NextImg:Podcast host Brooke Averick’s six favorite books help her escape from reality

“Brooke and Connor Make a Podcast” host Brooke Averick loves to get lost in a fictional world.

“Reading is my preferred form of escapism,” the digital creator tells Page Six.

She adds, “My favorite types of books have either a whirlwind romance, lovable characters or a fast-paced plot. Give me all three and it’s an immediate five-star read.”

See below Averick’s six must-read book recommendations.

“If there’s one thing that’s gonna make me cry every time, it’s a found family storyline. Add a lovable, sentient octopus to the mix and prepare for your heart to burst.”

"A Court of Mist And Fury" by Sarah J. Maas

“I know that everyone and their mothers are telling you to read the ‘ACOTAR’ series, and please allow me to join them. Reading these books was the closest I’ve ever been to re-experiencing the euphoria of being 12 and reading ‘Twilight’ for the first time. This series has my heart, especially the second book.”

"Love and Other Words" by Christina Lauren

“This is the perfect fall or winter romance, with a perfect book boyfriend. It’s sweet and cozy but there’s also depth to it, so get ready to cry.”

"One Dark Window" by Rachel Gillig

“With the rise in popularity of romantasy books, it can be hard to find one where the plot feels original. Enter: The Shepherd King duology. ‘One Dark Window’ and its sequel, ‘Two Twisted Crowns,’ have such a unique magic system, and they’re such a fresh take on the genre!”

"Miracle Creek" by Angie Kim

“Part mystery, part family drama, part courtroom drama, this book has something for everyone. I couldn’t put this down, and not once did I know where it was going.”

"Idlewild" by James Frankie Thomas

“This book will bring you back to high school play practice in the best way. Never has an author so perfectly captured the intensity of teenage relationships.”
