Guys? Could you suggest your favorite books? My list is almost done ?
Sleeping Giants by Sylvain Neuvel (and after that one, Waking Gods, the second book in the Themis Files series).
A girl that falls into a hole in the earth and lands in the palm of a giant metal hand. ?
It’s a great series with amazing characters.
Frankenstein
I am just a tiny bit (ok a lot) obsessed with Brandon Sanderson’s Stormlight books. First one is “The Way of Kings”. Book 3 comes out soon so it’s a good time to read the first two. And they’re pretty hefty books so should keep you busy for a little while 🙂
Yeah I also love fantasy ?
Blood of Elves by Andrzej Sapkowski is the first in books that inspired the Witcher games and was quite enjoyable. I’ve otherwise been on a big urban fantasy kick. I enjoyed Kevin Hearne’s Iron Druid books (first one is Hounded). They were introduced to me as books about a guy who loves the earth, his dog, and whiskey. Which since those are some of my favorite things too I had to check it out and I’ve now gone through the series three times 🙂
Thank you ❤?
Hamlet, Red Kayak, A Brief History of Time, Macbeth
You have read all of those? ?
Most are revised editions
Try Silence of The Lambs
Andami na huhuhu. Nalilito nako kong ano uunahin ??
Hahaha
My current favorite is “A Man Called Ove”
Filmed ❤
I have recently become addicted to the Inspector Gamache series by Louise Penney.
That was already released by Acorn televisions right?
@Kyla Not sure of that. I’ll have to look.
Oh sure ?
@Kyla Would love to see it. Of course, I already have in my head what all of these characters should look and sound like after reading all 13 books. Not sure I want to erase the picture. 😉
Hahaha maybe you really love it a lot

I’m not sure how to pick a favorite book — it’s so subjective, depending on age, circumstance and mood. I have always loved fairytales and folklore; so that remains a constant — I’ve read LotR, Harry Potter, and Susan Cooper’s The Dark is Rising children’s series many times. Current urban fantasy fav’s are books by Ilona Andrews and Patricia Briggs. My favorite classic is Persuasion. Bel Canto and The Red Tent were particularly enthralling book club reads. The Uncommon Reader and A Child’s Christmas in Wales are favorite novellas. Malcolm Gladwell’s non-fiction is fascinating — Blink, The Tipping Point, Outliers…
Gone With The Wind, Remarkable Creatures, The Sparrow, Grapes of Wrath, Animal Dreams, Not A Drop To Drink, The Uglies.
How about some non-fiction? Emperor of All Maladies, The Warmth of Other Suns, Just Mercy, The Devil in White City, Under the Banner of Heaven. Fiction, Burial Rites, Alias Grace, The Book Thief, City of Thieves, The Nightingale, The Enchanted…
I never, ever reread books, but Rebecca and Cold Sassy Tree are 2 books I could read over and over and never get tired of!
I’ve read Rebecca multiple times too
Howl’s Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones
Portrait of a lady by Henry James.
Night Train to Lisbon by Pascal Mercier, To Have and to Have Not, A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway, As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner

Any memoirs by Jen Lancaster…A Dog’s Purpose series by W. Bruce Cameron…the Storyteller by Jodi Picoult…The Life List by Lori Nelson Spielman…Wonder by R. J. Palacio (it’s YA but fantastic)…anything by Sarah Pekkanen…Harry Potter…The Weight of Silence; And Little Mercies by Heather Gudenkauf
A little Life, The luminaries, Poisionwood Bible, A Man Called Ove and many more.
Anything by Barbara Kingsolver.
All-time top 2 – Gravity’s Rainbow by Pynchon and the 13 1/2 lives of Captain Bluebear by Walter Moers.

The Westing Game, And Then There Were None, The Hound of the Baskervilles, Night Film, Devil in the White City, Shutter Island, The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher
Then there were None, was one of the first Agatha Christie books, I read, always remembered that one and Crooked House! 🙂
Before we were yours, Water for Elephants, Prodigal Summer, Me before you
Before We Were Yours is tops on my TBR pile!
@Jennifer , I was up till after midnight with it. I wasn’t enthusiastic about reading it, then couldn’t put it down. A beautiful read, a compelling story.
– Also anything by Lisa Genova (Still Alice; Left Neglected; The O’Briens; Love, Anthony. She has a new one coming out in April)
– Anything by Amy Hatvany (Best Kept Secret is my favorite one)
Still Alice is wonderful
@Barbara Love, Anthony was my least favorite of hers and Still Alice was one of my favorite books ever! ?
Harry Potter series
I actually have to replace some of the early titles because they are falling apart from being read so many times!
Me to
#ScandalinThePews Series Tracey T. Cooper
Don’t forget Poisonwood Bible and The Book Thief. All of these, as you pick and choose, should keep you busy for months. 🙂
The Poisonwood Bible. I love this book. I almost never read a book twice because there are SO many I want to read and so little time, but I had to revisit this one. I listened to it the second time around. Barbara Kingsolver narrates her own books. It takes a little getting used to, but I find her voice to be very soothing.
I’ve loved ALL her fiction
Mrs. Mike
Shadow of the Wind by Carols Ruiz Zarek (not sure of spellingP
Love this book… Zafon ?? is awesome Xx
Thanks for the correct name. I don’t know why it doesn’t stick in my head 🙂
That’s okay… I tend to just CRZ myself lol then no one understands me ???
Probably one of the most well written novels I’ve ever read.
What did you think of the prequel and sequel? I read them both, but they weren’t as good as Shadow
I have not read them. I only just finished reading Shadow of The Wind a few months ago and wasn’t even aware that they existed. I will totally look for them, though! I planned on looking for more stories by Carlos Ruiz Zafon anyway, since Shadow was so good.
Hope you enjoy them
I’m sure I will! ☺

It’s too bad Auel didn’t stop after the first one.
I agree. Th first one is one of my all time favorites and one of a very few books that I have read more than once. The others though-bleh.
