For The Book Lovers

By: Erin Antoniak • Updated On May 14, 2026

Is there anything as satisfying as cracking the spine of a brand new book and falling into a whole new world? I love the times I can get away and escape into a great read and forget everything else around me. Since they bring me so much joy to me, I wanted to bring all of you a list of all my favorite books, from new releases to old favorites. If you aren’t a member of your local library yet, I highly recommend joining! Not only do they have all the books you can dream of, but they offer so much more like, movies, music, magazines, act as a community center, and have book clubs! You can even get a digital library card and use apps like Libby to listen to audiobooks or download books to your phone or Kindle. 

I like to keep track of my books through Goodreads. You can make lists of your current reads, your TBR list, and any other category you can think of as well as make new friends, comment on reviews, and see specially curated book lists from their editors. It’s such a great way to experience all different types of books and find something new to enjoy. 

So go through my list, find a new favorite, and hit the couch or coffee shop for some quality time with your new best friend.
