Books to read, for running and non-running

[Mr_Incr3dible]

Pulling this over from the MW 2026 thread.
I'm always on the lookout for new reading material, especially series of books, and figured others might be as well, so starting this as a thread to make it easier to find and make book suggestions.

>>Not a running topic but still relative as it is for race week…any book lovers out there? I’m doing my trip shopping and trying to decide on a good book to bring. Something to distract me but nothing that takes too much digesting and thought, as I fear I won’t have much focus! Any good recommendations?!

I think you need to give an idea of genres at least.... I mostly read SF and fantasy, but that's certainly not everyone's favorite.

I also like SF and fantasy. The Mars Colony books by Kilby were good. Correia's Monster Hunters Int'l series was entertaining. Sandford's Virgil Flowers novels are fun mystery/detective books. Evanovich's Stephanie Plum books are a hoot. And I really enjoyed Daisy Goodwin's book about Queen Victoria.
