Oh I loved What If?, The Night Circus, and The Pillars of the Earth. I hope you enjoy them!

Really? I've heard amazing things about The Night Circus but not much about the other two. Granted, a bit of that is on purpose, because I don't want to know that much about them so that I'm surprised, but also because most of the book tubers i follow tend to be more into YA books.

I also love Night Circus plus water for Elephants is terrific. Hope you have fun with all of these!
