Damn, i didnt see an email for this until just now! For people interested I recently read the Metro series which they made a game out of. The books are pretty good, even for those not particularly interested in the game. They are translated to English from Russian so it can be a bit rough in some parts. But overall a great read. Id say my favourite was the second one. Metro 2034.

 

I also just finished Food of the Gods by Terrence McKenna. If you know the name you might have an idea about the book haha. But its basically his hypothesis for the stoned ape theory which is really interesting if only for the parts about the historical use of plants and heaps of little botanical tid bits which i love:)

I couldn't resist answer this question before I have to log off 🙂

I can't pick just one book but some recent favourites include: Faceless, The Hate U Give, The Wedding Dress, Save The Date, The Love Letter, RIP Eliza Hart  just to name a few.

I can never narrow it down to just one author so in no particular order: Rachel Hauck, Dee Henderson, Jenni B Jones, Sarah Dessen, Gayle Foreman, Ally Carter, Katie Genshert, Denise Hunter, I am sure there are lots more but I can't think of them at the moment 🙂
