These are my top reads — the ones that consumed me. The books that had me spiraling at 2AM, whispering “just one more chapter” like a liar.

Romance books that will leave you constantly flipping through, unable to put these books down

Just as last year, I'm creating a list of the books that I rated 5 stars on Goodreads. This year, I read 110 books - these ones were the best! A couple things to keep in mind: I consider myself a mood reader, which means that these books were rated 5 stars because they perfectly fit the mood I was in or created and uplifted a mood for me! They span across a lot of different genres from non-fiction to fantasy to mystery/thriller. Additionally, keep in my mind that these ratings are based on OPINIONS - there may be books on this list that you didn't like yourself - keep in mind that an opinion is not right or wrong. Finally, let me know if you've read any of these and how you felt about them yourself!

Books I read as a kid that are imprinted on my heart forever.

Many books recommended on Booktok tend to slant towards the spicy persuasion. If you're like me and would prefer a clean read, these are some of my favorite books without explicit content. *A commission will be earned on qualifying purchases from this list at no extra expense to you*

No slow middles, no fillers — if it's on this list, it earned its spot.
