My favorite books (Other than comics)

Today I wanted to tell you about two of my favorite book series that I really enjoyed. I feel like I always tell you so much about the comics I read, so I wanted to talk about real books that my readers might actually enjoy lol!

No, this won’t include my current book from the series The Chronicles of Atlantis: The Age of Immortals. I’ve told you all about that series multiple times lol and I want to change it up a bit. 

So first, let me tell you about two of Brad Meltzer’s books that I enjoyed. The first is called The Lincoln Conspiracy. It’s such a fascinating story and they back it up with proof as well. Here is part of the summary from Google: “Everyone knows the story of Abraham Lincoln’s assassination in 1865, but few are aware of the original conspiracy to kill him four years earlier in 1861, literally on his way to Washington, D.C., for his first inauguration. 

The conspirators were part of a white supremacist secret society that didn’t want an abolitionist in the White House. They planned an elaborate scheme to assassinate the President-elect in Baltimore as Lincoln’s inauguration train passed through, en route to the nation’s capital.” If you like history and a great story, give this book a shot. It’s so interesting I couldn’t put it down! 

Another book from Brad Meltzer, The First Conspiracy: The Secret Plot to Kill George Washington, is also awesome. The title pretty much gives away what it’s about lol. But that shouldn’t stop you from reading it if you’re interested! The author does such good work and I really appreciate these two books. If you want to check them out, they are on Amazon!

This next series is by Andrew Klavan. It’s called Another Kingdom. These three books are fascinating. It’s such a brilliant idea and he is a very good writer. Here is the summary from Amazon (I apologize for it being so long): “What was this place? Was I crazy? Or was I crazy before, back in L.A.? Was my real life some sort of dream? Was this hell reality?”

Austin Lively is a struggling, disillusioned screenwriter whose life is suddenly changed forever when he opens a door and is unwittingly transported to a fantastical medieval realm. Austin finds himself wielding a bloody dagger while standing over a very beautiful and very dead woman. Bewildered and confused, he is seized by castle guards and thrown in a dungeon. Just when he begins to fear the worst, he is suddenly transported back to reality in LA.

Did that really just happened? Has he gone insane? Was it all a dream? Did he have a brain tumor? Desperate for answers, he sets out to find them and discovers that the mystery can only be unlocked by a strange piece of fiction that holds the truth about the magical kingdom. But he isn’t the only person searching for the missing manuscript, and his rivals will stop at nothing to get it first. To complicate matters more, Austin soon discovers that he has no control over when he passes between worlds and finds himself out of trust for even the simple things, like walking through doorways.

Stuck between dual realities –charged for a murder he doesn’t recall in one and running from a maniacal billionaire who’s determined to kill him in another– Austin’s monotonous life has become an epic adventure of magic, murder, and political intrigue in both the New Republic of Galiana and the streets of Los Angeles California.” As you can see from that summary, it’s a very good series. What they told us here is only the beginning!

I loved both series I mentioned above. Maybe one day I will read them again. Have any of you read these books? If so, what did you think? Let me know in the comments!
