I know what you’re thinking. The title to this post seems like a lot to live up to and a pretty big promise. That’s how much I LOVE these books! To mix it up a bit, I thought it would be fun to share my favorite books of all time. To go along with A Slice of Style and why you come here every day, reading is a very inexpensive form of entertainment 😉 One book can bring you joy for hours!
Next up, the Giver. Again, this makes you appreciate your life and the freedoms that you have. It’s fiction but has so much meaning and I’ve probably read it at least 4 times I bet. This is a movie as well and I heard the movie was really weird and not good. So don’t watch the movie and read the book and you’ll be a happy little reader like me 🙂
The Forgotten Garden is next. This book is fiction and has twists and turns that will absolutely shock you. I LOVED it and I think I’m going to read it again soon 🙂
Same Kind of Different as Me is an INCREDIBLE book. It really is and will touch your heart and make you more compassionate. This is a true story and it made me so happy because I just love how good some people can be. Oh, I can’t even tell you how much I loved it and how much I think you need to read it!
The Glass Castle is another must-read and is a bestseller on Amazon for a reason. It’s a true story and it’s another one that will make you grateful and treasure your own life. It’s beautifully written.
I just started reading All But My Life because my friend let me borrow it. It was referred to her by one of her customers and she absolutely love it, and I am hooked already. It’s about a girl who lived through the Holocaust and it’s so beautifully written.
Saving CeeCee Honeycutt is another favorite that is an absolute delight to read. It’s about a young girl who moves in with her aunt and the characters are so charming. I loved every second of it!
And, last but not least, Harry Potter. Seriously! If you haven’t read these books, you are in for a real treat. This is a great deal on the full set. They are full of adventure and fun and just help you escape for a bit which is why I love books so much.
I hope you love these books as much as I did! I am honestly pretty confident that you will. Most of them are bestsellers…for a reason. I would love it if you left your favorite book recommendations in a comment. I am always looking for great books to read! You can call me Jenica the Bookworm from now on 🙂
I love the Harry Potter series!!

Thanks for sharing Jenica! I always like to read a few reviews before I commit to a book ;). Just recently I read "Unbroken" and could not stop thinking about it for days.. what an incredible story! I will definetly read some of the other books you listed. Here's a few books I read recently and LOVED each of them: The Nightingale by K.Hannah, The Lost Wife by A.Richman, Even Silence Has an End by I.Betancourt, Twelve Years a Slave by S.Northup. And may I suggest a great way to read when you don't have much time to just sit down and relax with a book.. Audible! I often listen to audiobooks when I drive, clean, cook or run/workout/ride a bike! If it's a great story I can't stop "reading"/listening to/, I get A LOT done around the house or get up earlier in the morning to get a bike ride in with the book before my daily craziness begins ;).
Hey Jenica! I loved the Big Stone Gap series by Adriana Trigiani! It’s based on where the author is from, which is also the town beside where I grew up and currently live. There is also a movie based on the first book. 🙂
I look forward to reading some of the ones you suggested!
Thank you so much for the awesome suggestion!! I love getting great recommendations 🙂
I love a good book!
Same! My favorite thing is to snuggle up with a good book 🙂
Thanks for sharing Jenica! Okay I loooove the books by the author Mitch Albom so I highly recommend them!
Thank you SO much!! I love getting great recommendations!
