Marc's Book Club - The Big List

Since 2008 I have run a small book club for a group of friends. We meet every second month over dinner and a glass of wine. It's a great way to stimulate an interesting conversation with a group of friends, and also some discipline to keep us reading regularly. I often say to people that for the price of a few books and a few hours reading time, we've learned so much it almost feels like cheating! For anyone interested in doing more reading and wanting to know where to start, I have marked the books that I recommend that everyone read..

My Top 50 Recommended Thriller Books - by Caroline Johnson

Hey there everyone! I'm thrilled to share my list of must-read thrillers with you. To make it even easier for you to find your next great read, I've divided the list into seven sections. In "Hyped Author Faves," I'll be discussing some of the most popular thriller authors and my personal favorite book from each of them. For the "Underrated Faves" section, I've handpicked some hidden gems that have received less than 20,000 ratings on Goodreads. Plus, I've got plenty of recommendations for "Fast Paced Thrillers," "Slow Burns," "Psychological Thrillers," "Mystery Thrillers," and "Just Really Good" books that I couldn't fit into the other categories.

I hope you enjoy this list as much as I enjoyed putting it together!
