The Book of Strange New Things by Michael Faber. One to enjoy reading and worth discussing with someone else once they’ve read it.
Also, a now not so dirty secret liking for the Secret Library series by Genevieve Cogman. Silly and easy but fun brain downtime.
Read and enjoyed American Gods and The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman so will be reading more of his next year (his children’s books are good too!).
Was introduced to Neal Stephenson this year by way of Seveneves and Cryptonomicron so will be reading more of his in the future.
Along with a ton of Lee Child and Harlen Coben I’ve also read a heap of Michael Connelly, which are probably my favourites of the detective/murder/law themed easy reads. I share a kindle account with my MiL so I read a lot of this stuff as it’s what she buys!
