Tell Me What to Read: Round 20
It’s BACK! After a more than year-long hiatus, I’m back in Tell Me What to Read business.
I am just a little ridiculously excited.
I hope you are too, and that you’d like to suggest something for me to read over the next month or so. If so, here’s the guidelines:
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 in a reasonable time frame.
5. I’ll write a review of it here. Even if I hate the book, I will not hate you.
Comment away!
A Friend at Midnight by Caroline B. Cooney. One of my YA favorites 🙂
So happy to see this has returned! I tried it with my students this year and was only mildly successful. Anyway, my suggestion is Half Brother by Kenneth Oppel.
The Selection by Kiera Cass
Nicholas and Alexandra by Robert K. Massie. It's pretty hefty, and I'm only half way through, but I'm absolutely fascinated by it.
Considering that most of my book recs come from you, this is a bit silly for me to be entering. But my favorite author is David Eddings, so you have to read Pawn of Prophecy by him. Yes, it's fantasy, but it's FANTASTIC.
The Night Circus-Erin Morgenstern. One of my favorites this year.
Mudbound by Hilary Jordan. I read this for book club and we all loved it.
I second the Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern! Is that allowed? Best book I've read in a long time!
Evertaster by Adam Glennon Sidwell.
Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys
Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. So relevant.
Yay! I was wondering if you were ever going to bring this back!
I recommend Bringing up Geeks by MaryBeth Hicks.
Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin. One of the best children's books I've read this year for sure 🙂
THE PARIS WIFE by Paula McLain
I'm listening to it right now and it's very interesting to ready.
I want you to read The Leftovers by Tom Perrotta! I haven't finished it yet, but it's really good so far, and I think it raises some interesting philosophical/religious questions.
The Language of Flowers by Vanessa Diffenbaugh.
Just one title? Argh, if you insist. I've read 12 books this month and write a monthly (or so) post on my blog if you ever need recs.
Anyway, I'm going to go with "Outside the Lines" by Amy Havtany.
My Cousin Rachel by Daphne DuMaurier! My life goal to get as many people as possible to read it.
I'm de-lurking to say that this is such a great idea for a blog post. What a fun way to find books to read.
Here's my suggestion: What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty. It's a sort of mystery that is light & charming.
Yay, tell me what to read is back! How about Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman? It's perfect for summer.
