Introducing a little series of posts I plan to do over the month of July, and that is, if you have not guessed, Hogwarts House Recommendations! I am starting this series off with my own house; Slytherin!

Or perhaps in Slytherin

You’ll make your real friends,

Those cunning folk use any means

To achieve their ends.

So lets get started:

Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake

My rating: 4.5/5 stars

This is the perfect witchy read, full of ambition and real raw friendship. It follows three sisters, who must fight each other for the crown. Definitely a book for all Slytherins to check out.

The Young Elites by Marie Lu

My rating: 4/5 stars

This book reads as a villain origin story, and if that itself does not scream Slytherin, then the continuous ambition of every character will.. Adelina is dark, cruel, ruthless, conflicted, and so much more.

Macbeth by Shakespeare

My Rating: 4/5 stars

Macbeth is one of my favourite Shakespeare plays – although, it is true, I have not read nearly half as many as I would have liked to. It is perfect for Slytherin’s and deals in depth with the theme of ambition.

The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde

My Rating: 4.5/5 stars

Another favourite of mine, this book is full of ambition, and dark deeds. I truly loved this book, and I am dying to pick up more of Oscar Wilde’s works in the future.

Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo

My Rating: 5/5 stars

Six of Crows perfectly shows how important it is to stick by friends, even when your morals may line up differently. I know so many people love this book, and it is easy to see why!

Let me know what books you would recommend for a Slytherin!
