Any suggestions for June?
 
I have this one on my wishlist...
The Year We Left Home

Since I'm sending my first off to college in August, this is one that I have on my list:
The Goodbye Quilt

I also have this one:
The Potluck Club

Still Alice

I don't know if this one was done but I really enjoyed this book:

The Secrets She Left Behind by Diane Chamberlain

How about Tina Fey's Bossypants?

ovaltine 05-19-2011 10:58 PM

How about Dreams of Joy by Lisa See and Unaccustomed Eart by Jhumpa Lahiri? They seem to have good reviews...

I'm hoping this one might make the historical reads short list again:
These Is My Words: The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine

How about this classic set in WWII? One of my all time favourite stories:

A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute

I second Still Alice, even though there's little chance I can get it in June (doesn't seem to be on offer in Slovak bookshops, and Amazon has too high a postage for Slovakia).

These are those that are on my toead list and I managed to get them:

Little Earthquakes

The Long Song

An Artist of the Floating World

Julie Billingsley 05-21-2011 10:30 AM

there are lots of good suggestions on the blog!

BrattyMeg 05-21-2011 12:57 PM

KristinCB 05-21-2011 01:06 PM

I JUST started reading the bronze horseman (would be historical fiction) so am gonna suggest that.. haha :)

kscwgirl 05-21-2011 10:22 PM

I have nothing productive to suggest. I read weird books. :D

I just started this series though.

I recently read "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" by Jamie Ford, and it was really good. It's a historical fiction from WW2 that takes place in Seattle, WA.

Also, it seemed like we had a LOT of really great books suggested in April for the May list that we didn't get to, maybe we should consider some of those as well? I remember thinking there were too many good books to choose from that list! ;)

Like Water For Chocolate by Laura Esquivel

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

scrappinsweetie 05-22-2011 02:07 PM

i personally really want to read this one: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Ill...?cds2Pid=28407 it is I will walk alone by Mary Higgins Clark

Amy Carey 05-22-2011 04:30 PM

double double double request The Bronze Horseman..........I swear on all I believe in every one here will LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

shaynesgirl 05-22-2011 08:24 PM

I would be game for Mary Higgins Clark or the glazed donut murder mystery series. Both sound like light summer reading to me. :thumbup:

cardinalskate 05-23-2011 10:48 AM

I'd love Bossypants or anything by Lisa See.

Here's two I just came across that looked good:

The Midwife's Confession by Diane Chamberlain

The Queen of New Beginnings by Erica James

kscwgirl 05-24-2011 01:25 PM

Stars Collide
Trust Me on This
Then He Kissed Me
My One and Only
Charlie All Night (or anything else by Jennifer Cruisie

I'm the same Sara! - though I have to say I loved Water for Elephants this month, which is something out of my usual type of finction.

By Connie Willis:

Blackout and All Clear

Excellent books (actually one book divided into two). Nebula Award Winner this year.

Giseli Freitas 05-25-2011 01:44 PM

What about The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins? I know it's a YA novel, but, really, I can't understand why... anyway, I devoured it!
I'm actually reading reading book 2, but could easily reead book 1.

I'll risk it and suggest something bizarre - I love Amélie Nothomb's Fear and Trembling. I read it in French and I have no idea about the quality of the English translation, but it's an interesting book to read.
