The fiction books that consumed my life for a few days. Fast-paced, immersive, emotional, and impossible to stop reading once I started.

I LOVE a good thriller! They are captivatingly creepy and it always blows my mind how the author builds the story and the characters.

I enjoy nonfiction audiobooks as they are easier for me to pay attention to compared to fiction audiobooks
i love that john green narrates his own book. i find him a very strong narrator, and am a fan of his crash course videos. i found myself going “oooh” and “ah so that’s why…” while listening to this book. i wasn’t sure what to expect going into it as ...
