Circe: Beautiful writing that provides insight into a perspective shut off by history while still staying as true as possible to Homer’s Odyssey.

Catch-22: A hilarious book until it isn’t. The reality of war creeps up on you when reading this, and while you’re laughing at the absurdity of the characters, you begin to realize the sober horror that lurks just beneath the surface.

Cold Mountain: A love story that surpasses distance, war, tribulations, poverty, fear, and death. Two perspectives of one romance that depicts just how raw and strong real love can be.

The Name of the Wind: A stunning fantasy that immediately pulls you in and stands tropes on their heads.

The Bell Jar: A classic for a reason. Melancholic and sympathetic, Esther’s story peels back the veil of expectations for a young woman whose dreams are shaken.
