Ok, did you laugh or roll your eyes at my title, Book Recommendations For Millennials? Guys, writing titles for blog posts, especially when you've written about the same topic (favorite books) before is HARD! If you are reading this right now, let's just say that you will find value in this book list; whether you are a millennial or not. Promise!
I'm a millennial, but just barely. I think, technically, you are considered a millennial if you are born between 1982-2004. That's a LONG time period. I was born in 1985 and, although I'm technically a millennial, I'm a different millennial than someone who was born in the mid 90s.
I don't know how I got on this particular rant except to say that I think these book recommendations are for all, I just needed a catchy title.

Ooo, this list had a bunch of my favorites. The hiding place is just an amazing book. I'd also recommend God's smuggler if you liked it.
I just started the queen of tearling series, I think from your recommendation! I'm listening to the audio book, my library rental ran out with about an hour left and it's not available to renew so now I'm on hold! Hate it when that happens.
I'd recommend the legend series by Marie lu if you liked divergent

I'll look into God's smuggler! I haven't read that one.

We are cut from the same fiction cloth, Ashley! I’ve read, and loved, all but two of your fiction choices! 🙂

Haha! I love to read but also love to read some easy reads too!

I loved The Kitchen House! I immediately read Glory Over Everything afterwards, which was just as good. I'm currently reading Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan and I'm really liking it so far. Some of my favorite books that I have read lately have been A Piece of the World by Christina Baker Kline (another good book by her is Orphan Train), See What I Have Done by Sarah Schmidt and The Radium Girls by Kate Moore. I've been a voracious reader all my life, so I love these posts.

I haven't read Glory Over Everything! I need to add that one to my list. Orphan Train was good. I'll look at the other one's that you recommended. Thanks!!
