tormented mind of someone trying to justify the unjustifiable.
Crime and Punishment
full of vulnerability, hunger, doubt, and fire, it shows you the raw, unfiltered plath, the woman behind the poems. a must for creatives and journalers.
The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath
it’s one of those unforgettable stories that has everything—revenge, love, betrayal, and crazy twists you don’t see coming. you'll get hooked by the plot, but stay for the emotional depth and the clever way everything ties together. honestly, it’s on...
The Count of Monte Cristo
this book doesn’t hold your hand or try to be inspirational. it just exists in that space of quiet despair, female rage, and emotional emptiness while still being sharply written and a bit unhinged in the best way. you won’t find redemption or healin...
My Year of Rest and Relaxation: A Novel
the kind of book that doesn’t just stay with you—it haunts you.
The Bell Jar

if you’ve ever finished a book feeling like you understood everything and nothing at the same time—The Fall is exactly that.
it’s just one man speaking the entire time, confessing his life story to a stranger in a bar in amsterdam. but the more he ta...
The Fall
if the earth could speak, this is what she would whisper.
Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge and the Teachings of Plants
it's not exactly comforting, but it's hauntingly relatable. one of those books that lingers in your mind long after you finish it.
No Longer Human
not plot-heavy, but soul-heavy. you don’t read Mrs Dalloway for what happens, you read it for what it feels like.
Mrs. Dalloway: The Virginia Woolf Library Authorized Edition
this book isn’t just about a woman making “bad choices”—it’s about desire, dissatisfaction, and the quiet suffocation of being a woman told to settle. flaubert’s writing is rich, cutting, and deeply emotional in its restraint. it's painfully relatabl...
Madame Bovary
if you love books that are haunting, beautiful, and make you think about the shadows inside us all, this one will stay with you long after you close it.
The Picture of Dorian Gray
