"The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea" by Axie Oh. My absolute favorite this year! So well written and such a beautiful story! The way the story comes to life through her storytelling is unreal!
"The Night Circus" by Erin Morgenstern. Beautiful, magical story about a circus that opens only at night.
"The Leviathan" by Rosie Andrews. Dark and mysterious story set in 1643 England. I was so blown away that this was her debut novel! Just wow!
"I'm Glad My Mom Died" by Jennette McCurdy. This was my favorite non-fiction book by far! I devoured this in less than a week! Amazingly insightful and well written!
Read both fiction and non-fiction but really got back into fiction this year. I was job searching for the majority of the year and as cheesy as it may sound, it feels like reading brought childlike magic back into my life. Here are my favorites:
1. The Girl Who Fell Beneath The Sea by Axie Oh
2. The Leviathan by Rosie Andrews
3. The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix E. Harrow
4. Daughter of the Moon Gooddess by Sue Lynn Tan
1. I'm Glad My Mom Died by Jennette McCurdy
2. Eat & Run by Scott Jurek
3. Center Center by James Whiteside
4. The Color of Water by James McBride
(Two books I recommend that I read last year: The Signature of All Things and Big Magic by Elizabeth Gilbert)
