Ten Books I Enjoyed Recently (last yearish) That Weren't My Typical Genre/Type of Book -

Tina
I don't normally read M/M books, but I adored/loved/worshipped Carry On by Rainbow Rowell and while I normally stay away from book that overly contain emails, documents, interviews and so on, I was really impressed with Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff
Milka
1. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
2. Graphic Novel edition of Howl by Allen Ginsberg

Arlene
I don't venture out of my reading comfort zone too much, so this one was hard. I did come up with:
1. Daughters Unto Devils by Amy Lukavics - YA Horror is new to me, and it was rather captivating.
2. Illuminae by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman - I rarely pick up YA SciFi, but when I do they seem to be a hit for me, and this one was!

Honestly, I don't go beyond my normal comfort zone either. However, a book buddy of mine sent me a book from Europe and I hadn't read this author before and gave it a go! I ended up really liking it! So here is my one and only I can think of at this point...
1. Trouble by Non Pratt
(I received Tell the Wind and Fire by Sarah Rees Brennan. It's a magical thriller. I'm a big chicken, so anything with THRILLER makes me want to run with my tail between my legs! I'm going to give it a go! Can I get a High-Five!?)

  1. I tend not to go outside of my comfort zone either. Great picks ladies, a lot of them are new to me.

  2. Ah, those sound like great books. Most of the time I don't go out of my comfort zone unless I've read a quote that I loved. That's why I read The Vespertine.
