I have been in such a book slump and with the chilly weather, I need something to perk me up. I prefer fiction…I have read some fantasy, psych thriller, mystery, rom-com and contemporary fiction but I’d say my psych thriller and mystery genre is a favorite.
I have already read the SJM universe, Fourth Wing, Twilight, HP, Hunger Games, and most of the “booktok books”. I loved Sue Grafton’s alphabet series and Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum series as well. I really connect with sarcastic humor. All suggestions are appreciated!

I always enjoy reading Misery whenever the weather is chilly and it’s one that has me on the edge of my seat all the way through
Both the Six of Crows and Shadow and Bone series by Leigh Bardugo kept me up til the small hours. A classic case of ‘just one more chapter’. They’re YA fantasy. I read them as an adult and enjoyed every minute.
Most recently, Chuck Palahniuk’s *Diary*. It wasn’t spectacular or anything, but it was very very readable and I needed to find out what exactly was going on.
Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn
The God of the Woods
Leaning more towards fantasy but The bright sword by Lev Grossman. Could not put it down. It’s a modern retelling of King Arthur or rather the knights of the round table post-Arthur. Funny, exciting, and emotional.
The only book I can ever remember staying up all night to read was A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini. It broke me.
Memoirs of a Geisha and The Lovely Bones
Red Rising trilogy- think Hunger Games for adults on other planets
Psych Mystery – The Silent Patient
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
Divergent trilogy
The Frozen River – so good and multiple subplots and strong female character
Project Hail Mary and The Martian (same author)
Dark Matter
Anxious People
