Default ~Book Suggestions for May~

If you have a book or two in mind to read for May please post them. If you could put the genre with it so when we do a poll I can separate the books by the type of read!

Oh please choose this one - I've just ordered in via Amazon!

Has any one tried this one: A Discovery of Witches
I've just finished listening to it & loved it. Its witches/ vamps, set in modern times with historical references. Not in a teen or 'stake 'em all' vamp way - more grown up & thoughtful.

Not sure how many of you have read the Book Thief by Markus Zusak but thought Id chime in and let you know that we did it at our bookclub and its the only book we've read that we all unanimously enjoyed - teens to grandparents - males and females. It seemed to appeal to a wide audience and is truly a beautifully written work.

Great pick Kristin

I have a few suggestions:

The Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison Allen (Fiction)

The Girl Who Chased the Moon by Sarah Addison Allen (Fiction)

Enchanted, Inc. by Shanna Swendson (this is sort of like Sex and the City meets Harry Potter - I loved the series) (Fiction)

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer (Historical Fiction)

These Is My Words is an excellent read... I saw that mentioned above...

Just my 2¢
