Great list, Chelsey! I loved "Bird Box," "Room," and "The Stand." "Room " is such a haunting book.

I've also been really wanting to read "Project Hail Mary," so this list was a good push! Thanks for writing this. :-)

Project Hail Mary is my favorite Andy Weir book! I hope you enjoy it.

Project Hail Mary is fantastic on audio

Somewhat surprisingly I didn’t listen to the audiobook - I might have to reread this one. I can only imagine what it would be like!

I enjoyed your list. So hard to pick a favorite, but I think I would choose Coming Home by Rosamunde Pilcher. I am a huge fan of her books. I was very sad when she wrote her last book Winter Solstice - also one of my very favorites and a great Christmas read.

I’ve heard of her, but I’ve never read any of her books. Adding it to my list!

What a great variety here, Chelsey! I bet coming up with this list was fun, too. I've loved several on your list and can totally relate to your 'not your typical beach read' comment - I can often be found sitting outside in the summer, highlighter in hand, completely engrossed in an in-depth nonfiction read! :-) Thanks for sharing your list!

I’ve only read a few on this list and have a number of them on my TBR and I’m excited to add some more!

I think The Passage, Project Hail Mary, and Homegoing would all be on my list, too.
