Looking for recommendations of easy, fun, popcorn reads. I read for escapism and immersion, and/or to laugh. I am mostly a lowbrow reader, and do not have the attention span for gorgeously written literary works of art.
General likes:
- an engrossing series that gets me addicted and cannot put the book down, but a good standalone also works
- dystopian fiction
- adventure stories
- faster paced
- sci fi and fantasy, but not really into high fantasy or hard sci fi
- been getting into romantasy with some spice recently
- a bit of irreverent humor
- a badass female heroine
- Adult, YA, NA
- Fun memoirs
Books, series, and authors I enjoyed:
- anything by Roald Dahl, both children and adult
- Neil Gaiman – Stardust, Coraline, Good Omens (yes I know this was also Terry Pratchett)
- Brave New World
- A Series of Unfortunate Events
- A Court of Thorns and Roses, Crescent City, Fourth Wing
- David Sedaris’ books
- Life of Pi
- Harry Potter
- Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy
- The House By the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
- VE Schwab’s books
- The Magicians
- Nick Hornby – High Fidelity / About A Boy
- Educated by Tara Westover
- Princess Bride
- A Song of Ice and Fire
- Starter Villain by John Scalzi
