I love true story type books. What is a good book that you just could not put down? It can be fiction or nonfiction.
-
I am really enjoying the Book Thief.
-
I highly recommend The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson. All of Erik Larson's books are non-fiction and are well written!
-
I enjoyed:
The Book Thief
The Storyteller
The Fault in our Stars
Wonder
Just started Hopeless on my Kindle and it's good so far. I'm looking for more ideas after this though! -
@T.H.O.U.: @Bao: I always recommend The Book Thief too!
It's one of the best books I have ever read!
-
I read a bunch of books this last year and I loved:
Song of Achilles
The Descendants (I loved the book, but wasn't a fan of the movie)
Before I Go to Sleep
Defending Jacob
Where'd You Go Bernadette
Every DayEveryone keeps recommending The Book Thief and The Fault in Our Stars, and those are definitely next on my list!
-
My favorite book of all time is "Loving Frank" - it's based on Frank Lloyd Wright's life loosely, although it stretches the truth a little :).
This year I have enjoyed:
The Interestings
The Last Original Wife (couldn't put down)
The Submission (absolutely FASCINATING - it's a novel, but is about 9/11 and the creation of the memorial)
Saturday Night Widows (true story)The Book Thief is definitely next on my list!
-
The Book Thief is my latest go-to recommendation. It's excellent. I also always recommend anything by Tana French. I don't normally like mysteries, but I get addicted to her books!
-
@Lindsay05: I'm currently reading Dark Places by Gillian Flynn (author of Gone Girl) and it's pretty good!
-
@locavore_mama: Ooh, yeah. I actualy liked Dark Places (and Sharp Objects) WAY better than Gone Girl.
-
@littlebug: good! Bc I didn't really like the ending of Gone Girl.
-
I just read Me Before You and I couldn't put it down ( just be forewarned its quite sad...)
-
The Astronaut's Wives Club was good. I'm currently reading Hungry Monkey by Matthew Amster-Burton, which is a SAHD's account of his culinary adventures with his daughter (4 yo when he wrote the book) and it's pretty engaging so far.
-
I loved defending Jacob and fault in our stars
Definitely want to try dark places and where'd you go Bernadette -
Thanks ladies! I will have to check some of these out
-
I am favoriting this! I need to add the above to my good reads
