2. "Daisy Jones & The Six" by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Yes, I know! It’s a two-for-one deal! It’s not every day you get to read about the rise and fall of a fictional rock band in the 70s with the kind of lyrics that might just inspire your next karaoke performance. Did you hear that? It’s the sound of your friends begging you to stop singing!

3. "The Midnight Library" by Matt Haig

Ever wondered what life would be like if you made different choices? This mind-bending book takes you through a library filled with books of alternate lives you could have lived!

If you think your love life is complicated, wait until you meet Connell and Marianne.

Who doesn’t love a little mythology? This modern-day retelling of the life of Circe, the witch from the Odyssey, is like binge-watching your favorite TV show—only better, because you can read it in your pajamas!
