Every year I like to compose a tentative reading list for myself. Being a college student means that reading for fun is something that is forgotten and replace instead with 35 pages about curiosity cabinets--which actually was pretty interesting and may or may not be inspiring an upcoming post! I make this list as kind of a list of goals. These are the books that I have to read before December 31, 2015.
The trouble is--and I will once again blame school and a hectic schedule--I have no idea what is out there anymore! I have a library card that is just dying to see the inside of Carnegie and several buses waiting to take me to Barnes and Noble. So what should I read? I have just a few in mind: Fifth Avenue, 5 A.M. by Sam Wasson, which I got for Christmas, makes the list. I also would like to get around to ordering and reading The Last Tycoon by F. Scott Fitzgerald as well as some of his short stories (if you have followed me for awhile, you know I'm a fan!) However, beyond those I am pretty much drawing a blank. That's where you lovely and worldly people come in...
What are some of your favorite books that I should crack open? What novels call for a weekend curled up in bed? Leave your suggestions below--I will also be reviewing what I do read in my Book Club posts as I finish them!

That's okay! I appreciate you stopping by! xo
DeleteNo real suggestions since I havent been reading much books, however this post has inspired me to pick up a book more often. Thanks for that. Perhaps share a post on what books were recommended.

Once I have a solid list I will be sure to share, Meghan! Also, if you do happen to pick up a good one, I'd love to hear about it!
DeleteWhere do I start, hihi, I loved the books 'The Little Old Lady Who Broke All The Rules' and 'The Understudy'. I hope you find perfect books to read :) If you need any more book recommendations let me know ;)

Thanks for the suggestions!! I will definitely look them up and do some research! :)
DeleteI am gonna share with you 3 book titles; the previous, the current and the one that will follow and it's up to you to decide:
ReplyDeleteThe Previous: Dark Places by Gillian Flynn // I loved Gone Girl but I was ecstatic about this one! If you like mysteries then I promise you will really enjoy this one.
The Current: The Strain by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan // I started reading it after watching the 1st season on Fox and I think that the book is a masterpiece (I already bought the two that follow)
The one that will follow: I think that instead of reading the Strain's sequel I am going for The Double by Jose Saramago cause I am dying to watch Enemy starring Jake Gyllenhaal, which was based on the book.
I am not sure I helped you, but I definitely gave you some mystery/thriller/horror options =)
Thanks so much for the suggestions! I've read Gone Girl; I have not read any of Flynn's other books. I will definitely look these up!
