GO SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARIES !!!
they'll be really glad to have you :)
hello all !!! here are a list of books that i really like that i hope you guys will enjoy too !! recently i've been getting back to reading as much as i used to and now it's been much easier since i've been volunteering at the library now !!
this page will just mainly be book reccomendations and i'll also write lil reviews about them as well. i'm not good at writing reviews so it'll just be what i think about them !! which i guess that's what a review is LMAO
i'll be adding more everytime i finish a book so i guess it'll kinda be an ever updating list lol, or maybe i'll forget to !!! who knows !!
The Picture Of Dorian Gray
Oscar Wilde
i think this is one of the first classical books i actually finished reading. i really liked this one !! this book's about how your actions shape your identity and i think the book covers this in a really interesting way !! a fun fact about this book is that when this was released in 1890 was that some of the writing was altered so it didn't read as implicitly homosexual as it was originally. the book even got banned once !! fortunately now though you get to read it as it was originally. though fair warning for those who don't read classical literature, sometimes it does gets hard to read !! anyhow i still reccomend this book a lot :) here's an article about the book if anyone's interested.
Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe
&
Aristotle and Dante Dive Into the Waters of the World
Benjamin Alire Sáenz
auuugh i love these books so so much !! i really love seeing the characters figure themselves out and learn how to love each other and the kind of lessons n thoughts are in these books. and i also love the dialogues the characters have, and what they learn from each other. the whole time i read these books, especially the second one, i felt so warm n just, happy overall. the books also made me laugh a lot as well. please give these books a go, i highly recommend them !!
Poison for Breakfast
Lemony Snicket
i thought this book was very fun, it's interesting reading books from him after having read The Unfortunate Series of Events !!! Snicket has a very recognizeable style and i'd say like the books above kinda just make you think about things after reading them. this book is also pretty funny and it left me feeling joyful and i think that's the most you can ask for from a book !!!! plus it's a short book so i think you can still read it even if you have a hard time committing or are busy :) anyway, definitely worth a read, i love this book so much.
Circe
Madeline Miller
hnnngghgngghhhhhhngnnngnghgh i love Greek Mythology so much . i literally could not stop reading this book at all it was so good JDJDFJJK the writing was very immersive and it made me ache while i read it. it was very easy to get into the head of Circe and see how she adapted to every situation she was put through. also also, personal bias but i just love seeing the interactions between greek gods and other figures in mythology, it tickles my brain very much
