Two of my current obsessions: TikTok and reading. You might be wondering, how can these two even be related? Actually, TikTok can be a great resource for any interests and hobbies that you have because it connects you to learn more about them and adds more of those types of videos into your “For You Page”. Along with always being on TikTok, reading is something I recently got back into and I couldn’t be more excited about it. I try and read a chapter every night before I sleep as a way to de-stress from my busy life. So, if you’re looking for a way to ease back into reading or even just some book recommendations, look no further! Here are some book recommendations I’ve seen and am going to read from being on BookTok.
The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller: This novel is about Greek gods and kings involved in a love story. It incorporates action and adventure, so if you’re interested in Greek mythology and romance, this is the book for you.
Heartless by Marissa Meyer: This is another fiction book about a young girl who is next in line to be queen, but she has other plans. It’s a romance, magic, and monster-packed book.
Every Last Word by Tamara Ireland Stone: As a young girl with OCD, Samantha has trouble with dark thoughts and anxiety. She meets a new group of people and her life is changed dramatically with them drawing her in.
We Were Liars by E. Lockhart: A family with a dark secret lives on a private island. I don’t want to give too much away, but this mysterious book will keep you guessing until the last pages.
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo by Taylor Jenkins Reid: As a Hollywood movie icon, Evelyn decides to take charge and tell the truth of her scandalous life to a magazine reporter Monique. When Monique learns more about Evelyn, twists and turns encounter and a mysterious story unfolds.
My Sister, the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite: When Korede is jealous of her sister, the favorite child, she takes matters into her own hands. This dark-humor read is definitely one that will keep you up just to read until the end.
Hopefully, these books can be on your reading list because I can’t wait to read them too!
