I'm looking into reading more books in 2018 since I've been slacking off this year and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations or books that they've just enjoyed this year!

Looking for other people that just enjoy reading!

I usually like to read some fantasy things, YA stuff, horror and biographies. I'm in the middle of reading American Gods by Neil Gaiman - one of my favourite authors.

    That's still one of the main books by him that I haven't had the chance to read yet!

    Dark Matter by Blake Crouch

    Is that part of the Wayward Pines trilogy or is it separate?

    It’s separate and a sci-fi

    I have the same goal! I love to read, if you like mysteries, "The Night Film" is excellent. I just finished it.

    I love to read as well but I've been slacking off big time this year. I don't think I've heard about that one before, who is it by?

    Because of the TV adaptation on SyFy, I started reading The Expanse. Enjoying the series. Enjoyed Millennium, the series upon which The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo was based. Actually, they did Swedish versions of all three books by the original author, Stieg Larsson. Unfortunately, he died in 2004. Almost as unfortunately, his estate allowed the series to continue under a different author. Layer Cake and Viva La Madness by J.J. Connally. Anything by Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens. Vonnegut. To Kill a Mockingbird.

    Idk if anything I'm into will interest you. I've been reading romance novels and been thinking about getting into mysteries
