I work at Amazon and listen to books while I'm working. I'm looking for books that will make my night fly by. Books you couldn't stop thinking about. Books you couldn't stand to put down. A book you became downright obsessed with!

I blast through any David Sedaris in a scarily short amount of time
Realityland: True life adventures at Walt Disney World, by Koenig. It tells how Walt bought 27,000 acres in central Florida without sellers finding out it was him and jacking the price of their land. And yes, got that drainage/improvement district passed, which was more novel back in the 60’s. Also tells about construction of the parks. And deaths/accidents inside WDW. The legend that no one has actually died inside a Disney park (the legend goes they throw em in an ambulance and drive em off property) but there’ve definitely been cast members who’ve died on the scene. Good writeups on union vs. Disney squabbling too during construction of Magic Kingdom and EPCOT. I’ve re-read this book many times. But it flows well for non Disney people too.
_Red Velvet by Carol Hedges_ has lived rent free in my head for about twenty years now, it’s fairly short but definitely made an impact on me,
_Taken by Bernadine Kennedy_, i had this bought for me while really unwell one day as a young teen and even though i could barely hold my head up i had to finish it,
_Goodnight Mr Tom by Michelle Magorian_, one of those that was read in class by the teacher while the students followed along with their own copies and occasionally read sections out.. I had read it four or five times before the class had finished and read it yearly even now,
The last and most recent is _Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko_
Mortal Instruments series really kept me going.
I know I’m late to the party but I just finished reading ‘happy place’ by Emily Henry. I couldn’t put it down and I can’t decide if I loved it or hated it… all I know is I haven’t been able to stop thinking about it since and it’s driving me mad. But in a good way.
