For me this ended up being non-fiction. I'm terrible at starting self-help type books and never getting all the way through them! I think I have several on my Nook, but the one I ended up picking up and finishing was The Power of Habit: Why We Do What We Do in Life and Business. It's actually an excellent book if you have habits you want to change or need to start.
This would be Darkest Minds by Alexandra Bracken. I was half way through then stopped I don't know why.
This was a difficult one for me because I am one of those people who have to finish a book once I start it. A few years back I came across a list of the 1001 books you must read before you die, and I have been slowly trying to check books off that list. A year ago I started Naked Lunch by William S. Burroughs. I really struggled with it so I set it aside. Well, I picked it up to meet this task and managed to finish it - but with great difficulty. This was easily the worst book I have ever read - it was crude, disgusting and I just didn't "get it". Task done - Zero stars for this book.
