Fictional Marvels:

1. The Way I Am Now (Book 2) by Amber Smith 

The Way I Am Now picks up where Eden’s rough journey began in The Way I Used to Be. Now in college, Eden’s trying to heal from past scars. She confronts the guy who hurt her, but it’s not easy. And there’s Josh, her old friend who maybe, just maybe, could be more. 

But can Eden let go of the past and trust again? This book is about finding your strength, facing hard choices, and discovering who you are after the storm. 

It’s got friendship, hope, and maybe even a second chance at love, all wrapped up in one emotional story.

2. Check and Mate by Ali Hazelwood 

Check & Mate is a young adult romance about chess and second chances. Mallory, a talented player, quit chess after a family tragedy. But when she reluctantly enters a charity tournament, she surprisingly beats the arrogant champion, Nolan.

Thrown back into the world of chess, Mallory grapples with her past while navigating a tense rivalry (and maybe even some feelings) with Nolan. She also faces pressure to keep her family from the game that hurt them.

It’s about overcoming fears, rekindling passions, and maybe even finding love on the 64 squares. Think brains, banter, and a bit of checkmating hearts.

3. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott

Little Women is a classic story about four sisters, Meg, Jo, Beth, and Amy, growing up in the 1860s. Their dad’s away fighting in the Civil War, so they live with their loving mom, Marmee, in a cozy house filled with music, plays, and adventures.

Each sister is unique: Meg, the eldest, dreams of romance and grand balls; Jo, the tomboy, writes wild stories and longs for adventures; Beth, the gentle soul, loves music and brings peace to everyone; and Amy, the artistic one, dreams of beauty and grand things.

Through laughter, tears, little acts of kindness, and big sacrifices, the girls learn about life, love, and what truly matters. It’s a heartwarming tale of family, friendship, and finding your own way in the world, even when things get tough.

Non-Fiction Treasures:

1. The Prince by Niccolo Machiavelli

Written in the early 1500s, The Prince is Niccolò Machiavelli’s famous guide for rulers and those seeking power. It’s like a handbook on how to gain and keep control, even if it means acting ruthlessly or using cunning tactics. 

Machiavelli argues that being a good leader isn’t always about being nice or moral. Sometimes, to be effective, a ruler has to make tough choices and prioritize the state’s security above all else.

2. The Art of War by Sun Tzu

Imagine winning a competition without ever throwing a punch. That’s the kind of victory Sun Tzu’s The Art of War teaches. This ancient Chinese book is like a strategy guide for outsmarting your opponents, not just in battle, but in any kind of competition or challenge.

The Art of War is full of practical tips and wisdom that can be applied to everyday life, from business negotiations to school projects. It’s a classic for a reason, and even though it’s about war, it can teach you how to be a shrewd and resourceful thinker in any situation.

3. The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature.

In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.
