I got a few Amazon gift cards for my birthday and want to get some new books. What have you read recently that you loved? I like to read most genres. Thanks!

Well, my favorite book is Blood Meridian by Cormac McCarthy, but it's absolutely not for everyone. It's completely fucked up and violent and horrifying, but it's beautiful too. I love his writing, but he's definitely an acquired taste.
My other favorite is Lamb by Christopher Moore.
Another good book I've read this year was Nine Lives (nonfiction about New Orleans).
The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen. Actually you can't really go wrong with any of her books, although I haven't read her very latest.
I'm in the middle of Woman With a Secret by Sophie Hannah and I'm really enjoying it so far.
Have you read Throne of Glass series? (Only 4 of 6 books are currently out.) I love that series. Is this anything like that? Amazon has been recommending this to me, but I read a LOT of crap (and I enjoy it!) so, I am never sure if it is a crap recommendation or good. LOL.
No, not at all, lol. I devoured the first book and read the sequel. It's definitely not for everyone, though. That's for sure.
I really liked The Kind Worth Killing. I dunno. I wasn't into this.
I LOVED The Kind Worth Killing. I finished You, but it is no where near on par with The Kind Worth Killing. Like, I sympathized with the killer in TKWK, the guy in You creeped me the fuck out. I did NOT want him to get away with it. In fact, he reinforced why I hate dating/men. LOL.

Exactly! I could already tell from the very first chapter that I was not going to sympathize with him. He really just creeped me out. I couldn't get into it.
