No one deserves a day more than the mothers in our lives. From offering unwavering support to loving us enough to say “no,” our moms don’t just give us life, they help us find our own path. They know everything about us, from our favorite foods to our most difficult struggles.
Finding the right gift for someone who means so much is almost impossible, but you can never go wrong with a great book. Whether your mom wants a small-town charmer to take her mind off things or a stirring mystery full of heartache and loss, this list has you covered!
Read on to find the perfect gift for mom before Sunday!
Dirty Lying Sirens
Sometimes, all we need is to be swept away, and Sabrina Blackburry’s epic romantasy series does just that. Though readers were first introduced to this fantastical world with Dirty Lying Faeries, each novel can be enjoyed independently.
In Dirty Lying Sirens, Maddie finds a second chance at life when she discovers she’s a siren. Now, she must work out how to find her voice to save the man she loves and save the civilization she never knew she was part of.
Crash Into Me
Shifting from fantasy worlds to the all-too-real, Crash Into Me follows Natalie, a recent college graduate struggling to find a job while caring for her sister, who’s just entered rehab for an eating disorder.
When she meets another of the facility’s patients, Brooklyn, she knows it’s unwise to pursue anything serious. But friendship quickly turns to real feelings, and Brooklyn’s dangerous past threatens to drag them both underwater.
Complicated and deeply emotional, Crash Into Me is perfect for fans of books like Krista and Becca Richie’s Addicted to You and TV shows like One Day.
The Mountains We Call Home: The Book Woman's Legacy
Sometimes, love comes at a cost, and Cussy Lovett has learned that better than anyone. Born with a genetic disorder that makes her skin blue, imprisoned for loving a white man, Cussy settles in as the prison librarian.
Now, she wants to help downtrodden women find themselves in this story of quiet strength, fierce love, and the healing power of books.

Today is the first day of the rest of your life.

Broken Country
Broken Country might be a New York Times bestseller and a Reese’s Book Club pick, but more importantly, my mother recommended it to my grandmother, so it fits this list twice over. The plot follows Beth and her husband Frank, whose relationship relies on the past remaining buried.
The return of Beth’s first love, Gabriel, reminds her of her lost child. Town secrets and local pettiness resurfaces with deadly consequences in this sweeping love story that reads almost like a thriller.
