    – To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
    – The God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy
    – Immortality by Milan Kundera
    – Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

    Most of these I read in my literature classes. And many are classics/well-known, but they’re still great, really well-written, and worth reading.

  17. These may be a 10/10 for me but not for others lol

    Things we never got over

    The entire ACOTAR series but the 2nd book was my favorite. A court of mist and fury

    Perfect strangers

    Hidden pictures

    Where the crawdads sing

    And the discovery of witches trilogy

  18. Beach Music – Pat Conroy

    I Know This Much is True – Wally Lamb

    The Passage – Justin Cronin

    Where She Went – Gayle Forman (a sequel, but I like it slightly better than the original)

  19. My favorite books of all time:

    To Kill a Mockingbird – Lee

    Americana – Ngozi

    Frankenstein – Shelley

    Middlesex – Eugenides

    Things Fall Apart – Achebe

    The Brothers Karamazov – Dostoevsky

    The Sound and the Fury – Faulkner

    Sapiens – Harari

  21. It’s been so long since I’ve been into reading, but my favorite book was The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. Pieces of Her by Karin Slaughter and The Deep by River Solomons are among my favourite novels as well

  23. I haven’t finished it yet but:

    The Tattooist of Auschwitz

    It’s incredibly hard to put down. I’ve caught myself reading at super inappropriate times like while crossing a busy street.

  24. These are all nonfiction/memoir but:

    Wild – Cheryl Strayed

    Tiny Beautiful Things – Cheryl Strayed

    Know My Name – Chanel Miller

  25. The Perfume – Patrick Süskind

    The Handmaid‘s Tale & The Testaments – Margaret Atwood

    The Lighthouse Keeper – Alan K. Baker

    Doctor Sleep – Stephen King

    Oh and I can recommend books about the universe or the witch hunt, I forgot the exact titles but that stuff is super interesting.

  27. The Host – Stephanie Meyer (I reread this a couple times a year)

    Eragon – Paolini

    Enders Game – Orson Scott Card

    The Mists of Avalon – Marion Zimmer Bradley (if you can ignore the terrible atrocities of the authors abuse of her daughter. This book has almost become infamous in my mind, because she seems to have a deep understanding of the different versions of femininity and how trauma can affect our minds, and yet she destroyed the life of her own daughter.)

  28. These will be probably some less known (or maybe even totally unknown) books but they have changed my perspective on life and different aspects of it, so here they are!

    – Whites Wash at Ninety by Bronja Žakelj
    – Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov
    – Little Deaths by Ivana Sajko
    – The One Hundred Years of Lenni and Margot by Marianne Cronin
    – Disoriental by Nagar Djavadi
    – Transcendent Kingdom by Yaa Gjasi
    – The Island of Missing Trees by Elif Shafak

    Hope this helped! 🙂
