Book suggestions

I'm stressed and the best way for me to relax is to read.   Can anyone recommend a good read?  I read pretty much anything and have nearly 400 books on my kindle. 

TIA! 

Re: Book suggestions

  • My most recent favorite book was Little Bee. I'm not sure of the author, but it was great!

  • @Sing2phins‌ The Book Thief was NOT what I expected, and found its structure distracting at first, but I am so glad I finished it!

    @sing2phins Even though you have caused me to cry twice today, seriously thank you for your suggestion of The Fault in Our Stars.  I just finished it and it was just what I needed. 

    Thank you so much ladies for all of the suggestions.  I will more than likely read them all.  I have read The Hunger Games trilogy as well as some Jodi Picoult and Jennifer Weiner. 

    @kellykinns I will read almost anything.  I am always willing to take suggestions.

    Wait, you just read the whole thing this afternoon? Wow! So glad you enjoyed it!

    I started it at 8pm and finished it right before I posted. I am a reading freak. I will bankrupt us with my kindle. I also don't sleep much.

  • I was an English major and a HUGE lit. nerd, so I LOVE these threads. You ladies have good taste!

    @wedding06 The Glass Castle is one of my all-time favorite books. I knew I liked you.

    @shanbp I've only read I Know This Much Is True and She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb.  I liked She's Come Undone better.

  • @kellykinns‌ I liked the first two books but the third killed it for Me. I won't even see movies now. The third book was a huge fail. Not worth reading the series to be seriously dissapointed at the end
  • All the Gillian Flynn books are good!
  • I just devoured Gone Girl in less than 72 hours.

    Kate Morton's The Distant Hours is a good one that encompasses several genres- romance, suspense/mystery, historical

    I also like Ken Follet's Fall of Giants or The World Without End.

  • Let's Pretend This Never Happened by Jenny Lawson aka the Bloggess 
    Any Gilian Flynn books
    Any Steve Berry books
    Time Traveler's Wife


    Oh, The Time Traveler's Wife is excellent.  The movie blew, though.
    To be honest, it's rare that I ever see a movie that even compares to the book. books > movies.
