I’ll read almost anything as long as it’s good! Highbrow or lowbrow, as longs as it holds my attention and leaves me fulfilled, I’m in there. No book-shaming here at all! Here are some of my most-loved reads or books I just couldn’t put down:
This Is How You Lose Her– Junot Diaz
I Capture The Castle- Dodie Smith
In Cold Blood– Truman Capote
A Song of Ice and Fire (series)– George R.R. Martin
Americanah– Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Ake: The Years of Childhood– Wole Soyinka
Attachments– Rainbow Rowell
Eleanor & Park– Rainbow Rowell
Gone With The Wind- Margaret Mitchell
To Kill a Mockingbird– Harper Lee
The Handmaid’s Tale– Margaret Atwood
The Sense of an Ending– Julian Barnes
Matilda– Roald Dahl
Blues for Mister Charlie– James Baldwin
Persuasion– Jane Austen
Pride and Prejudice– Jane Austen
Purple Hibiscus- Chimamnda Ngozi Adichie
Their Eyes Were Watching God– Zora Neale Hurston
Nervous Conditions- Tsitsi Dangbarembga
The Bride– Julie Garwood
Sloppy Firsts– Megan McCafferty
Life of Pi– Yann Martel
Captain Corelli’s Mandolin- Louis de Bernieres
Gone Girl– Gillian Flynn
Out of the Dust– Karen Hesse
The Kite Runner– Khaled Hosseini
Fangirl- Rainbow Rowell
The Thing Around Your Neck– Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
I still haven’t read The Life Of Pi! It’s been on my list since it was released (in book form obviously). I love so many of those books too, interested to see you DIDN’T at Half of A Yellow Sun which everyone seems to spout as their favourite Chimamanda book. As much as I like it, I LOVE Purple Hibiscus more, I think I have a thing for coming of age books…

I liked HoaYS but it’s definitely not my fave Chimamanda book. I think it gets more press because it’s “epic” literature.
