Hi everyone

I've found myself moving in very similar circles bookwise. In order to open things up a bit I would like you bookworms on here to suggest some books for me to read.

I will read the first 10 books that are suggested. -

(Assuming I get 10 responses to this

)

Anything at all, fiction, non-fiction, modern, classics - I'll read the first 10 that come up

Thanks everyone x

Eva Luna by Isabelle Allende.

I very rarely re-read a book but I re-read my original copy of this one so often that it fell apart and had to be replaced.

Hiya everyone.

Thank you very much for all of the great suggestions, I will read all 11 of them

I've written them all down and will buy them all and read them

I've never even heard of many of these books so I am really excited about reading them. I am not even going to read a review or synopsis - I'm going in blind to just read them.

I've had both the Kite Runner and Rebecca have both been recommended to me before but never got round to them - So looking forward to them too

I'll buy the first one suggested 'Eva Luna' on Thursday and let the reading begin. Thank you so much everybody I will update this thread after I've read each one too..... thank you again x

What a great thread - I really admire your adventurous spirit, evesapples131!

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on the thread to see what you think of each of the 11 books. Hope you enjoy the adventure!

Just in case you need another and just by way of a bit of shameless self-promotion I'll suggest that you give my own literary genius a go... :eek:

In case you need another recommendation OP, Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden is a fantastic read

dinkycat · 14/08/14 - 18:19

Can I suggest 'Wool' by Hugh Howey? I've recommended this to a few people and they gave loved it (and the further two books of the trilogy.

I've got the first book, Eva Luna (I had to re-buy because the first copy I bought arrived in German

) . I just have to finish the end of something else then I'll get going on it, really looking forward to reading it and the others

I've written down the new recommendations, I'm going to read those too. This is going to be fun
