    The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune took hold of my heart and never let it go. This book teaches its readers that it's ok to be different, that we should celebrate it, and that we shouldn't be afraid of something just because we don't understand it. Klune is one of my favorite authors and while this is the only one of his on this list, I want to give Under The Whispering Door an honorary spot.

    The Haunting of Hill House by Shirley Jackson is one of those novels that will haunt your mind long after you've read it. I couldn't put it down!

    Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia is making the list because of the grip it had on me when I was reading it. I heard some people say that the first half was too slow, but I don't agree. It was subtle, yes, but we got plenty of nerve-racking content.

    Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree is a newer addition to the favorite list. I love all things cozy so of course I had to pick this up, and it did not disappoint!

    The Priory of the Orange Tree by Samantha Shannon is one of few high fantasy books that I completely understand. With a lot of world building and multiple POVs I tend to become confused, but not with this one. It's the only book on this list that took me months to finish because I just didn't want it to end. As the 11th Doctor once said: I hate endings.
