STAGS by M A Bennet is an amazing YA thriller that explores class struggle, peer pressure and the power and draw of unchecked privilege, set in a backdrop of a British private school.
“The Duke Who Didn’t” by Courtney Milan—a book I loved so much I bought the ebook, audiobook, AND an autographed copy in the Romancing the Runoff auctions!!
Murderbot. All the Murderbot.
Emerald Blaze by Ilona Andrews
I recommend books all the time but my favourite read of the year and thus my most recommended was A Mind Spread Out on the Ground by Alicia Elliot. It should be a book everyone reads. I loved it!
Probably Take a Hint, Dani Brown!
I most often recommended Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo.
Polaris Rising by Jessie Mihalik is the first book in a a freaking amazing space opera trilogy that features standalone romances in each book. I adore her hilarious dialogue, fascinating political intrigue, and excellent adventure/heist plots.
Other than Murderbot?
Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Headliners by Lucy Parker
I too am going with my same answer as yesterday…The Consortium Rebellion series by Jessie Mihalik. Not only was it a really fun read but it never failed to get me out of my current head space which we all know we needed this year!
I loved Her Last Flight by Beatriz Williams.
Just Mercy by Bryan Stevenson. Not new, obviously not a romance, but when I read it this summer – wow.
Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrews
I would say the Rockliffe series by Stella Riley, but I used that choice yesterday. So another book I’ve recommended to a few people is The Guest List by Lucy Foley.
I recommended Gideon the Ninth, and All Systems Red. Also, Leave the World Behind, but just for some people, and Piranesi, which I loved, but didn’t recommend because it is strange and I can’t deal with the criticism. I loved all of them. Wait – also the City We Became.
The very best book I read this year is The City We Became by N. K. Jemisin
Hikaru Nakamura’s SAINT YOUNG MEN series and Lindy West’s SHIT, ACTUALLY
Lethal Remedies by M. Louisa Locke – I’ve been recommending this one to everyone who likes historical mysteries.
We Ride Upon Sticks by Quan Barry.
For romance, I think it was “The Duke Who Didn’t” by the incomparable Courtney Milan. It got me through the hell of election week and rekindled my love of historicals.
For non-fiction, definitely Barack Obama’s memoir “A Promised Land”.
The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune
The Socialite by J’nell Cielsielski!
Recipe for Persuasion by Sonali Dev
Same answer as yesterday, Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall!
Drunk on a Plane by Carrie Jacobs
Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall.
Mmmm, so many suggestions here that I’ve put on my reading list.
My suggestion is Mimi Matthews series ‘The Parish Orphans’. In my opinion the first one – The Matrimonial Advertisement – is the best.
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell
Sorry, I can’t name just one, but instead of dropping a boatload of book titles on everyone, I’ll limit myself to just five.
Loretta Chase’s Ten Things I Hate About the Duke
Courtney Milan’s The Duke Who Didn’t
Sarah MacLean et al Naughty Brits Anthology
Talia Hibbert Take a Hint, Dani Brown
Olivia Dade Spoiler Alert
Probably Lucy Parker’s Act Like It has been my most frequently recommended book of the year: always a great read!
C. S. Harris’ St. Cyr series. I recommend this series all the time and eagerly await every new book. I have already preordered for 2021.
The entire Veronica Speedwell series!
Madame De Pompadour by Nancy Mitford
I don’t know that I actually recommended a book this year. But The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory would have been one had I actually seen a friend or two in person this year who ask for recommendations.
Boyfriend Material
Withering Hope, by Layla Hagen is my favorite book that I’ve read this year!
Maybe You Should Talk to Someone by Lori Gottlieb
I told everybody about Hearts on Hold by Charish Reid based on the SBTB review, then added it to my TBR (and haven’t read it yet) and then all the people I recced it to READ IT and told me it was AMAZING. This is a real instance of “do as I say, not as I do!”
I’ve recommended Shelly Laurenston.
