Tell Me What to Read: Round 5
Once again, the month is coming to an end. Which means. . . .time to tell me what to read in November.
It can be any genre, any age level, and have been published last week or three hundred years ago. You can pick it because it’s a book that everyone should read or because it changed your life or because it is great literature or just because it entertained you. You can DEFINITELY suggest the same book you suggested last month.
Here’s how it goes:
- Comment with the title of one book you think I should read (any book you want). One title only, please, lest my brain explode.
- I’ll select one comment at random and announce it on the blog later this week
- 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).
- I’ll get a copy of the book and read it by the end of November.
- I’ll write a review of it here. Even if I hate the book, I will not hate you.
And. . .go!
How about Drums, Girls, and Dangerous Pie by Jordan Sonnenblick.
Once again, I'm going with East by Edith Pattou.
Thirsty by Tracey Bateman.
The Rag and Bone Shop, Robert Cormier. /sigh I'll just keep tryin'.
DAUGHTER OF THE FOREST.
(And this had better give it two draws. Angiegirl, I've got your back.)
Gilead by Marilynne Robinson, it is beautiful.
I think you should read Cat's Eye by Margaret Atwood.
Unless you already have, of course!
I have to recommend again my favorite book (or at least in my top 5), Funny in Farsi by Firoozeh Dumas.
I guarantee you've read it (since you've read everything I suggest…) but how about Daddy-Long-Legs by Jean Webster. I just reread it and remembered how delightful it is 🙂
Autumn Street by Lois Lowry. My prof. said it's the author's favorite, out of ALL her books, but I just couldn't figure out what to make of it. I need another opnion!
Ooh I loved Autumn Street, by the way..
Daughter of Time, Josephine Tey
The Poisonwood Bible… Barbara Kingsolver
If you haven't read the Summer Tree by Guy Gavriel Kaye give it a try I love this book.
The Lake of Dead Languages
by
Carol Goodman
I'm nominating East of Eden again!
One of these years I might actually get picked…..
"Poison Study"
