Wait I just posted a book but this is top favorite ever. This book did something to my spirit and reignited my childhood desire for exploration and adventure.

omg I hadnโt read in years and all of a sudden I listened to this audiobook(amazing amazing voice actor) and have been reading ever since-I definitely recommend. /a man wakes up in a spaceship with no memory of how he got thereโฆ/
OR
The Count of Monte Cristo by Dumas
if youโre feeling more historical-itโs very long but the revenge/romance/drama is unmatched and it kept me interested

my absolute favorite book as a kid was trial by journal by kate kline, and as a tween it was the year of secret assignments, both of which are a combo of letters/emails/diary entries etc
I also liked speculative fiction/more grounded sci fi and fantasy:
-heir apparent by vivian vande velde, a vr middle school novel
-12 impossible things before breakfast by jane yolen, a series of creepy/fantastical short stories
-the true meaning of smekday by adam rex, a fun romp of an alien invasion novel from the perspective of a teenage girl
My number one rec is the book when you reach me by rebecca stead!! just a beautiful coming of age novel about friendship and love and also (unexpectedly) time travel. i havenโt reread most of the others in ages but I revisit this one every few years.
(Also possibly a controversial opinion, but if you never read twilight it might be worth it for the cultural experience lol)

Iโm cleaning up my book shelf and this is one book from childhood I always keep around. A sad book with beautiful illustrations. I should re-read it.

Literally makes a mundane treat feel special and sacred. The floral scent and taste is divine. Try it.
