Just so this list isn’t the four books that everyone knows I recommend to everyone (RPO, Red Rising, Art of Racing in the Rain, etc), I’m going to add a stipulation on this list, that it must be a book I’ve read (re-reads don’t count) in the last 365 days.
Look at that: I’m trying to branch out. Aren’t you proud of me?
Also, if I’m looking for books I can recommend to EVERYONE they need to have the potential to offer something for everyone. Fantasy and Sci-Fi don’t always do that, which helps me narrow things down greatly.
Without any further caveats, here is this Thursday’s Top 4, hosted by Ally @ Ally Writes Things.
Hex
It’s super creepy, but set in the real world. It’s the kind of thing any Stephen King fan would dig, and if Stephen King fans aren’t an all encompassing market, I don’t know what is.
The Graveyard Book
This one’s a little tougher, being that it’s technically a children’s book. Regardless, anyone who reads this book is going to get something from it.
Macbeth
Whether it’s memories of forced readings in high school English class, or just a gritty crime-drama, you’d have to be dead to not be on the edge of your seat for the end of this one.
Artemis
The Martian proved that the world is ready for certain forms of science fiction. While this one is quite a bit further “out there” I think it would pull in most of the people who enjoyed Weir’s first offering.
Fun fact about this post: Six of Crows almost made the cut, but I read it 365 days +2 weeks ago.
