Tell Me What to Read: Round 6
A day late here on this, because I just couldn’t wait any extra moment to tell you how much I loved New York. And also relive that waffle at Max Brenner. Regardless, time to tell me what to read in December. This will surely be the book I take home with me and read on the plane flights between Boston and the west coast.
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 December.
- I’ll write a review of it here. Even if I hate the book, I will not hate you.
And. . .go!
Someday, Angeline by Louis Sachar. If you haven't read this, you must!
Charlotte's Rose, by A.E. Cannon
Don't know if you've read it, probably have.
The Poisonwood Bible! by Barbara Kingsolver
Gone in a Heartbeat: Our Daughters Died . . . Our Faith Endures by David & Marie Works.
So sad, so sweet and so inspiring. I promise you won't be able to put it down! 🙂
Cute blog! Love to read too.
Daughter of the Forest by Juliet Marillier
Three Cups of Tea – One man's mission to promote peace one school at a time
by Greg Mortenson
Fantastic true story!
How about Tangerine by Edward Bloor? It has always been a favorite.
I'll put in a vote for The Help by Kathryn Stockett. Really enjoyed that one.
Total Money Make Over by Dave Ramsey 🙂
I just finished reading "The Magician's Elephant" by Kate DiCamillo. She wrote "The Tale of Despereaux". It's a quick read – perfect for December. Although a little predictable, I still liked it. You've probably already read it though because you're cool like that…
gods in Alabama by Joshilyn Jackson. It's one of my favorite books of all times, so if you don't like it I may have to cry and stop reading your blog for a week. But no worries.
Daughter of Time, Josephine Tey
again.
Impossible Things by Connie Willis. It is collection of Science Fiction short stories. A bit of a mixed bag but I thought a few of them were exceptional.
The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein
The Rag and Bone Shop, by Robert Cormier
