Princess Academy

#1 of 3 in Princess Academy

Princess Academy
ByShannon Hale

2005 • 149 Readers • 314 pages 4

Why this book?

This book essentially got me into reading. I wouldn't be a reader today if it weren't for Miri and Shannon Hale.

Cinder

#1 of 5 in The Lunar Chronicles

Cinder
ByMarissa Meyer

2011 • 1,268 Readers • 448 pages 4

Why this book?

This is probably my all-time favorite series. I strive to write my novels with this level of worldbuilding, character arcs, and plot twists.

Illusionarium

Illusionarium
ByHeather Dixon

2015 • 28 Readers • 223 pages 3.1

Why this book?

I picked this up because I really enjoyed Entwined by the same author, and WOW this one quickly overtook the previous. It's snarky, plot-twisty, riveting adventure.

What Blooms from Dust

What Blooms from Dust
ByJames Markert

2018 • 5 Readers • 483 pages 5

Why this book?

This book really helped me discover my love for unconventional genres, particularly magical realism. It is a fantastic historical fiction novel, beautifully written, and with a pinch of magic: just how I like it.

Vicious

#1 of 2 in Villains

Vicious
ByV.E. Schwab

2013 • 1,574 Readers • 366 pages 4.1

Why this book?

I read this in three days. It pretty much became like breathing. Though I did adore Schwab's A Darker Shade of Magic, so I shouldn't have been surprised.
