April 2019
After by Anna Todd
The Best of Enemies by Osha Gray Davidson
Breakthrough by Michael C. Grumley
I'm Special by Ryan O'Connell
Native Son by Richard Wright
Pet Sematary by Stephen King
Rudolf Nureyev: The Life by Julie Kavanagh (The White Crow)
The Silence by Tim Lebbon
Storm Boy by Colin Thiele









The Silence looks a lot like A Quiet Place... Then again, the book is written in 2015 and this movie was greenlit before the latter one... I am confused. So many accolades for originality and now it appears A Quiet Place wasn't original at all. It was just the first. And without any credits to the writer, at least for inspiration.

Lorena wrote: "Yup, its on my priority list! Nos4a2 was really good too (the tv series) but since I've already watched it, the Rook tempts me more to find out what happens. Only chapter 1 aired."

If you would like to give special attention** to a particular book with a movie or a show mentioned below, the easiest way to notify us would be right here. Our discussion board is messy enough :)
** We'll add it to our bookshelf and create a special thread for it. One book per month. If there would be an interest for two or more books in the same month, we'll add the first in that month and the others in the next ones.
