#so.. yeah

hii !! i love this question sorry it took me so long to respond i needed time to sit down n think LOL

starting with the popular books, i loved "they both die at the end", "the seven husbands of evelyn hugo", "we were liars" (can't remember how good the sequel is but i know it wasn't bad), "the silent patient", and "the song of achilles". i'm sure there are more but i can't remember at the moment.

in terms of popular series, all of leigh bardugo's books are chef's kiss 🤌 (i'm a shadow and bone lover, don't @ me), lunar chronicles was BEAUTIFUL and i read "out now" and "all out" which are collections of queer stories that are so good! for poetry i like rupi kaur's books but some might say that her poetry is very modernised and meant solely for instagram posts (which can't be argued with) so there's that. also percy jackson and the kane chronicles are great! loved those

in terms of less popular ones, "red rising" (trilogy), "unplugged" (trilogy), "the upside to falling", "if i stay", "the tenderness of thieves" and "i have no secrets" are all wonderful! they might be harder to find though? i've not got a good grasp on how popular books are though HAHA

the titles aren't very telling but i read most kinds of books, though lately i've noticed that my taste tends towards queer books, whether in mystery or fantasy or slice-of-life type books. it's a large range LOL
