Friday Feature: Books the People in My Life Love  ☕️✨

One of my favorite things about reading is how it connects us — to stories, to characters, and to each other. So today, I’m highlighting three books that the people in my life absolutely adore. Different vibes, different genres, but all loved for their own reasons.

Grab your brown butter caramel latte, curl up somewhere cozy, and let’s get into the stories my people can’t stop recommending. 💛📚

📚 House of Leaves — Mark Z. Danielewski

Genre: Experimental Horror / Psychological Mystery

This cult-favorite mind-bender follows a family who discovers their house is bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. What starts as curiosity spirals into a terrifying journey through shifting hallways, impossible spaces, and a darkness that seems alive. Strange, unsettling, and unforgettable — this one comes from the horror lover in my circle.

💐 Pride and Prejudice — Jane Austen

Genre: Classic Romance

Elizabeth Bennet + Mr. Darcy = the blueprint. This beloved novel mixes sharp wit, slow-burn romance, and insightful social commentary into a story that’s been adored for generations. Charming, clever, and perfect for readers who love character-driven romance (you know I have at least three of those people).

🔎 Death Note: Another Note — Nisioisin

Genre: Crime / Mystery / Thriller

A serial killer is loose in Los Angeles, and genius detective L teams up with ex-FBI agent Naomi Misora to crack the cryptic clues left behind. Fast-paced, twisty, and full of psychological tension — this one's a favorite of the true-crime + anime fans in my life.

🐾 Cujo — Stephen King

Genre: Horror / Thriller

A once-friendly Saint Bernard becomes violently rabid after a bat bite, unleashing terror on the small town of Castle Rock. What begins as a loyal family dog turns into a deadly force as Cujo’s mind slips into madness. A fast, tense, haunting read for the horror lovers in my life.
