I am finally finally put together enough to return to Tell Me What to Read. I am certain you have all felt its absence acutely. I even have finally finished and have reviews of the last two books pending. Hallelujah.
So, on to the main event:
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 by the end of the 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 March.
5. I’ll write a review of it here. Even if I hate the book, I will not hate you.
I’m all excited to see what you lovely readers suggest! It’s been too long.
Karina says
And There Was Light: Autobiography of Jacques Lusseyran, Blind Hero of the French Resistance.
tootie says
Have you read Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls? If not, I recommend that! 🙂
RA says
Two-Part Invention, by Madeleine L'Engle, per usual!
GeogJen says
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, an amazing non-fiction book.
Julie M. Smith says
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand.
lifeofadoctorswife says
I just read Nurtureshock and enjoyed it thoroughly, so that is my suggestion.
Carole says
Russian Winter by Daphne Kalotay
smalldog says
Searching for Dragons, Patricia Wrede.
Suey says
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson
Katie says
Prince of Foxes
Carly says
The Dark Hills Divide by Patrick Carmen
LatteLove says
The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachmann
NGS says
The Magicians by Lev Grossman. I bet you're shocked by this suggestion, aren't you?
emandtrev says
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford.
Becky says
Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon. Terrific historical fiction with a little time-travel thrown in there for fun. I always think with a Scottish accent after I finish reading these books.
melissa @ 1lbr says
I'm going to suggest Precious Bane by Mary Webb.
Heather West says
My bishops wife just finished a trilogy and the first one just came out… It is called Behind the Mist by M.J Evans. I haven't read it yet. So don't hate me if you don't like it!!
Merry says
It has been too long! I suggest East of Eden by Steinbeck.
Jodi says
The Girl From Foreign by Sadia Shepard- just finished reading it for book club.
Megan B. says
I Am Not A Serial Killer by Dan Wells
ssm says
Ok, you've probably read it, but Peace Love and Baby Ducks by Lauren Myracle. I listened to the audiobook last month and it kept me going through a week's worth of chores.
Elsha says
"The Hourglass Door" It's good stuff.
Lisa says
Jessica's Guide to Dating on the Dark Side by Beth Fantaskey
Yes, it's about vampires… I know, I know… but it really is it's own different kind of vampire story.
It was a fluff read – I saw it in my Costco magazine and checked it out from the library for fun. And I loved it.
My previous recommendations stand too. 🙂
Bart says
Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson
Mia says
The Thief by Megan Whalen Turner
heidikins says
I'm with Merry–East of Eden, Steinbeck.
xox
Mad Hadder says
Bart, The Mistborn books are sweeping through my 7th grade room this year like wildfire!! But I suggest Pat Conroy's new nonfiction, My Reading Life. It's writing at its best. Truly.
Kimberly says
Pretty sure I should suggest a book every once and a while since I regularly use these lists like they were suggestions made to me. I liked Mistborn, but if you're going to read a Brandon Sanderson book, I'd recommend Alcatraz vs. the Evil Librarians for obvious reasons.
Sarah says
Another Jeanette Walls – The Glass Castle. I wish I was able to read more than just text lately… This was the last book I read for leisure and it was two months ago 🙁
Alison K. says
Maisie Dobbs by Jacqueline Winspear
ACQ says
The Wee Free Men by Terry Pratchett
