Whether you love a fiction novel, a heartbreaking memoir or a laugh-out-loud biography, there are some books everyone just *has* to read. It might be the book you read in GCSE literature, the book you borrowed from your best friend or just a book you picked up by chance, fact or fiction - some books just stay with us.

We've put together a list of books that need be on your reading list. From fiction novels you won't be able to put down to memoirs from women who have changed the world we live in.



We hope you enjoy them as much as we did - these are the best books to read.
