 | Tully by Paullina Simons

 | The Bell Jar: A Novel (Perennial Classics) by Sylvia Plath
Buy used from: $1.10 I couldn't decide to put this on my list, just because it has this stigma attached to it. But I finally relented because it is really really good, and mostly autobiographical. Don't watch the movie!
