    C.S. Lewis was my literary hero through most of my teens and he's still a favourite. The Narnia books were my childhood, and the Space Trilogy made me think more than almost any other book I've read. Everyone should read them.

    This is me trying to convince you to give us more Taylor Swift based recommendations, it'd be my wildest book dreams come true. I can't wait for enchanted books that will make me feel, happy, free, confused, and maybe even lonely, in the best way. I know all too well that a few sad prose will probably make my tears ricochet, and reading a book that's extremely sad beautiful and tragic is a very treacherous slope, but it probably won't be the last time I begin again the cycle of heartbreak. To make a long story short, it's nothing new. I'm so looking forward to books that make me feel like I'm reading in a cabin by the lakes, wrapped in my cardigan, the floors of a cabin creaking under my step as I watch the wisteria and ivy glisten outside. I will only have closure when this video is released. I'm sure all the recommendations will fill a blank space in my bookworm heart, and stick with me forever and always.

    The love hypothesis is probably my favorite book rn it's so cute and I am going into a stem field and want to get a phd one day and olive (the main character) is so relatable in regards to that. I think this is a great read for people who love romance in academia settings. like it was such a good read. I read it in 6 hours no joke couldn't put it down. Honestly 10/10 would recommend
    For the wolf is also a really cute and interesting book it's a little red riding hood beauty and the beast kind of mash up retelling and I think this book is definitely a good read for people who like fantasy/fairytale settings. I wish there was a few things different about the romance trope but it was a good read. There are some sequels to the book however and I didn't find the book so amazing that I wanted to read the sequels but I might change my mind. I would probably say this book is a 7/10 but id recommend if ur into the those genres.
    Why did I feel the need to share my opinion?? Idk lol but i am about to read a lot of these books u mentioned lol ty for this
    Omg one thing I want to add that I think is a different opinion but maybe not but it feels different than what was included on this list but I feel like a lot of people like Stephen king because of his horror but let me tell y'all the dark tower series by him is a MASTERPIECE. I can't even tell y'all how crazy this series is I cried at the end and was so angry at how it ended and because it was the perfect ending to the story but it was so wrong and if that doesn't explain the emotions this book gives you then idk but imagine a sci Fi dark fantasy western with elements of romance and horror. Literally the best 11/10 everyone should read this series its somewhat lengthy but worth your time and will make you feel every emotion I mean I can't explain it
