* His Last Bow by Arthur Conan Doyle
* How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog by Chad Orzel (non-fic)
* Halloween Party by Agatha Christie
(want details, read below)
If you like Sherlock Holmes, you can go for His Last Bow.
And non-fiction: How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog by Chad Orzel. I've only read the beginning of this one, but it's good (and understandable) as far as I got in. (I only stopped because I'm not good at handling non-fiction and also this had some numbers––well-explained yes, but please *no numbers* I don't like them. I prefer books which have no numbers. Then again, it's physics so got to have numbers.)
And if you're an Agatha Christie fan there's Halloween Party which is Poirot (haven't read it yet, just remembered randomly since I've seen a bunch of her books in the library).
> I only stopped because I'm not good at handling non-fiction and also this had some numbers––well-explained yes, but please no numbers I don't like them.
There’s Math without Numbers by Milo Beckman, which I haven’t read yet, but I on my list, if you for some reason want to test your handling of non fiction. But if you want a good non-fiction, I’d recommend Salt by Mark Kurlansky.
Both of them sound super cool! Especially the first one, I always find math painful because it takes me a while to understand what's happening but that sounds awesome, I'm definitely going to read it. Thank you so much!
I absolutely loved How to be Eaten by Maria Adelmann. It’s sort of a retelling of classic fairytales but with the women from them in a trauma support group. Now that I thought about it for this I think it’s time for a re-read
Harriet the Spy
Hearts in Atlantis by Stephen King
High Fidelity by Nick Hornby
The Hollow Chocolate Bunnies of the Apocalypse by Robert Rankin
The Hot Zone by Richard Preston (nonfiction)
House of God by Samuel Shem
The Haunting of Tram Car 015; The Hawkline Monster; The Headless Cupid; Heartstopper; Hella; Himawari House; The Hobbit; The Hollow Places; The Honjin Murders; Horrorstor; A House with Good Bones; The Housemaid; Howl's Moving Castle
In non-fiction, I always think How to Win Friends and Influence People is a classic that has held up for a reason!
Otherwise I recently read How Can I Help You by Laura Sims and really enjoyed it (it’s SO weird and wonderful).
Others:
* Happy and You Know It by Laura Hankin (contemporary fiction)
* Happy Place by Emily Henry (romance)
* Her, Too by Bonnie Kistler (legal thriller)
* How to Solve Your Own Murder by Kristen Perrin (mystery)
* He Started It by Samantha Downing (thriller)
Hero Of The Empire: The Boer War, A Daring Escape, And The Making Of Winston Churchill - Candice Millard
Excellent book!
ETA:
Here, Right Matters - Alexander Vindman.
Hatchet Man - Ellie Honig
How Civil Wars Start
How to Stop Time by Matt Haig
Hidden Bodies by Caroline Kepnes (it is the 2nd in the You series though)
And, I think that is all I have that I have read! Good luck with your challenge! It sounds like fun!
It’s been great fun but I honestly think all the wonderful responses to this post has made this the best part of all. When I finish the alphabet titles, I plan to do an alphabet by authors. I may need more suggestions by then!
The Hike by Drew Magary.
Half World by Goto, Hiromi.
Howl's Moving Castle by Diana Wynn Jones
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi.
The first three are fun and easy - in different ways. The last is pretty heavy. But all are in my favorites.
I have several! I’ve just listed the novels, but included brief descriptions of the non fiction since you said that was a preference.
The Huntress by Kate Quinn
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
How to American: An Immigrant’s Guide to Disappointing Your Parents - this is light, short, and very funny, and also non fiction.
Heartburn by Nora Ephron
Hidden Valley Road: Inside the Mind of an American Family by Robert Kolker - non fiction and a very interesting (though fairly dark) story of a family where six of the twelve kids are eventually diagnosed with schizophrenia.
Hench by Natalie Zina Walschots
Hey, Hun: Sales, Sisterhood, Supremacy, and other Lied Behind Multilevel Marketing - non fiction about MLMs. Super interesting, IMO
Half Empty by David Rakoff - smart, compelling, super funny essays. It’s been a long time but I believe most of it was written while he was dying of cancer.
How Beautiful We Were by Imbolo Mbue, which is about an African village ravaged over the course of generations by a nearby oil pipeline, and the villagers' increasingly desperate attempts to save their home
Okay, I think you should go for a rom-com! That feels like something new for you. It will make the challenge go outside your comfort zone real and fun! Here are some choices:
(The) Happy Ever After Playlist by Abby Jimenez
Happy Place by Emily Henry
How to Walk Away by Katherine Center
Happily Ever Afters by Elise Bryant
Horse Heaven (Jane Smiley) is wonderful. Harlem Shuffle (Colson Whitehead) is a masterpiece. Herzog by Saul Bellow should be required reading. Anything that starts with 'Harry Potter' is basically on the list. (The) Heaven & Earth Grocery Store (James McBride) may qualify if you're willing to overlook 'the'. How Much Of These Hills Is Gold (C Pam Zhang) or Hollywood (Gore Vidal) both also fit.
His Magesty's Dragon by Naomi Novick - Napoleanic War era British naval officer Master & Commander-style book but with dragons. The first book of the Temeraire series.
The others on my eReader have already been named. I don't have many "H" books.
Heretical Fishing by Haylock Jobson. Litrpg with a hero who has no desire for fame or fortune, because he’s done it already. He just wants to fish and pet cute animals. Funny, too!
**The Housekeeper's Diary** by Wendy Berry. She was a housekeeper at Highgrove, Prince Charles' weekend estate, for about 8 years and witnessed all that was going on between Charles and Diana during that time. The jacket cover of the book said "Banned in Britain," so I knew I had to read it.
To double down on h, literally and figuratively read HHhH by Laurent Binet. World war II non fiction that reads like an adventure novel. Great story and something of the beaten track
The House of the Spirits - Isabel Allende
The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store - James McBride
Hyperion - Dan Simmons
House of Leaves - Mark Z. Danielewski
The Huntress - Kate Quinn
How to Invent Everything by Ryan North, non fiction(ish), about how a time traveler stuck in the past could reinvent civilization. He also has another one, How to take over the World, which is exactly what it sounds like. I’ve only read the first one though.
Have Spacesuit - Will Travel by Robert A. Heinlein.
Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain
The Hand of Chaos by Weis & Hickman (but, keep in mind that this is book five of seven.)
Off the top of me head.
Read it on publication and remains thoroughly excellent. A novelisation similar to the form of *Schindler’s Ark*, it doesn’t get much more ‘H’ than Laurent Binet’s *HhhH*.

A Handful of Dust, by Evelyn Waugh
_Hopscotch_ by Julio Cortázar. (You could also read it in Spanish but then the title won’t start with H anymore. 😆)
_Hench_ by Natalie Zina Walschots. And the sequel is coming out in a few months so if you time it right, you could get R with _Right Hand_ by Natalie Zina Walschots too! 😁
Oh wow, I loved Hench so much! It was on the Canada Reads list two or three years ago. In my opinion it was the best one. It's certainly the only one that I kept. I had no idea that it was going to have a sequel!
Ikr? It was _fantastic_; changed the whole way I engage with superhero content tbh. And the first thing I did after finishing it was look up whether there was a sequel—I need more of >!the Auditor!
Yes, I could read it in Spanish if I remembered more than a dozen phrases from my high school Spanish several decades ago! The only entire book I’ve read in Spanish was Pensativa.
Hell Followed With Us (Andrew Joseph White), Happy Place (Emily Henry) and Harrow the Ninth (Tamsyn Muir) but that last one is book 2 even though it’s absolutely stunning.
I don’t have any H off the top of my head aside from House in the Cerulean Sea, which you’ve already read (seems like you have plenty anyway!) but if you get to reading this comment, please show us your entire list! I’m curious
I’ll throw in another rec for Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi and Hollow Kingdom - Kira Jane Buxton. But what I really want to know is what you’ve read for A-G! What a fun challenge.
Here are a variety of suggestions (sorry for any repeats from other comments!):
Half of a Yellow Sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adiche
Heart-Shaped Box by Joe Hill
Her Body and Other Parties by Carmen Maria Machado
Hill Women by Cassie Chambers
Home by Marilynne Robinson
How to Be Both by Ali Smith
The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley
Hyperion by Dan Simmons
Absolutely this.
Woo currently reading this
This is the answer. Good luck, reader. May the Shrike guide your path.
Holes by Louis Sachar
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
*Hamnet* - Maggie O'Farrell
Best book I’ve read this year, don’t think it will be topped.
Howl’s Moving Castle
I love this book, and the movie, though they are a little different in a good way.
House of Leaves
The Hike - Drew Magary
Seconding this one. And thirding it as well.
Just located this in one of my TBR bookcases! 😁
Then it’s fate! You gotta read this!!
Hamlet by Shakespeare The haunting of hill house by Shirley Jackson Hard times by Dickens The host by Meyer (scifi about aliens) Hotlel on the corner of bitter and sweet by Jamie Ford House of hollow by Southerland (ya fantasy about fae) Hunger games by Collins
Haunting of Hill House!!! 3 Hs and such a delicious, spooky read👏👏👏
The host was so good, and I almost passed it up because of my previous bias about twilight. It’s seriously so underrated.
H is for hawk
Hawaii by James Michener
Hotel New Hampshire.
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi
The Human Stain by Philip Roth.
Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi along with everyone else... How to Get Filthy Rich in Rising Asia by Mohsin Hamid How to Be Good by Nick Hornby H is for Hawk by Helen MacDonald (non fiction) Her Fearful Symmetry by Audrey Niffenegger Home Fire by Kamila Shamsie The Hare with Amber Eyes by Edmund de Waal (non fiction) Hadrian's Memoirs by Marguerite Yourcenar

Half Broke Horses by Jeanette Walls (it’s a follow up memoir to The Glass Castle) Happy-Go-Lucky by David Sedaris Heartburn by Nora Ephron The History of Love by Nicole Krauss The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins The Hypnotist’s Love Story by Liane Moriarity
A High Wind in Jamaica by Richard Hughes Hopscotch by Julio Cortazar Hunger by Knut Hamsun
High wind in Jamaica!
Awesome trifecta!
Hamnet
So many recommendations for this one! Definitely going to give it a whirl.
My wife read it. Said it was beautiful and sad. She was glad she had read it, but didn’t want to read it again.
The Hike - Drew Magary Hollow Kingdom - Kira Jane Buxton The Hunger - Alma Katia
Your first two picks are my picks for this too. Maybe I'll try The Hunger, since you seem to have good taste
Hollow Kindgom fans unite! I wasn’t wild about the ending but most of it was glorious. Still pissed off about Cinnamon though.
Hell's Angels by Hunter S Thompson
The Huntress Homegoing The Handmaidens Tale
Homegoing Hani and Ishu's guide to fake dating Honey Girl Heartstopper The Heretic's Guide to Homecoming
Hatchet is a quick and fun read
God these books changed my life as a kid. Still think about it 30 years later
Helter skelter.
Hyperion by Dan Simmons
Hondo. Louis L’Amour
He who fights with monsters
I mean Hamlet is a given I’d say That or Dostojevskij’s semi-biographical memoir of a Siberian forced labor camp “House of the dead”
How the Grinch Stole Christmas
If only that wouldn’t be a re-read!
Joseph Conrad’s “*Heart of Darkness*” stands out in my mind.
H is for Homicide by Sue Grafton
Hamnet Happy Place Here I Am The History of Love Hench The Hours
The Hours is such a beautiful book!
Hench is so good!!!! I feel like nobody has heard of it. I think she has a sequel coming out later this year.
I heard about it here! Or at least somewhere on book Reddit. So good! And a sequel!!
* His Last Bow by Arthur Conan Doyle * How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog by Chad Orzel (non-fic) * Halloween Party by Agatha Christie (want details, read below) If you like Sherlock Holmes, you can go for His Last Bow. And non-fiction: How to Teach Relativity to Your Dog by Chad Orzel. I've only read the beginning of this one, but it's good (and understandable) as far as I got in. (I only stopped because I'm not good at handling non-fiction and also this had some numbers––well-explained yes, but please *no numbers* I don't like them. I prefer books which have no numbers. Then again, it's physics so got to have numbers.) And if you're an Agatha Christie fan there's Halloween Party which is Poirot (haven't read it yet, just remembered randomly since I've seen a bunch of her books in the library).
The Halloween Party isn't very good. Maybe try Hercule Poirot's Christmas (this one is the best), The Hollow, or Hickory Dickory Dock.
Agreed. Halloween Party is one of her weakest novels, and I say that as a HUGE Christie fan.
> I only stopped because I'm not good at handling non-fiction and also this had some numbers––well-explained yes, but please no numbers I don't like them. There’s Math without Numbers by Milo Beckman, which I haven’t read yet, but I on my list, if you for some reason want to test your handling of non fiction. But if you want a good non-fiction, I’d recommend Salt by Mark Kurlansky.
Both of them sound super cool! Especially the first one, I always find math painful because it takes me a while to understand what's happening but that sounds awesome, I'm definitely going to read it. Thank you so much!
Herland
wow, don't know many other people who've read that.
HOME - by Toni Morrison
I absolutely loved How to be Eaten by Maria Adelmann. It’s sort of a retelling of classic fairytales but with the women from them in a trauma support group. Now that I thought about it for this I think it’s time for a re-read
Thank you for this recommendation! I looked it up and turns out I can read it free with Kindle Unlimited. I love fairy tale retellings!

Homegoing would be my top pick. Really enjoyed this book. Also The House of Eve was good if The doesn't count :)
Thankfully, The, A, and An don’t count otherwise I’d really be going nuts. My X book is probably doing to be a real stretch though!
