The other day, I asked for book recommendations on my InstaStories. I don’t get much quiet time for books, most of it is spent catching up on laundry or cleaning, so when I get some time to settle in with a book, I want to make sure it’s a good one!! I was blown away by all the responses from you guys, so I thought I would share some of the most suggested ones with you here!
- The Girl on the Train– easily the most recommended. I’ve seen the movie, though, so I think it spoils the book for me!
- Gone Girl – a close runner-up!
- The Wife Between Us – third place, but finally one I haven’t ruined with the movie!
- Room – I have to admit, I was too nervous about the topic to see the movie, but a lot of you really loved the book! A very intense read, based on the reviews!
- The Woman in Cabin 10 – might be next on my list, a lot of recommendations for this one!
- The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo – only one person recommended this, but after looking at the reviews, it’s what I ended up with!
- The Couple Next Door – again, only one recommendation, but the reviews put this thriller on my list for sure!
- Beartown – I hadn’t heard of this, but the reviews on Amazon (and from you!) were amazing!
- Confessions of a Domestic Failure – probably the least dark book out of all of them. Looks like a short, funny read!
- The Crowning Glory of Call Lily Ponder – this was recommended by a small handful of people as a great beach read.
So tell me, have you read any on the list? Am I missing a life-changing book? Let me know in the comments below!

I’ve read about half on this list, such a great list. The Woman in cabin 10 is my favorite from this list! Room was an interesting read, book was mucb better than the movie. Definitely add, It Ends with Us by Colleen Hoover to your list. That was probably one of my favorite books I’ve ever read. Also anything by Liane Moriarty. My faves by her were What Alice Forgot and Big little lies. In a Dark Dark Wood by Ruth Ware is another good read. Download the app Good reads. You can get book recs and keep a list of books you want to read!!
