Here's a list from the books I've read since I've started reading. It'd be cool if ya could mention the ones you've read out of them and why you liked um. Feel free to recommend books as well! :-D I'll put the amount of stars behind it as well. I'll leave out the boring ass books that I had to read for school and only do the ones I read in my free-time.

2012:
Rosie Rushton - Last Seen Wearing Trainers - 5/5 stars (sooo much nostalgia, and it's so good as well)
Virginia Andrews - Melody - 5/5 stars (kind of cliched love story-esque. Which I hate. But nostalgia gets me each time. But the excitment is still there for sure. Kind of like the movie Safe Haven)

2013:
Kjel Genberg - Under Fire - 3/5 stars (meh)
Dean Koontz - Velocity - 5/5 stars (the best book I read in 2013 for sure, you'll die)
Robert Goddard - Never Go Back - 5/5 stars (Def recommended, it's soo good)
Jeff Abbott - Fear - 3/5 stars (it's good, but mafia was never rlly my thing)
Stephen King - Riding The Bullet - 4/5 (read in one night, good ghost story)
Neil Cross - Captured - 4/5 (dark af)
Robert Goddard - Set In Stone - 4/5 (major nostalgia tho)
Dean Koontz - Icebound - 3/5 (predictable and boring)
Nancy Pickard - The Virgin of Small Plains - 4/5 (good beginning, meh end)
Dean Koontz - The Mask - 5/5 (creepy af)
Lee Child - The Affair - 4/5 (somewhat nostalgic, it's def fun)
Logan McRae - Cold Granite - 5/5 (holy shit this was dark, but so good)
John Katzenbach - The Madman's Tale - 3/5 (good asylum tale, but extremely slow)
Stephen King - Full Dark, No Stars - 4/5 stars (a bunch of good creative, dark-ending type King stories)
Karen Rose - You Belong to Me - 5/5 stars (I was a sucker for this book, the love story is actually good for once, and it remains being very dark with the murders and stuff. Underrated author)
Karin Slaughter - Unseen - 5/5 (good short story with a really dark twist ending)
Tom Egeland - De Bespieder (I read it in dutch, so don't know the english title (:) - 4/5 (good beginning, and even better ending. It's kind of like the csi form of The Last Vacancy movie)
Ken Follett - Code to Zero - 3/5 (to much scientific facts throughout and kinda slow)
Suzanne Collins - The Hunger Games - 5/5 (was sooo fascinated by this, but it's now a bit dimmed down. The love story is kinda weak, but the rest is amazeballs)
Suzanne Collins - Catching Fire - 5/5 (I liked this one even more than the first one)
Suzanne Collins - Mockingjay - 4/5 (rushed ending of the trilogy, kinda meh tbh)

2014:
Dean Koontz - Hideaway - 5/5 (possibly the best 2014 book I read, it's very good with some dark insight into a psychopaths mind. Epic battle between good and evil towards the end. Movie sucks ass tho)
Suzanne Vermeer - Northern Lights - 4/5 (beautiful scenery setting, kind of slow storyline tho)
Veronica Roth - Divergent - 5/5 stars (it's good)
James Patterson - The Quickie - 2/5 stars (bleghh, so stupid. Don't touch it)
Stephen King - The Shining - 5/5 stars (if you haven't read this yet, go read it!)
Peter de Zwaan - Charlesville Jackpot - 3/5 (to much action, but good storyline tho)
Stephen King - Pet Semetary - 5/5 stard (saddest book ever, and scary af)
Femke Roobol - The Last Winter - 4/5 stars (I was a sucker for this at the beginning, but now not so much, the ending is kinda meh, but everything else is great)
Veronica Roth - Insurgent - 5/5 stars (it's very good, movie changed alot from the source material. I like the book version better)
Veronica Roth - Allegiant - 4/5 (author made a gutsy move which was awesome, but the rest was slow and kind of forced)
J Kent Messum - Bait - 3/5 (a bunch of greedy as druggies. It's technically Lost on crack)

2015 (best year of reading so far)
George R.R. Martin - A Game of Thrones - 5/5 (perfection)
George R.R. Martin - A Clash of Kings - 5/5 (good continuation)
George R.R. Martin - A Storm of Swords - 5/5 (so eventful)
George R.R. Martin - A Feast for Crows - 5/5 (I love this one, it's slow-burn build up tho)
George R.R. Martin - A Dance With Dragons - 5/5 (My least favorite of the series, but still really good)
Ransom Riggs - Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children - 5/5 (dark photography mixed with rich fantasy... Soooo good)
Ransom Riggs - Hollow City - 5/5 stars (finished this one today, not as good as the firsy, but still so good)

Am now reading Stephen King - Thinner.

I know it's alot, but would love to hear from y'all. :-D

5/5

I like Harry Potter

I like Harry Potter too! I have Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, but I haven't started it. I think the last non-comic book I read was An Ember in the Ashes by Sabaa Tahir.

BOOKS ARE FOR NERDS

(4/5) it was terrible and I hated it.
(3/5) honestly the writer should never write again and they should kill themselves.

I am big into the Mafia movie books. I have read Casino and others like that.

I'm reading War & Peace at the moment and pretending to like it because I'm a pretentious asshole

I'm sure there's another book thread. Where is it? :P

Just finished "A Gentleman in Moscow" and I think it might be my new favorite novel ever. Highly recommend.

We need a "Last Book I Read" thread, don't we?

Which is the best book, that can help me to improve my self-confidence in making a strong impression on people around me.
Someone suggested to me "How to Win Friends and Influence People", should it be the right book for me? or other books that can help me.

When I googled this, that book was the first suggestion I found.
