A Conjuring of Light by V.E. Schwab
Ahh finally. I have finished the A Darker Shade of Magic trilogy and it was everything that I was hoping for and more. So satisfying.

11/22/63 by Stephen King
One of my most favourite stories by the King of Writing himself, 11/22/63 is a thrilling read. King takes his Constant Readers through an interesting and thought provoking tale of time travel and what ifs in this story.
