June 16th: Have you ever been surprised by a book that you didn’t expect to enjoy?
I guess, kind of… I don’t pick up books to read if I don’t expect to like them. That said, I have read books that don’t fall into my typical genres or are outside of my comfort zone. Some of those reads end up being among my favorite books. The best example of that is The Briar Club by Kate Quinn. I listened to the audiobook, review HERE, and found myself utterly engrossed. I recommend it to everyone when we discuss books. I still often think about the book, over a year after finishing it. The impact of the book, one I probably wouldn’t have picked up if not for a book swap and a reading challenge prompt, is definitely surprising.
