World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War by Max Brooks

Genre: Zombie Apocalyptic Horror Fiction

What a read. Seriously. Even if you’re not into zombies (I mean, who is, really?) this book truly turns a genre that a lot of people find outdated, boring and overdone into a proper good story.

The Final Empire: Mistborn Book 1 by Brandon Sanderson

Genre: Fantasy fiction

Thank you, thank you, thank you Brandon Sanderson! After years of trying to overcome a reading slump, you have brought my literature loving soul back to life.

The last book to have me so utterly engrossed in its pages was The Name of the Wind by the wonderfully talented Patrick Rothfuss. That was at least 3 or 4 years ago now. I was beginning to wonder whether another book would ever have the same effect on me.
