Iron Druid Chronicles by Kevin Hearne.
I downloaded it because I was bored and couldn’t find anything else at the moment. I’m in the process of listening to it for the 6th time now. By far my favorite series.
(Read it 2 times, then listened to it 5 complete times. So, technically, this is my 8th time through.)
It was the first new series I read after brain surgery and I ended up listening to the last book. Almost broke me. I’m gonna have to try rereading it when I feel like I’m 100% better. Still have major issues with reading new books ?
A Court of Thorns and Roses
A bio of the actor Jackie Gleason. I started reading it because it was the only book at a hotel where I was staying while on holidays. I was surprised how much I got into it..the man had an interesting life, to say the least.
Inkheart. First book was a chore but the second and third were amazing.
The Nanostealth series by Vikki Kestell. It was a genre that I had never had any interest in, but I was already in love with her other works, so I was willing to give it a try. I so loved the first one, I just read my way through the series and am now hoping she will add more books to the series in the future. They have all been wonderfully interesting, thought provoking, and so inspiring.
Dr. Sues.
I don’t know if I would say I had low expectations of this one, but as a male reader I perhaps didn’t expect it to be as good as it was: the Anne of Green Gables series…started it this year, and have read the first 5. Thoroughly enjoyable, every one.
Tell me your dreams by Sidney Sheldon
One of my favorites ❤️
Game of Thrones
Enders game, sabriel, Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, ready player one
I’m 2 books into the Red Rising Saga and it’s been a joy to read also The Night Circus was kind of forced on me and I ended up loving it
Loved Red Rising…I didn’t expect to…I usually read thrillers, guess this is thrilling though! ?
Caraval. Didn’t think I’d like it but it was really good.
Bastard Of Istanbul

The Neanderthal Parallax trilogy by Robert J Sawyer
Schooled in Revenge
ACOTAR, I had stayed away from YA for a long time because I hate the typical “teenage love story” but man was I in for a ride with J Maas
Harry Potter ?
I just never wanted to read it but one day I read Prisoner of Azkaban and well let’s just say I am obsessed with it now ?
Butterfly garden
Outlander. Which wasn’t fair in my part. Because I saw it classified as romance I misjudged. I’m glad I gave it a try!
Harry Potter. I am still reading this series but it took me so long to get into it.
