TOP 10
Here is a list of 10 of my favourite books!
01
Pride and Prejudice - Jane Austen
Sounds like a cliche, but it's a classic! It has everything I look for in a romance; banter, tension, and Mr. Darcy!
02
Burial Rites - Hannah Kent
Dark, unnerving, and utterly heartbreaking. Kent's exploration of Agnes Magnúsdóttir's last days will haunt you.
03
The Mortal Instruments Series - Cassandra Clare
Fantasy, Demons, and Romance? Right up my alley! I'm a sucker for a fun YA adventure.
04
Survivor Type - Stephen King
This is actually a short story, not a novel or series. It's a visceral look at isolation and starvation. If you get queasy easily, I would not recommend it for you!
05
The Shiver Trilogy - Maggie Stiefvater
A unique take on the werewolf trope, Maggie creates a world that feels cold, even to the reader, and only the heat of two lovers can keep us warm.
06
The House of Night Series - P.C and Kristin Cast
A blending of vampires and witches, the Cast duo quickly envelop readers into the House of Night.
07
Daughter of Smoke and Bone Series - Laini Taylor
Laini strips the star-crossed demon and angel loves YA trope and makes it into something new. What? You'll have to read it and find out.
08
The Hunger Games - Suzanne Collins
Ignoring the pain from your younger years and insane hype, these books really do have something positive to offer! Suzanne's masterful telling of trauma, war, grief, and healing is what makes the novels for me.
09
The Handmaid's Tale - Margaret Atwood
In an age where we are supposed to be progressing, this book has more meaning than ever. Margaret Atwood wrote a world that should seem absurd, but it doesn't - and that's what's frightening.
10
The Vampire Academy Series - Richelle Mead
One of the initial fantasy series' that introduced me into the world of YA Fantasy and reading. Badass women, strong, handsome men, and vampires. What more could a girl ask for?
