For anyone with unique taste in books.
Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
It's difficult to tell whether I was compelled to read this book because of the floating girl on the cover, or because it was absurdly heavy for a paperback book; nevertheless, I'm glad I did. Ransom Riggs' imagination proves to be top notch when creating the other worldly characters who make up the Home for Peculiar Children. The novel constantly keeps readers guessing the value of a story and the importance of finding the people who understand who you are.
Slade House by David Mitchell
Chilling and unexpected. Every time I thought it was over, it wasn't. Right down to the last sentence. This journey through time will have you gasping at the end as long as you can accept the fact that all of your predictions were completely erroneous.
Brain on Fire by Susannah Cahalan
Truly a work of art in all fields of study. From science to psychology,to literature, Susannah Cahalan proves how no one is safe from the horrors of our own bodies. This memoir of a “month of madness” is enough to turn anyone in a hypochondriac.
Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
If you have yet to hear of this poetry collection then I suggest you head to your nearest bookstore. Rupi Kaur is a young Canadian born poet with an Indian background that makes her feminist views so much more shocking. Every woman needs this book to remember they are powerful, while every man needs this to understand the beauty that is womankind.
The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson
The past few years have been monumental for the LGBTQ community. However, there will forever be those who just don't understand the concepts of gender and sexuality. Maggie Nelson's research and lifestyle contributed to The Argonauts and its ability to engage and inform readers of a life they may not understand.
Beautiful You by Chuck Palahniuk
50 Shades of Grey meets the Apocalypse. Beautiful You is the type of book you would be wary to read in public if people have the ability to read your mind. As always Palahniuk delivers a mind-boggling novel based on important aspects of today's society: technology, body image, feminism, and sex, to name a few.
The Dinner by Herman Koch
In today's day and age, the existence of happy families seems rather elusive. However, Koch reminds readers there is love to be found in the strangest of situations. Overall, The Dinner is a well crafted novel where you may want to stop to question your own life and morals but you simply can't stop reading long enough to do so.
