Kristin Hannah
I haven't read all of her books and I tend to read one or two from an author and then need to change up because they write a lot the same. I do feel like I learn a lot from her books some of them take a little bit more time to get going, though.
this one is supposed to be coming out into a movie and I'm excited about that. This is by far my favorite Kristin Hannah book.
The Nightingale
forgiveness is a word that I am constantly thinking about this book shows the power of it. Kristen Hannah is such a wonderful author in this book you will think about it for days afterwards
Night Road
I loved this story. Made me wish I had a sister, but it was amazing the stories they did not know about their mother. It was a story of love and loss.
Winter Garden
that’s what I’m going to be honest took me a little bit to get into but once I did, it was so good and I learned so much about the great depression that I did not know anything about. This is one reason why I like historical fiction I will literally ...
The Four Winds
Micaela Smeltzer
her books are a little bit more steamy, and are right on that edge of potentially inappropriate with some of the topics but I still liked them. I have read other of her books, but these are my favorites.
I really liked this book when I talk about her books are on that edge of inappropriate. This is about a high school counselor and one of his students. I still liked this coming of age book.
Sweet Dandelion
this is the first part of a three part series. I have only read the first two the third one comes out in September, so I'm excited for that. I don't know why, but she likes to write about things that are slightly on the edge of inappropriate. Once ag...
The Confidence of Wildflowers: Wildflower Duet (1) (Wildflower Series)
I miss quoted I guess the third part in this series actually came out last September I just missed it. I’m not going to recommend the third book because I haven’t read it but it is going on my Audible today and I will listen to it next.
The Resurrection of Wildflowers: Wildflower Duet (2) (Wildflower Series)
colleen hoover
I know she's a popular author, and a lot of people have read her books. I have read quite a few of them and not all of them are honestly my favorite. I recommend reading her end doses like a couple of her books and then go read something else because...
I think this is my favorite Colleen Hoover book. I have read a lot of her books but I’m really only going to recommend like four or five. I don’t know her books just don’t stick with me like others. The ones I recommend are the ones that stuck with m...
Ugly Love: A Novel: Hoover, Colleen: 9781476753188
I think this is one of the books that got everybody reading Colleen Hoover and it’s really different than a lot of her other books. It’s good but the ending is just wow I’m going to give it my second favorite of hers
Verity: Hoover, Colleen: 9781538724736
this is a really good two-part series by Hoover I think this one is being made into a movie so if you like to read stuff that’s going to be a movie sometime this would be a good read
By Colleen Hoover | It Ends With Us: A Novel: & It Starts With Us | Combo Of 2 Bestsellers
lucy score
they're basic love stories with some twists to them but I think I like her books because of her description of the main characters especially the men they're bit steamy, but I like that she has a couple series I like to read books and series. That wa...
This is a three part series about a small town called knockemout. each focuses on a different couple, but he will still see the lives of the original couples in each book the men are so dreamy.
Things We Never Got Over (Knockemout)
i’ve read other Lucy score books, but this series is my favorite
Things We Hide from the Light (Knockemout Series, 2)
the first two books focus on two brothers. This one focuses on their best friend, but the brothers are still in the story.
Things We Left Behind (Knockemout Series, 3)
sarah addison allen
I got this author recommendation from another avid reader. It wasn't my usual style but they were very well written.
Not as much romance in those books but very well written and unexpected mystery
The Peach Keeper: A Novel (Random House Reader's Circle)
this was my friends favorite book of all time. she said she reads it at least once a year I did really like it. I wouldn’t give it my favorite book of all time Mark, but it definitely has a twist in the end that makes you think and then you have to r...
The Sugar Queen: A Novel (Random House Reader's Circle)
nonfiction
I love, all things about the British royalty and so I had to read this book or listen to it rather, I have listened to other books. This one is probably my favorite. I love that he does the reading himself too.
Spare: Prince Harry The Duke of Sussex - Books
totally completely out of my genre but I gave it a whirl and actually ended up really liking it. I’m a huge fan of Yellowstone and Taylor Sherdan and picked up the rates to the book so it is going to be either like a mini series or TV shows so I’m ex...
Empire of the Summer Moon: Quanah Parker and the Rise ...
I don’t know remember where I found this one, but it was like reading a dateline story it was good
The Girls Are Gone: The True Story of Two Sisters Who Vanished, the Father Who Kept Searching, and the Adults Who Conspired to Keep the Truth Hidden
I added this to the nonfiction. This is one authors memoir of her life growing up, isolated from society by her parents. This was an excellent read.
Educated: A Memoir
Christina Lauren
Christina, Lauren is the one you want to read on the beach it's easy reading has a little comedy and always has that happy ending
this is one that actually has a little bit of comedy in it, so it was a variation of what I normally read
The Unhoneymooners: Lauren, Christina
this is my favorite one of hers a little bit of everything love loss, and of course a happy ending
Love and Other Words: Lauren, Christina
this one's probably her funniest of my favorites of hers. She's another author that her books are a lot alike so I recommend reading a couple going to something else and then coming back to others.
The Honeymoon Crashers
Elin Hilderbrand
another perfect beach read I have read a lot of hers and really don't have any that I don't like these are just my top three
all of her books are set on the East Coast and are just a different love stories and coming of age stories. I really liked this one.
28 Summers
set in that summer of 69. I guess you can call it a historical fiction. maybe it helps that they’re on the beach when you’re doing beach reads this is about a family with secrets and becoming of age for a young girl
Summer of '69
A story of twin sisters in their trials and tribulations
The Identicals
Lisa Wingate
I have tried to read other books of hers, but not gotten into them but these two honestly, one of them might be one of my favorite books of all time
this book here might very well be my favorite book of all time it’s a historical fiction, but some very true things that happened. I just loved the book and I have re-listened to it a couple of times.
Before We Were Yours: A Novel: Wingate, Lisa
another one of her books, very similar to my favorite one of hers. These are the only two books of hers I could ever get into, but they were both some of my favorites.
The Book of Lost Friends: A Novel: Wingate, Lisa
Jennifer Robson
To survive the Holocaust, a young Jewish woman must pose as a Christian farmer’s wife. i'm gonna give this one my second favorite book ever. I loved the setting in the ending and everything in between.
Our Darkest Night: A Novel of Italy and the Second World War
I read our darkest night first, and fell in love with those author, and then moved to this book. I wanted to read some more World War I information because I knew less about that war. I loved this book my favorite was our darkest night , but this one...
Somewhere in France: A Novel of the Great War
this is her part two of the great war. I tried to read other ones of her books, but couldn’t really get into them, but these three are really good.
After the War is Over: A Novel
other authors
these are books that I've only read one from the author, but really enjoyed the book
this is actually what I am currently listening to and feel comfortable enough to recommend it. I cannot stop listening. I was recommended this author by a friend I will definitely try other of her books.
Amazon.com: The Alice Network: A Reese's Book Club Pick
this was a really good book and a very well-made movie. If you like to be able to watch a movie right afterwards, this is a good book to go grab.
Where the Crawdads Sing: Reese's Book Club (A Novel)
this is probably the scariest mystery I've read I don't really read those, but it was a good book
Book Review: The Turn of the Key - The Beaded Sheep
I was recommended this book by a friend at first I wasn’t sure about it, and it did take me a minute to get into it, but by the end, I absolutely loved it
