Rom Com

Still one of my favorite rom coms to come back to. I love a slow burn, enemies-to-lovers moment, and I was rooting for and annoyed by both characters equally (in a good way)
Red, White & Royal Blue

One of the sweetest books about a subject I knew nothing about — Renaissance Faires! So much fun and a couple you'll really root for.

Another enemies-to-lovers that I have read and reread. Anytime I want a reminder of the fun and excitement of romance, even if it's more of a “second chance romance”, this is the book I turn to!

Super cute high school enemies to lovers plotline, with a main character who's written with such distinct characteristics you'll feel like you're chatting with a friend

Okay, so I definitely didn't stay up til 2AM reading this because it took me so long, but this is a true page-turner with so many varying plot lines that wonderfully weave together and connect for a satisfying ending.

Note: don't read this in public unless you want to sob in the coffee shop. In this Greek retelling, you'll follow the story of young Patroclus and his friendship with the heroic Achilles.
The Song of Achilles

One of the most enthralling, captivating and, at times, devastating books I've read. Read it years ago and still find myself thinking about it!
Life of Pi

Sci-Fi/Fantasy

In Hank Green's debut, you'll follow the story of a young woman who gets caught up in a viral sensation after documenting a giant sculpture that's appeared out of seemingly nowhere.
An Absolutely Remarkable Thing

Main character Will wakes up one day with 100 accurate and incredibly random predictions in his mind, and throughout the novel, he has to decide what to do with this incredibly powerful knowledge.
