#AMonthofFaves: 5 Popular Books Worth the Hype
Here are 5 books I read this year that got a lot of hype, well justified according to me.
I have tried to include different genres, including nonfiction and even a book written in another language.
Sadly, I have not yet reviewed the 2 audiobooks (I am so so late in my audiobook reviews!) included here:
Gone Girl and H is For Hawk.
But I have reviewed:
The Martian
The Lake House
La septième fonction du langage
HAVE YOU READ THESE 5 BOOKS?
WHICH ONE IS YOUR FAVORITE?
Words And Peace 
Oh, my gosh…I totally broke my rule and saw The Martian, the movie, before reading the book; I kind of forgot about the book until the movie was released! I loved the film SO MUCH that I would still really like to read the book; such a fantastic story! I’ve heard so many good things about The Lake House; this is a great list!
LikeLike
thanks. Yes, The Martian is awesome, but I still have to watch the movie!!
As for Kate Morton, I think all her books are fabulous

I read The Martian three times last year! I can’t wait for his next book! Station Eleven was good, but not great – although it did get me thinking. Great list!!
LikeLike
wow, 3 times! I have hard time rereading the same book, as I have so many waiting for me. I have to say I DNFed Station Eleven. I tried the audio, maybe text would have worked better. I thought the flashbacks slowed too much the narration

I have not read any of these, but H is for Hawk is pretty close to the top of my audio wish list and Kate Morton is always a good read!
LikeLike
The author herself reads H is For Hawk, and it works – I know it does not work with all authors

The Martian! I did so love that book. The first 40 pages or so were hit or miss because of all the science talk, but once NASA’s “voice” kicked in, I was hooked.

I’m not too much into science, but I thought this was well done to set the scene, and it sounded so plausible

The only one I have read is THE LAKE HOUSE. LOVED it.
Thanks for sharing.

Gone Girl was brilliant, in fact anything by Gillian Flynn is worth it.

Ah, good to know, I was hesitating reading her other books
