I like that there is a special day to honor those of us that love books. Recently I saw a poll that asked readers to choose the best book they have ever read. Who could ever decide? I have a hard enough time narrowing down a list to ten.
I have a list of books I share with people looking for book recommendations. I call it:
If You Haven't Read This Book , Add It to Your "To Read List" . You Won't Be Sorry!
(of course, strictly my opinion)
Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger
Just Mercy by Brian Stevenson
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
The Outsiders by S,E, Hinton
Still Alice by Lisa Genova
The Secret Life of Bees by Sue Monk Kidd
Educated by Tara Westover
Refuge: An Unnatural History of Family and Place by Terry Tempest Williams
Into the Wild by Jon Krakauer ( all titles by him)
Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver
Plain Truth by Jodi Picoult
My next list is books people have recommended to me and I have not yet read , but are on my "To Read" list:
Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants by Robin Wall Kimmerer
The Yellow House by Sarah M. Broom
Deep Creek: Finding Hope in the High Country by Pam Houston
Crazy Brave by Joy Harjo
Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann
A Prayer for Owen Meany by John Irving
Between Two Worlds by Ta-Nehisi Coates
A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman
anything by Michael Lewis
The Big Burn and others by Timothy Egan
What books would you add to either list?
Great lists, Christy. I’ve read many, and there are many I haven’t yet. Updating my own TBR list now!
ReplyDeleteGood! I wish there were more hours in the day for reading.
