I loved several of these but have never been able to get into Jodi Picoult. (or Kristin Hannah)
ReplyDeleteAlmost every book I read is a book recommended to me by someone in my reading life. I remember recommending Lonesome Dove to my niece when she was in high school. It made her a reader. A happy moment.
ReplyDeleteI sure liked The Hatchet!
ReplyDeleteMy post.
I love that your kids recommend so many books to you. That's awesome! You raised your own book club :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!
I love Jodi Picoult's books, though Leaving Time isn't one of my favourites!

Lonesome Dove was McMurtry's best of many good books. Thanks for coming by.
ReplyDeleteSo fun that you got recommendations from your daughters! Must be fun to be able to talk books in the family :)
ReplyDeleteI read my first Jodi Picoult novel because my boss at the time recommended her to me. I'm so glad she did!
ReplyDeleteIn middle school, I read and loved Hatchet by Paulsen. My TTT list.
ReplyDeleteSuch a good list with a good variety of books. I need to start keeping track of who I get my recommendations from so I can give them a shout out when I read them.
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss out on A Very Stable Genius. I'm going to have to look for that one. :)

Great way to organize the recommendations- one a month :) Thanks for visiting me - always love a visitor!
ReplyDeleteLonesome Dove I think I remember the show they made out of it? I bet it's quite the read.
ReplyDeleteI read Hatchet with my kids, as well! I'm not a big fan of westerns, but Lonesome Dove is one I'd like to read. :)
ReplyDeleteohhh. your sister got really good book taste. I've read leaving time yeaaarssss ago but my heart still becomes soft when i remember it. <3
ReplyDeleteI had to look twice at your sweater. Glad Obama is helping during the voting season. I believe strongly that democrats have a chance!
ReplyDeleteLots of great books here this week! I didn't think about Hatchet at all, but a really great librarian recommended it to me when I was a kid and I fell in love with it—and other survival books!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read any of these yet, although several have been on my radar. Me and White Supremacy is on my TBR list (and on my Kindle.)
