Loves for the ages. Soul-bound. The yearning we all yearn for. These are the books that will live rent-free in my head for a lifetime. The love is so romantic, even the contemporary's are fantasy.

The heartbreak. The longing. The emotional punches I was not prepared for. These books didn’t just make me tear up; they stayed with me, lingering in that quiet space after the final chapter. Soft souls, proceed carefully.

If you wanna cry, scream and throw up. You’re in the right place.

My personal fav books. All have little or no spice BTW.

I may have cried. I may have cried so much someone thinks something bad happened; and something bad did in fact happen...in my book.

truly accessed my emotions these ones

Inspired (or Incensed, you decide which) by the Guardian's Top 100 Novels of all Time, my bookclub decided to do our OWN top 100 list! Collected via a Google Form, each member submitted their top 10 books of all-time. We didn't limit to just fiction, and did accept entire series as "one book" — because honestly, picking is hard! As I can't order these by vote count, this is just all of them with no particular order whatsoever. Who knows, maybe we'll do this again sometime — enjoy!
