One of my favorite books of all time is the Tainted Cup by Robert Jackson Bennet. I describe it as Attack on Titan meets Knives Out

How those two things get blended together is enough of a hook for me to immediately add that to my list!!

I loved reading this interview, Henah! I love visiting bookstores while traveling. A Cappella Books is one of my favorite bookstores that also happens to be in Atlanta.

I love these feature! The Midnight Library is a favourite book in our house. Our teenager read it first and demanded we all read it.

I loved The Midnight Library! I have The Midnight Train on hold at my library, and I'm planning to take it on my travels with me next week

Maya Laurent's avatar

My favorite classic - Dandelion Wine by Ray Bradbury

Favorite book is a challenge so I am going to break the rules and choose two: LOTR trilogy for the prose and display of healthy male friendship and The Overstory by Richard Powers because of the nature connection.

I looooved The Secret Life of Addie LaRue, really good mystical element

Really tough to pick just one book but I'd have to go with Octavia Butler's Lillith's Brood.

My favorite book is The Great Gatsby, which I bought a classic copy of in a little bookshop while traveling in Southeast Asia ✨

I love reading so much, I couldn't possibly pick one favorite. My favorite book so far this year is The Everlasting by Alix E. Harrow!

Emily's avatar

It's technically YA, but I've been loving the Little Thieves trilogy. They're the types of fantasy and mystery narratives I would have devoured when I was younger, and I'm so glad they exist

Loved this entire issue! I love Bookshop so this was fun to read. My favorite non-fiction is We Do This Til We Free Us - it CHANGED me and my perspectives on so many things, I go back to it frequently. Fiction…. Too many to count, but probably the one living closest in my heart is the Lady of Darkness series by Melissa Roehrich, the queen of romantasy!!

Autobiography of malcolm x- Alex Haley

So hard to pick a favorite book, but two I loved and still think about constantly are "Demon Copperhead" by Barbara Kingsolver and "Overstory" by Richard Powers.

Loved this interview and love books. ❤️
