A couple I'm working through now: Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado. It's a collection of really fantastic short stories - and they're all pretty unsettling. Another book I'm enjoying is Radium Girls, a nonfiction about girls in the 1920s who painted dials with radium paint (and the horrible things they went through afterwards due to the ingestion of radium). Super interesting and sad.

The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt- my favourite book but I'd recommend looking up content warnings before reading.

I had a really good time enjoying Demian by Hermann Hesse recently! It inspired me to pick up a new alias for the web aha

If you're looking for a book that will rip your guts out when you deep dive into the lore which it holds you'll love "My Dark Vanessa". it is a tragic tale of a girl trying to deny her past and what has happened to her. You switch perspectives from her as a 30 year old woman to a 15 year old but one thing is constant, his presence in her life. domineering, controlling, etc. , this book will leave you with a sick feeling in your stomach! highly recommend.

I highly recommend The Archived series (also known as The Dark Vault) by V.E Schwab, it is a trilogy, but the 3rd book is still in the works. It's YA, but still worth it. The characters are awesome and highly relatable. The story is easy but it still gets you invested in it.
The City of Ghosts series (also by Schwab) is also very cool to read, it contains mystery and paranolmality, just as the Archived series.

if you're into sad books, i highly recommend john green. looking for alaska is my personal favorite but that deals with some pretty rough topics.
if you're into NOT sad books, the lunar chronicles series is amazing. it's rewrote fairy tales as sci-fi. super cool and hilarious.

I don't know if anyone's mentioned these so far, but 'The Five People You Meet in Heaven' and 'The Next Person You Meet in Heaven' by Mitch Albom changed my life.
(Don't be put off by the title if you're not religious, religion has nothing to do with the books)

Sevenwaters Saga by Juliet Marillier. I don't know how her writing looks like in English, since I've read the Brazilian Portuguese translation, but I loved it. The stories take place partly in Ireland and partly in Brittany. They are fantasy stories with Celtic culture as the background and female protagonists and their lovers.
Protagonist 1 has a daughter after the first book ends, and the second book tells her daughter story. That's how the books go, from mother to daughter.
Fallen by Lauren Kate. Basically tells the story of a protagonist who goes to a reformatory because she supposedly killed her boyfriend. There she meets weird people, that it the end are fallen angels. It's Twilight Saga but better written, and the "love triangle" isn't actually a love triangle.

My all time fav book is the Magus by John Fowles but it fucked with my mind so much that I'd never recommend it...
I'd recommend anything by EM Forster (especially maurice if ur kinda gay), Orwell is also really easy to get into in terms of 20th century writers. Sometimes dip my toes into classical literature, I like myself a bit of Virgil. 21st century literature Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie is prob my fav, especially Purple Hibiscus (that book BROKE me). If you're going a bit more lyrical obviously have a look into Leonard Cohen, I'd recommend The Favourite Game.

Reading Hellbent by Leigh Bardugo right now and it's amazing so far! I recommend Ninth House, which is the first in the series, as well as literally any of her other books. She is super talented.

I'm totally recommending #MurderTrending! It's about a girl who ends up on an island that live stream gritty executions that are watched by many
It's a book with darkness, cynicism and turns everywhere.
And even in the dark story, there are some signs of comedy and feelings of unity and friendship. I rarely cry, but these characters had a place in my heart. It's a great book with a creative author. I don't keep with the book reader communities to know I this book is already mega-popular but I had to get the word around :)
