I have a tbr that's big enough already, but I was hoping I could get some recommendations for books that were life changing for people please?
It would be fun if you could explain why it changed your life too 🙂 I'm open to any genre! I do have a particular interest in emotional fiction (I don't know if this is what it's called, but basically anything that tugs at my heart strings) and historical fiction but I will read pretty much anything.
Thanks in advance!

The Dark Vault duology by VE Schwab completely shattered my world (and soul), although it’s YA, it doesn’t speak at all like YA. It discusses grief, death, loneliness, and so many other themes in a very different and relatable way. Also, the concept of the two books is THE best ever.
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. The author, Paul, was intrigued by death, he wanted to know death, and he got that chance, but in a slow and painful way. This book made me sob, I don’t cry on books.
Everything My Mother Taught Me by Alice Hoffman. Short story, but a masterpiece.
“There are those who insist that mothers are born with love for their children and place them before all other things, including their own needs and desires. This was not the case with us.”
Momo by Michael Ende. It reminds me to value time and to enjoy the simple things
cormac mccarthy 100%. if you want something historical fictiony, blood meridian, and if you want his most heartstringy book id say all the pretty horses because its a love story.
The Boy Called “It” is nonfiction and pretty traumatizing. It changed my life for reasons I don’t want to state here, but would be willing to tell you in messages if you really, really want to know.
