I've read hundreds of books throughout my life. I would say I specialize in Young Adult books. These are YA books I think everyone should read in their lifetime. Some popular, some not so much.

These are the books that changed who I am, the way I think, and how I approach life. I highly recommend them to anyone who's feeling lost and needs a way to find guidance from within.

I'm a huge murder mystery fan, and of course Agatha Christie was the grand dame of the genre. I love the setting and characters (especially Hercule Poirot), but at the heart, her cozy mysteries are intricate puzzles. The bummer about being a Christie fan, of course, is that no one will ever be able to duplicate her mind or her voice. But thankfully many authors have taken up the challenge to try to craft the perfect crime. Here are a few of my favorites. (Some of the links on this list are affiliate links, for items that I love and recommend. If you purchase something through these links, I earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.)

I read a lot of faith and mental health related books, both fiction and nonfiction, so if that’s your speed, this list is for you!

I recently got back into reading, here are my recs! Be warned I am a big hopeless romantic! <3

The books that have stayed with me for years. The books that made me cry, left me inspired and are damn near perfect in my eyes.

I was “raised” by alcoholic parents, while it wasn't all bad I definitely suffer from the side effects of emotional neglect and emotional abandonment and issues with attachment as an adult. In many ways the experience has made me a stronger person and I am committed to a life time of improvement and becoming my best self. I have read so many self-help books in my journey of growth and healing and I hope sharing these will benefit others traveling the same path. Most of my recommendations are non-fiction books that help with improvement in the categories of personal development, professional development, adult children of alcoholics recovery, relationships, and communication.

I read 70+ books last year, and only gave FIVE books a 5-star rating in 2024. (this list includes books I read in both 2024 and 2025).

I love to read. I usually stick to fiction/fantasy/murder mystery. But I'm always trying to find new books to read or even rereading something I've already read.

This isn't your typical self-help list. These are stories—powerful, engaging, and deeply human—that show us what's possible. These books harness the timeless power of narrative to explore themes of resilience, purpose, and personal growth, demonstrating that the best lessons aren't just taught, but lived. As Osho has said: “Feel grateful and start searching for what can help you to grow, as you are not to become a carbon copy of someone else, but just to remain your original self.”

I've made it a routine in our house that when it's bed time or during the babies nap time that we try and read at least one story with my toddler. Between that and having my son bring us books throughout the day asking us to read to him we have developed quite the book collection to keep him from getting bored. We've narrowed our collection down to some of his favorites that he wants to read all the time.

There are books that entertain you, and then there are books that unravel you quietly, profoundly, until you start seeing your world differently. These are the ones that didn’t just pass through my mind, they stayed, rearranged a few things inside, and whispered truths I didn’t know I was ready to hear.

These are some books I often recommend either to clients, clients’ parents, or people looking to get a better understanding of mental health & human behavior

Every single one of these books has a special place in my heart. Also they are mostly fantasy romance because that’s my fav genre. Let me live

Ever have a book bring you to your knees? Whether that was crying or for other reasons I’ve made a list of books that have put me through it🫶🏽

My reading taste is all over the place so expect books by every genre being recommended.

These are my top rated books, many of which I've read this year! My taste in books leans towards fast-paced, emotional dystopia or romance. If a book makes me cry, it's a bonus. I'll toss in a few fluffy romance novels to lighten the mood between emotional roller-coasters. You won't only find trendy TikTok reads here, these are books that I genuinely enjoy. I am a busy mom, so I'm quick to DNF something I'm not interested in.

My first love is fiction; to be lost in the good story is my favorite. BUT-- I do also love to learn, and I'm working my way through so many cool nonfiction books, too. I'll share my faves here. I'll note that due to my chaotic life as a mom of 3 little boys, I regrettably don't get to read as much as I'd like-- so please bear with me as I add slowly.

In my book loving era and HAVE NOBODY to talk to about them! These are books I've loved reading, no DNF's here. The only thing I love more then reading is talking to people who love reading and SHOWING my love for books. From keychains to cups to stickers I want to show my love for books in all the ways and I want you to as well!

The best romance books I've ever read! Heartwarming romances never go out of style!! All the tropes. Enemies to lovers, friends to lovers, one bed, fake dating, forced proximity and more!! Links to Barnes & Noble for easy shopping! I've also highlighted some of my favorite authors to showcase the absolute greatness this genre has to offer!

I am an avid book reader. Most of these recommendations will be from the fantasy/supernatural genre. There will be a few others sprinkled in

When i was younger I was one of those kids that always had a book in my hand. I'd get a 500 page book for Christmas and have it finished by the end of the day. But of course as I got older and life happened, I fell out of that habit. A few years ago I rediscovered reading and this list is my favorite book recommendations that have reignited my love for reading. This list is paper back edition for those who love to have a physical book. Although most of these do include best sellers, some of them are a little more unknown and underrated titles for your TBR.
