This list is comprised of my favorite books, in no particular order.
Some might say it would be difficult to choose when you've read so many books, but when I reread these, I am reminded that's it's really not difficult at all. Each one of these novels undoubtedly deserves it's place.
The Host is a beautiful, frightening story about alien parasites who take over the human race.
When someone lives inside your head, you're bound to get close.
This novel is a breathtaking story of the hardships some women experience in Afghanistan. It's a whirlwind of emotion and I didn't want it to end.
The Glass Castle is about the rather unconventional childhood of author Jeannette Walls (INCREDIBLE woman, read about her and you'll agree).
Fast-paced and full of badassery, Throne of Glass is one of my favorite young adult fantasies.
SWEETNESS. That's all I can say.
A nonfiction memoir, this book reminds me that magic truly does exist. In. Real. Life.
A classic contemporary romance, this book made me laugh and cry all at once. If you haven't read it yet, it's never too late.
I read this book in one sitting. This poetry is pure vunerability. And Rupi Kaur is a queen - so brave and honest and raw. If you haven't seen her Ted Talk, I highly recommend it.
...and who doesn't love Harry Potter?
This was my favorite book in middle school. Who knows how I'd feel about it if I read it now, but my passionate devotion towards it in my younger years earns it a spot on this list.
I literally chased my friend while waving this book in the air, trying to get her to read it. Yeah. I loved it.
