Hi all! I'm getting more into reading lately and can't seem to find any books that give me *that* feeling. I want something that's rather simple to read, but impossible to forget. Something that pulls me in and makes me want to keep turning pages.
I'm open to realistic or supernatural stories, standalones or series starters, really anything. No hard limits, I just want a book that leaves me thinking about it long after it's over. What was that book (or books) for you?
