3. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms (A Song of Ice and Fire) By George R.R.Martin
We all love Game of Thrones (well sometimes we don’t!) and the work of George R.R.Martin. This book is, however, a different take on the series as it is more of a prequel.

2. Go Set a Watchman by Harper Lee
The author of “To Kill a Mockingbird” released another splendid book in 2015 or rather revealed it to the world. Amazon said it was their most pre-ordered book since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows in 2007. Though it was marketed as a sequel to To Kill a MockingBird it is actually the novel’s first draft. Though it broke sales records, it received a mixed reception from critics but still makes for a compelling read for the fans of the author’s first novel.
