2025: Three Charming Reads (suggestions thread)

The Golem and the Jinni
by Helene Wecker
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We Were Liars
by E. Lockhart
⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Nightingale
by Kristin Hannah
⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Golem and the Jinni is one of the few books I've read multiple times. It starts very, very slow, but I love it so much. (There's also a sequel, but it's not as good. Have I also read it multiple times? Yes.) Set in 1899, or at least the beginning of it. It was actually a book I had to read for a college English class, and I think I read it like 2-3 times before the semester ended.

We Were Liars is YA, and is one of the few books where the ending was something I didn't guess. There's also a prequel, A Family of Liars, although I haven't read it yet.

The Nightingale is the first book in a very long time that has made me cry. WWII. The historical accuracy can be questionable, but it didn't bug me enough to stop reading it. WWII is one of my favorite eras though.
