Most Addictive Books You Must Need To Read
A good book can take you anywhere. A great book can make you want to go back there again and again. I read book almost every days and the kinds of books that crawl into my head and stay with me for days afterward. The characters and the story are as real as my life, and
I race home to sit in my reading corner and finish just one more chapter.
If you’re looking for the kind of book you wouldn’t dream of putting down, I’ve got a few suggestions for you. These are the most addictive books according to the internet.
1. Quicksand by Malin Persson Gioloto

This is crime fiction at its best. It’s a courtroom thriller based around a school shooting in Stockholm. Maja Norberg is the suspect. She killed her boyfriend and her best friend. But how did she fall so far from grace? It’s an unsettling read that will have you racing to the finish line to find out what really happened, and the motives you uncover along the way. Buy it here.
2. Beartown by Fredrik Backman
What’s it about?
Simply put, it’s about a small town that hopes a hockey game will put them on the map again, a terrible incident that splits the residents and the bravery it takes to go against a community. But it’s so much more than that. Written by one of the world’s best novelists and translated from Swedish, what makes you thumb through the pages as fast as possible is the characters and the feeling that you just have to make sure justice is done.

When someone pushes a book like this into your hands and tells you to read it, you know it’s going to be good. Please, whatever you do, make sure you read this one. Saeed and Nadia meet and it’s your typical boy meets girl. However, their land becomes unlivable, their country is torn by war. So they decide to leave.
