Books I loved but no one talks about

The Book of Cold Cases - One of the best thriller books I have ever read!

The Wishing Game - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with books

Lore - I pretty much love any Greek mythology retelling, and this one was amazing!

The Darkest Minds - I don't usually like sci-fi books, but this trilogy is really good!
