Has there ever been a time to read some new books? Probably not. Screen time has been my best friend during this time, and I feel like my eyes are desperate for something other than bright lights. To me, looking at a book is the perfect break from the over-stimulating screens.
This is also the perfect time to “binge” a book, so we tried to gather the most binge-worthy books we could find.
We’ve collected recommendations from friends, critics, and of course–the top charts 😉 So keep reading our list and then…go read!
Need more suggestions? Take a look at this post on books we love from 2019.
Where the Crawdads Sing
- Author: Delia Ownes
- A Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick
- A Business Insider Defining Book of the Decade
- The story is set in the 1950s and revolves around Kya Clark, a young girl with a troubled family from North Carolina. Her desire for human contact brings her out into the real world, where she finds more than she could ever have expected. I absolutely love this one!

In Five Years
- Author: Rebecca Serle
- Currently #5 on the Barnes & Noble Bestseller list
- New York Times Bestseller
- A Good Morning America, FabFitFun, and Marie Claire Book Club Pick
- Has anyone read The Dinner List? I have, and it was one of my favorite reads last summer. This book has the same author, Rebecca Serle, and is sure to have the same charmful emotion as her previous novel. In Five Years is a story about a girl who has it all…but wakes up one day with a totally different life. This book is described as an unforgettable love story, but not the one you’re expecting.

Lady Clementine
- Author: Marie Benedict
- You’ve heard of Churchill…but this book might be about a different Churchill than you think. Lady Clementine is all about Clementine Churchill, Winston Churchill’s wife. Glamour describes this as “a novel based on the life of the woman who historians say quietly advised Winston Churchill throughout his entire career.” Historical fiction fans…this might be the choice for you!
