I finally picked up a copy of this from the library and I am really happy I finally get to read it. I've been wanting to ever since I've heard of its synopsis! I do like a good, romantic (well-told) love story every once in a while, and this just seems like the perfect pick. So far, so good.
And also, I wanted to write this post to ask you guys for another set of book recommendations! I've already told you before, how I have discovered so many great reads because of your suggestions, so if you have any additional book titles that you think I might enjoy, please do tell me about them! I am sort of craving for a good love story too (not from the Romance genre) or maybe a good historical fiction set in the WWII era. I always like contemporary YA too, and any mystery/thrillers are awesome as well. Basically, recommend any book, in any genre. Thanks! :)
Have you read The Bronze Horseman by Paullina Simons? It's a great love story AND a WWII historical fiction (set in the USSR)
ReplyDeleteYou know I'm not going to let you forget about Still Alice :-). Also, you must read Dan Wells trilogy, the 1st is I'm not a Serial Killer, fascinating story and character.
ReplyDeleteEverything that I was going to suggest you have already read. Which is pretty fantastic. I love the fact that you love recommendations. I do too :)
ReplyDeleteDid you ever read The Sky is Everywhere? I saw the IMM post, but no review. If I had to recommend one Contemporary YA- that would be it.

Reviews are attached. I haven't read and reviewed all of them but it is a start. I LOVE WWII novels so I keep it handy.
I have that one out from the library too! I'm so excited for it!
ReplyDeleteBelle - No i have not read that. Or heard of it. Thank you. I will for sure try to borrow that from the library.
ReplyDeleteMarce - i LOVE Still Alice like you too :) And I really should check out Dan Wells trilogy. Another blogger recommended that to me a while ago!
Trish - I have read The Sky Is Everywhere! :) I did like it, though I don't know why I haven't really written a review from it. Maybe I was suffering from blogger's block when I read it! lol
Alexis - Oh thanks. I'll check out your list :)
Steph - It's really good so far. Hope you like it!
I recommend the Postmistress & Water for Chocolate. I have a copy of the Postmistress lying on my bookshelves, but I haven't read it yet. My best friend has read it and told me it's the greatest story she has ever read, besides HP. :) Water for Chocolate is written by Laura Esquivel. It's my favourite book in the romance genre. I def. recommend that one.
ReplyDeleteNina - I have not read Postmistress but have read Water for Chocolate. I will try to borrow that one!
ReplyDeleteTotto-Chan: The Little Girl At The Window by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi
ReplyDeleteWell it's non-fiction, but written like fiction (vignettes of childhood memory). Set around WWII in Japan but war is not the main focus. It's about parents & their "difficult" child, and headmaster & his students. It touched me every time I read it.
Christa - Wow, that does sound like a fantastic and unique story! I must check it out and see if it's something I might enjoy. I don't particularly read non-fiction, but I never say no to books, so if I can find the right non-fiction, I might give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation.
