I had a hard time narrowing it down to just two! My go-to books are always chick flicks, but as I was thinking back to the books I really really could-not-put-it-down-and-continued-to-think-about-it-after-I-finished books, these two definitely filled that category!
This book, along with all of Dan Brown's other books, had me absolutely intrigued. I loved the mystery with the twinge of conspiracy and of course a little bit of a love story.
I had never seen the movie (yea, the one with Leo DiCaprio) until after I had finished the book. I'm really glad. If I had seen the movie I probably would have never even considering reading the book because the movie just sucked in comparison! Travel, suspense, a great beach... I loved it. LOVED it!
And a close runner-up taking third place:
I am Not Myself These Days by Josh Kilmer-Purcell
An autobiography, written by a man who was a drag queen, one of the few books that has actually made me laugh out loud while reading it. I picked this out because of the cover, true story, but it is a FANTASTIC book. He tells so many funny stories, you can't help but feel for him!
I've done a few other posts about my favorite books too, you can check them out here if you'd like!
