The House in the Cerulean Sea

I chose this novel to read because it has a beautiful book cover. But when I started reading it, I fell in love with the fantasy world that Klune creates. The characters are interesting and they come to life with Klune’s descriptions. The family bonds and the pursuit of happiness are on ull display in these novel.

The Midnight Library

The Midnight Library by Matt Haig is a beautiful story about coming to terms with your choices. It came out in 2022 and made several end-of-year lists for good reason. It is about regrets and how small choices can have a big impact on your life. The protagonist gets to live various lives, trying to find the one that will truly make her happy.

Project Hail Mary

Another author that I really admire is by Andy Weir. He has a classic under his belt and Project Hail Mary might also go down as one in the sci-fi genre. There are few authors that I will read a book from without hesitation and Weir is one of them. He might be the best sci-fi writer for the past decade in my opinion.

I’m Glad My Mom Died

I don’t really read much autobiographies but sometimes, I have to when it is everywhere. And after reading I’m Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy, I was glad I gave it a chance. This is a book that everyone should read as it tackles issues that many childrin experience growing up. McCurdy does a great job of telling her story and yet, still showing her love for her mom as she tries to understand it all.
