Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy! It's a dark read and McCarthy's writing style isn't for everyone, but this quickly became one of my favorite books once I finished it.

Books are gateways to worlds of imagination, knowledge, and inspiration. Essays on books delve into the profound impact of literature on individuals and society. They explore the power of storytelling to illuminate the human experience, provoke thought, and evoke empathy. Through essays, scholars and enthusiasts residency personal statement editing services analyze canonical works, emerging voices, and the evolving landscape of literature. Book essays offer insights into the complexities of language, narrative structure, and symbolism, highlighting the enduring influence of books in shaping our identities and understanding of the world around us.

BOOKS I LOVEEEEE!
Ok so all these books are by the same author; Leah Thomas (my favorite author)!! Please note: these books do contain some dark topics!
1. Because You’ll Never Meet Me (book 1 of 2)
The story is about two teen boys on opposite sides of the world communicating by letters (that’s how the chapters are written; kinda like letters)! If you’re a fan of fiction, friendship, and drama then you’re in for a treat!
2. Nowhere Near You (book 2 of 2)
3. When Light Left Us
Okay this book contains very heavy topics YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!! The story is very melancholy. But Yayy there’s an lgbtq kid in here (I love inclusive books like this)!! If you’re okay with very heavy topics then I’d definitely recommend this book to you!!
Have fun reading!!

I absolutely adored the book "Lovely War" by Julie Berry. Amazing story, I highly recommend.
It's a historical romance based in Europe during WWI.
Oh and it's narrated by Greek gods/goddesses.

House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski is an incredibly weird and immersive read.
Its formatting and style of literature is very unique making it one of my personal favorites.

Personally, I think that Alice in Wonderland is a very good book, but most of my friends find it a bit boring.

These two books I recommend are not related AT ALL but still amazing, 1984 by George Orwell and My Best Friends Exorcism by Grady Hendrix.

News from the empire
It's a beautiful historical novel narrated from the perspective of the only Empress in México and her perspective on the Empire, this empire lasted 4 years but it was a very important time period in México, it´s really interesting. I really recommended

If you like a fantasy, "Caraval", "The cruel prince" and "The king's perfume". If you like something more horror, I HIGHLY recommend "Beast Nation", it's soooo good.

I personally love books that make me rethink my life for a good second and make my skin crawl.
My personal fave is The Secret History, I love the way Donna Tart tells the story and the way how the characters are described. You feel for the characters even tho they are all basically bad people. This book did had me feel empty for months tho ngl. But i LOVED it.
My second recommendation is 1984 by George Orwell. This is book is a classic and basically everything in the book is awful but that is what makes it great.
My third recommendation is Lapvona by Otessa Moshfegh. This book is truly one of a kind and multiple times had me disgusted and disturbed by what happened in the story but i had to keep reading! But overall loved it.
My fourth recommendation is american psycho. I think everyone knows the story and maybe has seen the movie. The movie was tame in comparison to how some scenes are described in the book. I'm currently still reading this one too :)

Never come back by David Bell is a great book I recommend to anyone who likes some mystery in their books! Its a short easy read but it doesn't affect the story of the novel much. Another book Id recommend is 1984 if u haven't read it already ^^

It's an old one. But, I really love The Medusa Project Series. It's a mystery-like and crime genre. It actually focuses on the genre with a bits on romance which stands out! You should read it if you haven't!!

If you're interested in fantasy, maybe YA, I'd recommend the Graceling series
But if you're more interested in queer, YA, with some horror, I'd recommend Andrew Joseph White's books Hell Followed With Us and The Spirit Bares Its Teeth :)

I've been very slowly and leisurely cooking on the Wheel of Time series the last few years and I'm really enjoying it. The worldbuilding is really REALLY good and I find the writing style to be very digestible and understandable while still being immersive to the setting. It's high fantasy if that's your thing. Definitely consider giving it a try if you haven't! Don't let the Amazon tv series dissuade you lol

A Density of Souls by Christopher Rice is my go to when recommending books to anyone. It is such an outstanding murder mystery. He is Anne Rice's son.

Human Acts is such a powerful novel about an uprising in Korea and Han Kang's writing never ceases to amaze me. It's heartbreaking but a very amazing book. Also, I'd recommend Letters to a Young Poet to anyone who loves poetic prose. It is and will always be one of my favorite books.
