Ready Player One. It is not my typical genre (I mainly read historical fiction) but was just so good. I listened to it on Audible read by Will Wheaton with my 11 year old son and it just came alive. One of our favorites of all time.
@Eri YES! I’m an 80’s kid so it was really nostalgic for me and then to be able to share that with my son. It was a great book but the experience of reading it with my son and having him love it as much as I did definitely contributed to making it a favorite.
Water For Elephants. I love the time it’s set in, a little romance but not too mushy, I LOVE elephants. I couldn’t put it down. That book made me laugh out out, cry, and I yelled “f*** yeah!” pretty loud a few times. Especially the ending ?? Not many books can make me feel like that. Definitely one of my favorites. Will be re reading that again for sure
I’m reading it now. The Outsider by Stephen King. It is a murder mystery with police work (forensics, detection, etc) with the classic Stephen King touch.
The Shatter Me series. I’m on the 3rd book now, the emotions are just so well written that I can feel it so vividly. I’m invested in the characters and the world lol
A Man Called Ove. I struggled to get through the first few chapters. I asked myself “Self, why are you reading about this grouch?” But then through his recollections I began to like this very unlikable guy and I started rooting for him. By the end I could hardly read the words through tears. Highly recommend !
Bare Faced Messiah: The True Story of L. Ron Hubbard. The author did an excellent job of presenting the facts, based on public records and actual interviews, and putting them against the published lies put out there by Mr. Hubbard and Scientology. I’m fascinated by cults, and this was a great way to see how one man was able to manipulate all those around him. Definitely worth the read.
I need more than one pick. I’ve read than 200 books this year: A Man Called Ove first book to make me cry and I read a lot. Big, Little Lies thrilling til the end.
the Inexplicable Logic of Life just a beautiful book, also made me cry.
I need more than one. Beasts of extraordinary circumstances was amazing. It was so beautifully written and the book has stuck with me since reading! The broken girl: kept me on my toes and couldnt put it down The lying game: also kept me on my toes and couldnt put down Daughter of a pirate king: I love pirates so already a point but it was well written and also didnt want to put it down
Super Powereds by Drew Hayes. It’s amazing. I can’t say enough good things. It’s a 4 book series that’s like Harry Potter in college with super heroes instead of wizards. It’s more mature, with more humor, more drinking, and a lot of heart.
Curious charms of Arthur pepper It was cute and short but really nice I am a thriller reader and this was a nice change of pace Also This is How it Alway is, is a really good one that opens ur eyes to a different life style
The Red Queen The Glass Sword The Kings Cage and War Storm by Victoria Aveyard This sereis of Mare Barrow It is YA book series She has 2 more I havent read yet of the same person callred QueenSong and Steel Scars I like the characters in it and how they make decisions to help other people
