Hey guys! I'm looking for new books and i just love books with a unique format. Can be plot, writing style or even cover. My most unique reads were battle royale and horrostor. What are yours? Edit: just remember invisible monsters by Chuck Palanhiuk! Another unique book.

I read Station Eleven as a blind date book from the library. I really liked it a lot more than I expected to.

Edit: literally just found the book date description 30 minutes later. This is all I knew going into the book:

Genre: Post apocalyptic sci-fi

Description: A Hollywood Star, his would-be savior, and a nomadic group of actors

    Yeah, I agree it’s not really scifi, that was just the libraries description.

    Spoiler on plot (minor)Maybe it was the whole thing about everyone dying of a mysterious illness that made them put scifi.

    But it was a really good book
