Tell Me What to Read: Round 13
Whoa, July. That’s. . .the month I’m having a baby.
Also, I have not even started Little Bee yet because, this may come as a shock, but it’s a hugely popular book and I’m still waiting for a copy to come in to my library. I have put in a request for the hardcover, the paperback, the audio, and the downloadable audio version and none of them have yet appeared. Seriously, though, I will read it as soon as it comes in. Scout’s honor.
In the meantime, tell me what to read in July. You know the drill:
1. Comment with the title of one book you think I should read (any book you want). One title only, please, lest my brain explode.
2. I’ll select one comment at random and announce it on the blog within the next week.
3. On the off-chance that I’ve already read the book you select, I’ll contact you and ask for a follow-up suggestion (make sure there is a way to contact you either by blog or email).
4. I’ll get a copy of the book and read it by the end of July.
5. I’ll write a review of it here. Even if I hate the book, I will not hate you.
I had to really think about it this month! I have to recommend The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot. It is non-fiction that reads like fiction and it will get you thinking about so many things!
The Thief
by Megan Whalen Turner
Ruined by Paula Morris
I'm thinking something light and fluffy for summer: My Fair Godmother by Janette Rallison
I'll just be a broken record and say "Cold Sassy Tree" again.
The Eight by Katherine Neville
Going with Cutting for Stone. You won't regret it.
Can I still put my vote in?
Finnikin of the Rock

Melina Marchetta
Hmm, I'm going to go with the light and easy selections what with the baby and all. How about Miss Pettigrew Lives For a Day by Winifred Watson? (yes, again.)
Letter To My Daughter by Maya Angelou.
And just in the event your daughter arrives before I have a chance to comment again, I would like to wish you a peaceful delivery. I hope all goes well for you.
Remembering Isaac by Ben Behunin. Amazing book, but probably not in your library in Boston because he self-published it. It changed my life (and it's a really good book to read while breastfeeding!).
have you picked a book yet? if not, i am still voting for The Great Starvation Experiment. Non-fiction, but still interesting. (I usually hate non-fiction)
