Fiction From the Shelves of a Non-Fiction Fiend

A list by Shellby, Customer Service Specialist

I have a hard time finding fiction stories that grab my attention. These books are some of the already small selection of fiction that I read and really enjoyed.

Books

A dark book whose protagonist has placed so much hope into a change that never comes. I personally believe this would be a great novel for book clubs.

I really, truly, earnestly wish more books were like this one.

Sofia Coppola obsessed teenage girls unite!

No other thriller book has done for me what Gone Girl has done.

Catcher in The Rye for people who hate hearing the word phony over and over again. (I love Salinger though!)

It's easy to get lost in "Valley of the Dolls." I got into more trouble reading this book than any other book I've read simply because I couldn't put it down.

A professor once told me I wrote like Hunter S. Thompson, and I think I have this book to thank for that.

My senior English class read this, and I don't think I've seen a class collectively like a book more than this one.

Science fiction normally is not my favorite genre to read; however, reading "Jurassic Park" in the tenth grade has made me a life-long Michael Crichton fan. Known for revisiting themes in his works, Crichton based the idea of "Jurassic Park" on his 1973 film "Westworld." Fans of the the film or new HBO series should definitely check out this book!

The Ki-Be High School symphonic band flute section one-off book club got in a lot of trouble for non-stop talking about this book, but it was worth it.

I came across this book as an adult because the audiobook is narrated by an actor I like. To say that I was moved would be an understatement. I had never read a book by Beverly Cleary before and this certainly won't be the last one either.

Melancholic and deeply moving. I can't wait for future novels from Pik-Shuen Fung.

I couldn't put this book down. At first I was skeptical of where the plot was going but once the midnight library appears that skepticism went away fully.

My first dip into the vast ocean that is the category of "beach reads" and a good one, if I must say. Not too complicated and full of heart. Just a great story to enjoy.

Historical fiction of this nature is so entertaining even if it's not very accurate...

I think about this novel at least once a week - fantastic storytelling and an immersive world.

Some of Grady Hendrix's best character work yet. More of a thriller than a horror novel but fantastic nontheless.

I would put every TJR novel on this list but that might be overkill; however, I'll put her favorite of mine on here instead. This book made me care about tennis and wish its characters were real people. I could read a million books set in the TJR literary universe.

Being in on the ground floor for The Hunger Games is unlike any other experience I've had in my entire life. There was nothing quite like the feeling of being sucked into a book that you itch for its sequel. A series that anyone and everyone could love and get into reading.
