Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE reading. However, it’s seldom that I find a book that I absolutely can’t put down, and am sad when it ends. It’s even more rare to find a book that I would avidly recommend to other people. Here’s the thing; I love all genres and am interested in a variety of topics.

Recently, I liked reading “1984” by George Orwell, “Mistborn” by Brandon Sanderson, “The Joy Of Living: Unlocking The Secret And Science Of Happiness” by Yongey Mingyur. But, none really wowed me.

I’m looking for a book to captivate my attention and take me on a journey; a book I can get lost in. Ideally, a fantasy or thriller novel. My other hobbies besides reading include hiking and camping. I like authors who don’t over-explain plots and characters’ thought processes. I like when chapters are written from different character’s perspectives, if done well. Of course, I like when you cannot predict the ending. I wish I could give you more to go on here, but I tried my best! Thank you in advance.

I recently enjoyed reading Shanghai’d: The Adventures Begin by Curtis Stephen Burdick and Morrow’s Con: Opening Gambit by Earl James.

I read both of these books in one sitting. I hope you find a good book to get lost in.

I'd really love Women Who Run With The Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes. Definitely 1000 stars from me. I'm currently reading this book and I'm enjoying how the author intertwined every stories and myth about women's psyche.

If you liked 1984, you might enjoy Brave New World by Aldous Huxley.
