Books- the one thing that has lasted centuries and will continue to last for more. Books can take you to a new world and make you feel less alone. When computers die out, books will still be there.
There are literally a billion books. Actually, according to My Book Cave, there were over 134 million books since 2016. We are now 6 years past that so it probably is double.
Of course, you can’t have that many books in your collection nor could you even read that many books. Luckily we can narrow the titles down to different categories with a few books you should own. Books that will transform your life for the better. Some are just fun to read. Some that will help you better understand the world.
Today we are talking about the must-have new books that you need to have in your collection. I break it down into categories and give a small summary of the book.

This book is based on Four powerful, ancient Toltec wisdom. Wisdom that will help give back what self-doubting has taken from us. Wisdom that will help you to live a life of true happiness, freedom and love.
The four agreements are–
- Be impeccable with your word
- Don’t take things personally
- Don’t make assumptions
- Always do your best
Children’s
Goodnight Moon
The book that started my love for moons and astronomy. It is not a new book but it is a book that all parent should read to their children.
Basically saying goodnight to everything. To be honest, I don’t know why people think this is a creepy book. It is cute the bunny has to say goodnight to everything in his room. I highly doubt it was made to be creepy
Religion
Normally I don’t talk about religion as it is a touchy subject. I did see this book and thought “Wow now this seems like a God book everyone should own”
For those wondering, I am an ominous which believes that all religions have some truths to them. No one religion is above all. I am also a Wiccan
Revealing Revelations
“How God’s plan for the future can change you life now” There is a workbook you can get also. It is basically telling what will happen to people after the end of times. Take God’s hand before and you will be ok.
Buy Now protip- read your post before publishing them. Another book I got the title wrong
Jesus Calling
It is no wonder why celebrities and people all over the world rave about this book. 365 days of widsom from various bible scrips to help with everyday life. To get a little more Jesus.
I use it when I feel down which is alot. I go to any date and read what it says. It is just a small reminder that we are not alone and someone is rooting for us.
Lady In Waiting
Finding love is hard. While waiting for that perfect someone, it is good to have God. He will show you love and the right path to find that right one.
The only con I have of this book is that it does say something about purity aka not having sex. You don’t have to not have sex while you find your love. Go have fun while on your road.
Horror
Fairytale
From acclaimed horror storyteller Stephen King comes this fascinating book. Based on a seventeen-year-old boy who inherits the keys to a parallel world where good and evil are at war. No a new concept but intriguing. Buy Now
If it Bleeds
Yet another horror book from Stephen King. This time it is 4 shorter stories in one book. A must-have for the horror fans and for cat fans as the cute little kitty ?? Meanwhile, how cute is the cover??
Goosebumps
What millennial (people born 1981-1996) did you not have the Goosebumps books growing up as a kid? It was a staple like the original Furby Between Good Night Moon, Goosebumps and Babysitters Club, I could not explain the best books we had
Comic
Invisible Men
Trailblazing black artist come together in this comic book detailing the real-life heroes of the black community. A must-have comic
Romance
50 Shades of Grey
Not everyone’s cup of tea because of the sexual content. But I did want to put it out there so your fantasies can run wild.
It Ends With Us
If something seems to good to be true does that mean it is? A new romance has Lilly thinking of a past love. When her past returns, will she run to him or stay with this new guy?
Fantasy
Harry Potter
Will there ever be a reading post I don’t mention Harry Potter? Yes, I know this is far from new but some people have yet to read the books or even know the story ?? Shock I know. So go read the books and get in the know. Another millennial staple
