The Guest List was great as an audiobook. Each chapter has a different POV character and each character has its own dedicated narrator. It made it easy to feel like you were in each character’s individual mind

I read this one a while back after the author had a big social media marketing push. After getting her ads via IG over and over, I read it (for free).
I thought it was fine. It was clearly inspired by Gone Girl, but the execution was not at the same level at all. It was a fairly quick read, but not one I’d recommend to others. I was a little turned off by the absolute zero likable characters in the story. I got the feeling the wife was trying to conceal the truth to the reader. I’m sure if I went back for a re-read there would be hints pointing to the twist, but I didn’t like it enough for a re-read so idk.

I love reading the Harry Potter books with my kids. My son and I read them together and now he rereads them constantly. My daughter and I just started POA a few days ago.
Chronicles of Narnia (especially LWW) was a great one to read together. Bailey School Kids is a fun series, too. We like to debate if the monster was real each book.
I find myself buying my almost 13yo all my old favorites growing up. Holes, The Hatchet, The Outsiders, Jurassic Park.

I only remember a few of them, but we had (completely out of order):
And many more that I can’t remember. I did not enjoy most of them at the time, but loved Night and really enjoyed Animal Farm.
In college I only took one English class and it was contemporary American plays. Off the top of my head I remember A Streetcar Named Desire, Death of a Salesman, Baby with the Bathwater, and that one with the Alec Baldwin movie where he says Always Be Closing.
