The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown
This bestselling book by Dan Brown once again follows the symbologist, Professor Robert Langdon.

As Langdon follows the wishes of this madman, he uncovers the innermost secrets of Masonic legends and unravelling a part of U.S history, the likes of which no one has seen before.
This exceptional novel is definitely worth the read. You’ll find yourself getting caught up in Noetic sciences, thrilling chases and twists you would never have even contemplated as possible. If you start to read this, you won’t be able to stop!

Deception Point by Dan Brown
This book was by one of my favourite authors, and is also one of my favourite books. Dan Brown (not to be confused with popular YouTuber Dan Brown a.k.a. pogobat) uses his high I.Q. and blends it into a fast paced mystery novel which compelled me to the very last paragraph. It follows Rachel Sexton, a beautiful worker at a government information facility. She is called by the President of the United States himself to visit a glacier in the north, to see over the discovery of something remarkable that could change the face of science and intergalactic studies as the world would know it. But government conspiracy and turns people against each other, and the story takes several exciting twists and turns. This book was amazing, and anyone who is a fan of Dan Brown and enjoys a bit of science, will certainly enjoy this.

Misery by Stephen King
This book was a read that really compelled me. I couldn’t put it down!! It’s about a famous author, Paul Sheldon, who wrote a bestselling series of books called Misery. Sheldon drives from a hotel during the winter, slightly intoxicated on icy roads, and crashes near a house. A woman named Annie Wilkes saves him and takes him to her house. As it turns out, Annie is Paul’s number one fan and she has no intention of letting him leave. Her obsessive behavior escalates throughout the book, with some disturbing twists and turns. If you want to read this book, rest assured you won’t sleep soundly after you finish. But I found it to be one of my favorite books in the end. Make sure you’re not easily scared when you want to borrow this book.
