“The Road” by Cormac McCarthy held me captive, staying up all night immersed in its pages, awakening the next morning with a lingering sense of melancholy. Stephen King’s works, especially “The Shining,” share that unique ability to make you eagerly anticipate the next page, constantly wondering what twist awaits.

    And Then There Were None by Agatha Christie.

    Apart from not being able to put it down, I had to turn on all the lights in my room because the murder parts were so intense.

      My mom has a nice set of the complete works for Agatha Christie. I love them. When I visit my parents I’ll usually read one each night because they are so fun and engaging and I can’t put them down.

      I’ve never read this book and probably shouldn’t because I’m all creeped out just reading this. I’m the only one awake in my house right now, also the only adult 😂 so I’d be the one responsible for fending off any murderers in the night
