My (very limited) free time these days is spent reading. I tend to gravitate towards the thriller genre, but I’ve been trying to break that habit and branch out into other genres. I just find thrillers to be so much fun, quick, and easy reads, and with toddler at home I need these kinds of reads! However I do have to mention I just read an amazing science fiction book called Dark Matter by Blake Crouch that I think everyone should try right now.

| Harlan Coben |
My all-time favorite author is a man named Harlan Coben. His books can be categorized as suspense/thriller and they are always so much fun to read. I’ve read every adult book he has written (he also has a young adult series that I haven’t read... yet) and he currently has two shows on Netflix that he produced, and I binge watched almost immediately. I am just completely obsessed with him and all of his works.
I attend a monthly book club with a large group of women who have completely different interests, where I am introduced to books I normally wouldn’t pick out myself. Some of these books I have to force down, which is very different from how I normally read. If a book outside of Book Club doesn’t catch my interest within the first few chapters, I put it down and don’t pick it back up. There are way too many good books in the world to waste time on ones that don’t capture your interest - or at least that is how I feel about it.
The book genres I’ve chosen for this class are:
Week 3 - Thrillers
Week 6 - Horror (also love that Horror and Romance are grouped together this week - but I digress)
Week 8 - Womens Live’s & Relationships
Week 12 - Non-Fiction
Week 13 - Young Adult
