what book or books have you read that were so good that you didn’t want to put it down?
Looking for new books to read as I am preparing to head out on a much needed vacation and want to dig into some good reading. Can be fiction or nonfiction, just so long as it hooked you and made you want to keep reading and reading until the end.

I read almost exclusively fantasy and sci fi. Here's a few favourites.
Sci fi: Red Rising Trilogy Bobiverse The Martian and Project Hail Mary
Fantasy: The First Law Trilogy (my absolute favourite of everything I've read) Brandon Sanderson (literally any of his stuff. If you're looking for a trilogy, start with Mistborn and if a stand alone, Warbreaker). Don't be overwhelmed by his Cosmere world, if you only read mistborn era 1 it wraps up in a nice bow. Robin Hobbs first trilogy is a nice introduction to her series. If you don't love it it wraps up nicely after the first trilogy.
Dystopian: Unwound by Neal Schusterman Arc of the Scythe by Neal Schusterman
I've read the entire Robin Hobbs Elderlings series, all of Sanderson's cosmere books, and Abercrombie's First Law series.
If I had to pick and start all over again, I'd go with the Elderlings series. It's complete and it's amazing. Cosmere would be next. The first law series wasn't as enjoyable for me.
You have EXACTLY the same taste as me. I definitely need to read First Law.
Nice!
I haven't read Joe Abercrombie's stand alone novels that follow after The First Law but apparently they're even better. My favourite stuff used to be Sanderson until I read this.
My lemmy name is also my favourite character from that trilogy as well
