A 5 Star Read and a Random Recommendation

My version of this trendy challenge. As many have noted, some recommendations made perfect sense (I basically typed in "The Handmaid's Tale" and waited for "1984" to come up) and some were completely out of left field. "Life After Life" leading to "Zombie Baseball Beatdown" is my personal favourite.
