I had ten, yes ten, lists of the best books from 2015. I'm working my way through those to make sure I haven't missed anything I should read and then I'm all caught up. For now. Because, as you know by now, I'm a sucker for lists!
Great collections of lists! I love book lists and I haven't seen several of these. I definitely want to check out the gripping reads for traveling and the others I haven't gotten too. Not that my TBR needs to be any bigger!
ReplyDeleteI've got TBR lists in several places and I'm trying to work them all into one list. It's over 1000 titles right now and growing every day! I've trying to cut back on the books I request and only to buy things that are already on my list. But then there are so many books I never heard of that sound so good!
DeleteHmmm, I've only read The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo series and it was good despite the crazy violence, something I'm not usually into. I guess it helped the protagonist was a girl who kicked ass. I read the first book of the Outlander series. This is a historical fiction book kicked up several steps as there are tons of historical information in it. I personally thought it was okay. I know many are fans of it and the TV series. I want to read more of the classics but they'd have to be on audio. I won't be able to sit through one.
ReplyDeleteI was just talking to a coworker about the Outlander series yesterday. I only got as far as the first book, partly because I'm not a fan of time travel. On the other hand, it does allow Gabaldon to take the characters people love (or love to hate!) and move them into new scenarios and times so she can right about new historical times, which is a fun idea.
