Book Recommendation

[Chickerdoodle13]

I really liked the series Wool by Hugh Howey. It's dystopian fiction, but I thought the writing was very good and I enjoyed the characters. It's actually five books in one, so you could kill five birds with one stone

Catch 22 is another of my favorites. Also, anything Michael Crichton, especially Jurassic Park and The Lost World. One of my other favorites is another book called The Lost World but by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

I am a librarian. I read anything but true crime and horror. I love your recommendations. My challenge has 75 different types. So I'm trying to get new ideas. I'll post it tomorrow so you can see.

Looking forward to seeing it. I love reading!

I'm stuck on a couple. Author with my initials. Book recommended by a stranger. Book that will bring me joy. YA Bestseller.

Do all the initials have to be exactly the same?

A. W. Hartoin or A. W. Exley are a couple...

YA bestellers, J.K. Rowling is an obvious, I love Tamora Pierce (Song of the Lioness series, Wild Magic, and Circle series), and Susan Cooper did The Dark is Rising series...

Mercedes Lackey wrote a huge series I enjoyed very much, Heralds of Valdemar...

75 books nice going! I've set my challenge at 30 and I'm on book 3. One of my favourites from my 2015 challenge was The Scavengers Daughter by Mike McIntyre, it's about a journalist trying to track down a serial killer who uses medieval torture devices, really enjoyed that.

Another good detective-ish book was Halfhead by Stuart McBride, action packed, sci-fi and detective all rolled into one. I don't think I put that book down more than twice and that was only to sleep but it might not be your cup of tea.

@Rosto that's an interesting challenge. Some of those I'd have a hard time with (like self-improvement books usually just annoy me, lol). Can a single book count more than once? For instance, #11 (book less than 150 pages) and #19 (book you can finish in one day).

 

[Rosto]

No, I think the idea is to read 75 different titles. But this is just a guide, you could do what you choose. Even do half---like a half marathon. I picked this challenge so that I would get out and read books I normally would not choose. You just never know what may make a person a life long lover of reading.

Night by Elie Wiesing is a short book about the experiences of a holocaust survivor. I've read it maybe three times. Excellent and chilling book.

I also like Animal Farm by George Orwell. Both are short books.

 

[Rosto]

Thanks, added Night on my list. I have already read Animal Farm.
