The Perks Of Being A Book Addict discussion

You know those books that are fantastic, that you know are just as good, if not better than, the Hunger Games or whatever book is popular that week? Comment them here so other people can learn about them, and love them too.

And you know those books that we love so much, that you just feel like the book is yours, and you don't want anyone else to know about it. We all have them. Is it okay that we want to keep them all to ourselves?

The Way We Fall

good topic by the way.

I was lucky enough to be given a free book called Heron Park by C.K. Raggio for review, look it up it was a great crime novel and a must read!!!
Every good book deserves to told, never keep a good book to yourself they are meant to be shared!

Throne of Glass, it's an awesome fantasy book with a badass heroine :)

Bristles was really good! and The Iron Butterfly ~~ both free (or really cheap) ebooks, and worth the read!

The unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
Revolution by Jennifer Donnely
Between shades of Grey by Ruta Sepetys ( not linked to fifty shades of grey

Thanks! I've heard a lot of these were really good!

The Interpretation of Murder & The Death Instinct both by Jed Rubenfeld.
Another one that I enjoyed reading was The Twentieth Wife by Indu Sundersaran

Anything by Amitav Ghosh, particularly Sea of Poppies and River of Smoke (books 1& 2 of the Ibis trilogy.

Great topic I now have some more books to read,.

Mortal Engines by Phillip Reeve - this whole series is so good!
Also The Chaos Walking Trilogy!

I would love it if you guys could recommend books that aren't in series. Looking for one-off gems.

The Naming.

Books that I happen to stumble across that I loved!!

well whenever I mention Ellen Hopkins people are always like who? haha any book from her is absolutely fantastic and in my opinion better then the popular books out there. Impulse is my favorite from her!

First two books in this series, both amazing


Discovery of witches sucked me in, Shadow of night was a little slower to do so but still really good. can't wait for book 3.

Picked this up on a whim and love it.

Anything by or

Noughts and Crosses series by Malorie Blackman is a good one! I found out about it through a reading challenge and it was better than I expected!

I agree!! I read them all and loved them from the first chapter. :)

Robert A Heinlein's "Number of the Beast"

Only one book...no series and a great adventure!!

He Never Liked Cake by Janna Leyde
So great!

Amy Bartol has a series called Premonition. They are really great, I was skeptical and thought it was going to be another Twilight but its so much better. I love the Indie books.

Maybe most of you are very familiar with this book but to those who haven't read it, READ IT!!! (im not really forcing you though, do whatever you want with your life) This was just the most amazing crazy, twisted book ever. The feels are just too much too handle and the prologue hooked me immediately and you kind of just forget everything once you start reading it. Best stand-alone I've read so far. It also made me love the author so much. I really look up to Katja Millay for being simply brilliant considering this is her first book. Her writing is just smart and funny and awesome. There's too much to say about this book.

The Crystor series


Something Witchy


Lovely Vicious

@Khatie I loved Noughts and Crosses! The whole series was amazing.

I also really really liked Angel Food by Brittany Tuttle. Awesome read :D

I would like to recommend James Clemens. He wrote a series called "The Banned and the Banished," and it was one of the better series I have read. It was full of wonderful descriptions, lots of action, magic, fighting, and fantastic creatures.

Oohh, I love this topic! Thanks for posting.
I loved:
The Little Bookstore of Big Stone Gap: A Memoir of Friendship, Community, and the Uncommon Pleasure of a Good Book
Big-Box Swindle: The True Cost of Mega-Retailers and the Fight for America's Independent Businesses
The Winter of Our Disconnect
Notes from the Internet Apocalypse
Escape

I absolutely loved Lesia's Dream! It's a historical fiction that not many people know about, and it's my favourite hist-fic to this day.

Ella Minnow Pea is really good, and nobody outside my senior honors English class seems to know about it. Also, Castle Waiting.

I love the Downside Ghosts series by Stacia Kane.
