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?
