Interested?
So I have a (maybe) great idea.
Yesterday, on my post about YA books, RA commented saying:
You know I am all about YA fiction, and that question to Sherman Alexie is horribly ignorant. But… sometimes I wish I could share my adult fiction (although I call it modern fiction so as to take away the squick feel) with you and see what you think! Would you be game?
I said, yes, I would be game. I told her to give me one title and I would read it by the end of the month and tell her what I thought. Her pick was Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro.
Cool, right? I think so.
So here’s what I’m suggesting. Every month, I’ll ask you to offer up one book title that I absolutely must read (old, new, adult, YA, romance, mystery, sci-fi, you name it) and I’ll draw one at random. Then I’ll read it that month and review it.
Is that completely lame or would you participate?
Sounds like a great idea! Not because I will have anything to suggest to you (I think I only read things these days that you have recommended), but because I will probably reap the benefits. 😉
What a fun idea! I love the "I'll read adult if you'll read YA" deal with RA too. 🙂
I would participate!
Hope you like Never Let Me Go. It is one of my favorites! (It is set in a boarding school, sorta, after all! 🙂 )
I think it's a great idea! It's always interesting to see what books people love.
This sounds like fun. I'm interested in seeing what people come up with!
Oh that sounds like a lot of fun! I can see a lot of bloggity interaction in the following months..
Great idea, Janssen. I'd love to see your thoughts on some "adult" novels.
