- Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
-
The book that no one can stop talking about, Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarrows completely shattered my expectations. Set at the deadly war college Basgiath, Violet Sorrengail is forced to join the rider’s quadrant, the deadliest school of them all. Once she makes it in, she not only has to face her vicious classmates but also tame and earn the trust of a deadly dragon. I know that this is kind of the bare bones but trust me you don’t want to go into this book knowing much else, because it will blow you out of the water.
- Everything I Know About Love by Dolly Alderton
-
I consider this book required reading if you’re in your early twenties. Dolly tells stories from her misspent youth, trekking to London parties, finding your forever friends at university, and the never ending questn for true love. If you’re feeling lost, confused, or behind in your youth then this book can act as a sort of handbook.It shows you that no one has it completely figured out, and that the strongest kind of love is the kind you find in the people who see you for who you truly are.
