items I have been a lover of books since I could read, but with less time in adulthood, you need to be sure of your recommendations. Here are some of the ones I would read over and over again!
I haven’t finished this one yet but I have been listening to the audiobook NON STOP. Magic grad school sounds way more fun than irl grad school 😂 or at least, more adventurous. Dying to keep reading this one, and these sprayed edges are absolutely b...
Katabasis (Deluxe Limited Edition)
One of my absolute favorite books recently! Laughed, cried, couldn’t put it down
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller, Paperback
2
This book kept me on the edge of my seat the WHOLE TIME. I was watching the clock in my classes waiting to be able to keep reading this. A tale of escaping a hostage situation told from the POV of multiple parts of the narrator’s life leading up to t...
The Girls I've Been
The sequel to “The Girls I’ve Been,” The Girl in Question leads you on a fated journey, where only one group can make it out alive. Unlike its prequel, which is only told from the perspective of one narrator, this book clearly switches between multip...
The Girl in Question

From Here to Eternity: Travelling the World

Braiding Sweetgrass
This book made me SOB so much, but it is such a raw, real perspective on life from the point of view of a young girl with cancer. I read this over 10 years ago and was one of very few books I brought to college with me. Absolutely amazing read
This Star Won't Go Out: Life & Words of Esther Earl
One of my favorites for younger readers. A story about first loves, losses, and figuring out who you are. This book has made me cry and laugh and sometimes both at the same time, but it’s beautifully written and John Green knows how to tug on your em...
Looking for Alaska : Green, John
All I can say about this one is: wow. It’s raw and real and has you laughing one second and sobbing the next. Really reminds you that you never know what’s going on in someone’s life, and sometimes people who seem so happy are hiding a world of pain,...
I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy, Hardcover
I mean… toxic lesbian vampires, women grasping for power in a patriarchal society, all in the context of a period piece (or really, 3), how can you go wrong? Need to give this one a second read through soon.
Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil by V. E. Schwab, Hardcover
