A Court of Thorns and Roses Box Set

I LOVE how one series (ACOTAR) led me to two other series (Throne of Glass and Crescent City) that I have to read before the 6th ACOTAR book comes out! Some is always borrowing the books I've already read so they can be immersed in this story as well...

Origin by Dan Brown

The one that I read in the wrong order, but still LOVED!

Angels and Demons by Dan Brown

Young Adult (Middle School and Up)

Don't let the “young adult” label make you think these aren't enjoyable by adults too! I taught middle school for 8 years and am so sad adults don't read this genre cause they are missing out!

This book is what caused my love for historical fiction. She's the "seeker of lost stories" and I learn so much from her engaging, page turning, stories. You haven't read until you've read her books.

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

ALL of her books are amazing and can't make anyone love historical fiction. The "seeker of lost stories" has done it again. "Madrid, 1957. Under the fascist dictatorship of General Francisco Franco, Spain is hiding a dark secret."

The Fountains of Silence by Ruta Sepetys

"It’s 1950, and as the French Quarter of New Orleans simmers with secrets, seventeen-year-old Josie Moraine is silently stirring a pot of her own. Known among locals as the daughter of a brothel prostitute, Josie wants more out of life than the Big E...

Out of the Easy by Ruta Sepetys

Did you think the Titanic was the worst sea disaster fatality wise? Yeah, me too until I read this. "World War II is drawing to a close in East Prussia and thousands of refugees are on a desperate trek toward freedom, many with something to hide. Amo...

Salt to the Sea by Ruta Sepetys

"Romania, 1989. Communist regimes are crumbling across Europe. Seventeen-year-old Cristian Florescu dreams of becoming a writer, but Romanians aren’t free to dream; they are bound by rules and force. Amidst the tyrannical dictatorship of Nicolae Cea...

I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys

Set over the course of one school year in 1986, this is the story of two star-crossed misfits-smart enough to know that first love almost never lasts, but brave and desperate enough to try. When Eleanor meets Park, you'll remember your own first love...

Eleanor & Park: A Novel by Rainbow Rowell

LOVED this fun and cute series!
