A year ago, I vowed to read one book every month. I was never much of a reader when I was younger, but I figured it's never too late to start. One a month seems pretty pathetic, but between my school work, extracurriculars and my job, it turned out to be the precise length of time necessary to turn every page.

These novels were recommended to me by my friends and family, so I thought I'd pass them on once more to anyone looking for a new great read! I truly enjoyed all of them for different reasons, as each were so different and varied across all sorts of genres.

1. Turtles All The Way Down by John Green

2. Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides

3. Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan

4. The Big Sleep by Raymond Chandler

5. O' Pioneers! By Willa Cather

6. The Tiger's Wife by Tea Oreht

7. All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr

8. Scrappy Little Nobody by Anna Kendrick

9. The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah

10. The Hours by Michael Cunningham

11. Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín

12. The 7½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton
