Sofia (Bookish Wanderess) (sofia-bookishwanderess) | 221 comments We are gonna read the first book of the month in february, please leave your recommendations in the comments :)


message 2: by Gabby (new)

Gabby (gaaabbers) what about Life of Pi by Yann Martel since the movie has just come out? I think The Diviners (The Diviners, #1) by Libba Bray could also be good.

Sofia (Bookish Wanderess) (sofia-bookishwanderess) | 221 comments Life of Pi may be a good idea since someone just talked about it in the currently reading discussion. I have never heard of The diviners before but it looks like a good book !!

BTW, the poll to decide which book are we going to read, it's gonna be post in january 15, so make your recommendation before that day!

message 8: by Kimi (new)

Kimi (hateeverybeautifulday) I like the Life of Pi idea (even though I finished it last night, I'll still be happy to join in discussions etc about it in Feb).
I think it's a good idea, what with the recent renewed intrest due to the movie.

message 16: by Lillian (new)

Lillian (moodymoe) If you want a romance YA, I recommend "This Lullaby" by Sarah Dessen, it's been one of my favorites for YEARS. c:
A more historical novel (with romance) that's my favorite is Water for Elephants.
I'm currently reading "Between Shades of Gray" and it's amazing, on it's way to one of my favorite book list c: if anyone needs recs, check out my page c:
