I'm sure this will have been a thread before but I like books and I'm particularly into reading at the moment but I also like to talk about my favourite books. I like a pretty wide range.
Harry Potter is my all time favourite and I like other fantasy but it can be a very hit and miss genre. I also like the Percy Jackson and His Dark Materials series. I'm currently really into the Empyrean series and I recently read a book called Ink Blood Sister Scribe which I really enjoyed.
I really like Jodie Picoult as an author and enjoy the twists and moral dilemmas of her books.
I also quite like ww2 based fiction, both based on real stories and not. The Book Thief, Tattooist of Auschwitz and Sisters under the rising sun being my stand outs.
I like a good thriller and enjoy Linwood Barclay, Steve Cavanagh and M.W.Craven books. I do also read the Robert Galbraith books but I do find them too long.
I like books with autistic characters. I enjoyed the Rosie Project series even if the main character was a bit of a stereotype. I loved the Colour of Bee Larkham's murder and the Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime. I also enjoy the books by Elle McNicoll and Libby Scott and Rebecca Westcott. Similarly, I really enjoyed Eleanor Oliphant and a Man called Ove. Their characters weren't said to be autistic but gave out a similar vibe. Where the Crawdads sing was also brilliant for this reason but her character was more because she'd been separated from society rather than being an autistic character.
From being a teenager I also really like Malorie Blackman and the Noughts and Crosses series is one of my favourite series I've read. I find it so clever.
Going against the autistic stereotype, I'm not really one for non fiction books. I do like to read about non fiction things that I'm interested in such as animals and neurodivergency but I like to look up the particular thing I'm interested in rather than reading huge amounts of information.
Do any of you like the same books? What books do you all enjoy?
