Fiction Books I Have Actually Enjoyed (US)
14
items For many years I have been a die-hard non-fiction reader when it comes to personal book reads. However, this year I started to dive back into the world of fiction. Here are some of the ones I've enjoyed over the years- I'll spare sharing with you the...
This book is written through the form of letters, correspondencs, and honestly I was surprised by how enjoyable that format was to read. Full disclosure: There were times when I peek ahead to see who wrote the letter before reading the letter. 😂
The Correspondent - Virginia Evans
A colleague was reading this and I was looking for something to read so I decided to give it a-go. I knew little about the book so there were some surprising turn of events. I apprecited the dialogue in this book, really made it an enjoyed read. I ha...
Project Hail Mary Andy Weir
After reading Project Hail Mary I decided to read more of Andy Weir's books. I just finished this one (and plan to read The Martian eventually too). I like his style of writing. The tone was a bit different from Project Hail Mary but I enjoyed it and...
Artemis - Andy Weir
I read this book in three day, max. I wanted to know what happened and didn't want to put it down. It was one of those “reading too late into the night” kind of books. It did an excellent job of keeping you guessing and wondering.
The Couple Next Door by Shari Lapena
I think this is the book that really got me back into reading fiction books again. I could not put it down. It had a few twists, some romance, and it was just overall a capitvating must-read!
Broken Country - Clare Leslie Hall
I will say there were parts of this book I did not love - I know odd way to recommend a book. But the mysteriousness of the plot, getting to know the characters and their situations kept me reading until the end. Despite the parts I didn't love, I wo...
Wild Dark Shore - Charlotte McConaghy
I picked up this book to read because I have a teenager who is an avid reader so I like to keep up on books that teens might choose to read. That said, I found the way the story was set up and how it progressed kept me wanting to read to find out “wh...
Thirteen Reasons Why - Jay Asher
I picked up this book to read because I knew there was a movie coming out for it. I have no actually seen the movie yet, but I plan to. You really feel for the characters and the heartache and grief they faced. Defintely a book of grief, pain, but al...
Reminders Of Him - Colleen Hoover
I had been wanting to read this one for a while so I found it at a local library a couple weeks ago and checked it out. Was it fairly predictable? Yes. But it was a light, easy read that, despite being fairly predictable in parts, it was still enjoya...
The Holiday Honeymoon Switch - Julia McKay
This book turned out to be much darker than I expected. An interesting story that I didn't want to put down. What the girls faced was nothing short of terrifying and heartbreaking.
Those Girls - Chevy Stevens
Dark & dystopian yet such a good red!
The Road - Cormac McCarthy
I had to read this book for a Univeristy English course. It was the only book the entire semester that I truly enjoyed, partly because it was the last one in the course and we didn't have time to discuss and disect it in class. I haven't seen the min...
Alias Grace - Margaret Atwood
A lot of hype over the book and controvesy over the movie but it actually was a decent read. This book is solid evidence of the saying “books are better than the movies”.
It Ends With Us - Colleen Hoover
I surprisingly have enjoyed reading Andy Weir's books (no offence to him, but I didn't think I'd enjoy them as much as I have). This is the third one I picked up. It can be a bit technical at times but overall it is an interesting read and I do enjoy...
The Martian - Andy Weir
