Books That Left Me Staring at the Wall
Jaw on the floor, completely bamboozled. These books broke my brain in one way or another, from horrified to amazed.
I read this book back in 2023 and think about it at least once a month, it’s that f*cked. This was a major page-turner that left me horrified. A dystopian that focuses on societal conformity, capitalism, dehumanization, exploitation, and moral compro...
Tender Is the Flesh - Agustina Bazterrica
A very quick read that left me questioning beliefs and the afterlife, leaving me uneasy and unresolved. A fun combo of horror, fantasy, philosophy, and religion. True hell is being in a massive library and not finding anything to read.
A Short Stay in Hell - Steven L. Peck
Unpredictable twists - definitely what I’d consider a unique psychological horror. A woman experiencing perimenopause struggling with coming of age, hallucinations, gaslighting as well as serial killers and cults. This book gave me whiplash. I highly...
Mary: An Awakening of Terror - Nat Cassidy
Incredibly clever with a surprise ending. This book made me feel tiny and left me contemplating how horrifying infinity is. We see different parallel lives varying based on small life decisions and the impact it has on the main character. This sci-fi...
Dark Matter - Blake Crouch
Uncomfortably Relatable
Books that I personally relate to, from relationships to self-help. These books opened my eyes in aspects of my life, made me reconsider relationships, changed the way I thought.
Relatable, frustrating, sad, raw, hopeful. I went into this thinking it was a romance. WRONG. As someone who’s had her fair share of relationships where I’ve poured love and effort into someone who gives a halfhearted response at the expense of my me...
Adelaide - Genevieve Wheeler
Emotional Damage Included
I’m not sure what to call this section. These books left me with a variety of emotions, happy, fearful, sorrowful, hopeful. Emotional whiplash.
This book left an imprint on my heart and crushed my soul. Every time I think of Syria, I think of this book. Full of love, loss, survival, hope, this book pulled at my nurse heartstrings. The protagonist, an aspiring pharmacist turned emergency medi...
As Long as the Lemon Trees Grow - Zoulfa Katouh
Love Stories Worth Falling For
I’m not always a fan of love stories but this friends-to-lovers trope really got me. It’s sweet, somewhat predictable, a great summer beach read and palate cleanser. I’m a grump and this book had me in tears.
People We Meet on Vacation - Emily Henry
