Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
One of the things I enjoyed most about this book was that the fantasy world Neil Gaiman creates isn't a complete 180 from the world we live in.
Read MoreMWF Seeking BFF: My Yearlong Search for a New Best Friend by Rachel Bertsche

"But love, I've come to understand, is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day."
Read MoreMe Before You by JoJo Moyes
I love how real this book is. It deals with a difficult subject matter and makes you feel like you are going through the ever changing emotions right along with the characters. But also, it's not the typical romance book.
Read MoreThe Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
I completely understand now why so many people have read this book and why it's still talked about. Walls depicts such a harsh reality with such beautiful writing. I couldn't put this book down, and although it's a memoir, it read like a well-written novel.

Read MoreWaking Gods (Themis Files 2) by Sylvain Neuvel

Emma Donoghue was so creative with this concept. Having the narrotor be a 4-yr old boy, it lends a certain innocence and naïveté to the premise. Horrifying yes, but a book I definitely recommend.
