Good Book Recommendations

[NeedaVaca]

I just finished NOS4A2 by Joe Hill-He is Stephen King's son. It's not the kind of book I normally read but someone recommended it and I really liked it. Very dark, kind of disturbing but I will read more of his books. Next for me is Horns.

Is anyone else using Oyster Books? It's only $10 a month.. it's basically Netflix for books. I'm not sure if brand new books are on there, but I've found some good ones that I'd been wanting to read. It's definitely cut down on my book budget! Right now I'm rereading all of the V.C. Andrews books

Oh, and I just found Stephen King's 11/22/63 which I've been wanting to read happyface

She was my favorite author growing up. I've read all of them except the newest ones. I think the ones that were published after she died.

My summer reading goal is to read them all again.

I started reading it at nap time and I'm hooked! I've never really read many Stephen King books, but I'm REALLY liking this one. I'm a speed reader so I skim more than I actually read, if that makes sense. He's got me slowing down and paying attention to every detail.

Oh, yeah...if you are a skimmer you need to stop.

Stephen King is HIGHLY regarded for the details. If you read any more of his books, you will see "little connections" to other books he wrote.

I believe he is a good writer because of those little details....it ****s you in.


When you are done, I can recommend other books of his that are TOTALLY worth reading.....

I just read a "day-reader" (well I call it a day-reader because I can read it in a day) of his called "Joyland".... OMG!....I could NOT put it down and read it in a single afternoon.

My mom is a huge Stephen King fan (even got to meet him) so I've been reading his books since I first learned to read.

I've noticed that he's referred to Shawshank Prison several times already. I'm about a third done with the book. I'm enjoying his writing style!

HUGE fan of Janet Evanovich....LAUGH outloud funny!!

Her series are numbered and her 20th one is out now. I think it's called Takedown Twenty.

Easy reading but can't put it down until I am through.

Stephen King's last one was AWESOME! Totally worth the read if you are a fan.

I also read a lot of true crime and legal/mysteries. I can recommend some good authors if you are into those kinds of books.

Otherwise, my good read right now is called "Slouching Towards Adulthood" by Sally Koslow

It's about why so many "kids" don't leave home even after turning 30 etc.... it's funny and insightful.

Janet Evanovich - How have I ever not read her before? Thanks! I started with the 1st one on vacation and now I will read them all

They don’t have V.C. Andrews touch. I also loved me some Judy Blume.

Anyhow I loved Infidel.

I am now reading I am Nujood, age 10 and Divorced.

I know this is an older post but I had to say thank you for this recommendation. I have borrowed several of her books on my kindle and am thoroughly enjoying them.

Haven't quite finished it yet but Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn is an excellent read with some twists I wasn't expecting.

I'm currently reading "The Business of Child Care" by Gail H Jack, I'm almost done and can recommend it

So glad this topic has been resurrected.
Have been reading lots of Kristin Hannah and Harlan Coben this past summer and fall. Coben is a mystery writer and always has twists at the end. Hannah, lots of emotion. Love both those authors!

I'll have to go back and jot down some of these titles. I'm out of good reading material and need to head to the library this weekend.
