I have always been an avid reader, but booktok revitalized me and reminded me of why I loved books in the first place. I have read 40 books so far in 2023… here are my 5 star picks
I reread this book every few years. Ellen Hopkins always nails it.
Crank : Hopkins, Ellen
this graphic novel series unlocked something in my soul.

I love Taylor Jenkin Reids books but this one was my absolute favourite.
Carrie Soto Is Back by Taylor Jenkins Reid
this is a hard read.. but important for all women. The resilience and strength of this writer to tell her story.. it left me in shambles. But the pride I felt for her throughout it in taking back her life, her name, her story. wow wow wow
Know My Name: A Memoir: Miller, Chanel
I love love loved this book. From start to finish I devoured it.
Daisy Jones & The Six
I don't know what TJR puts in her books, but I read this in one night and as soon as I put it down wanted to start again
Malibu Rising
I watched the show first and it soon became an all time favourite. I read this book now 3 times, and listened to it 2 times and never get over the powerful connection of Marianne and Connell
Normal People
watched the movie then devoured the book. There is lots of parts that are hard to read, but such a necessary book and so well written. I felt completely captivated by the story the whole way through
The Hate U Give
all my fellow introverts and AuDHD individuals will understand this one on a personal level.
