Tell Me What to Read: Round 18
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.
And There Was Light: Autobiography of Jacques Lusseyran, Blind Hero of the French Resistance.
Have you read Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls? If not, I recommend that! 🙂
Two-Part Invention, by Madeleine L'Engle, per usual!
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot, an amazing non-fiction book.
Unbroken by Laura Hillenbrand.
I just read Nurtureshock and enjoyed it thoroughly, so that is my suggestion.
Russian Winter by Daphne Kalotay
Searching for Dragons, Patricia Wrede.
Major Pettigrew's Last Stand by Helen Simonson
Prince of Foxes
The Dark Hills Divide by Patrick Carmen
The Imperfectionists by Tom Rachmann
The Magicians by Lev Grossman. I bet you're shocked by this suggestion, aren't you?
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet by Jamie Ford.
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.
I'm going to suggest Precious Bane by Mary Webb.
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!!
It has been too long! I suggest East of Eden by Steinbeck.
The Girl From Foreign by Sadia Shepard- just finished reading it for book club.
I Am Not A Serial Killer by Dan Wells
