This week's top ten list:
Top Ten Books For a Book Club
As I stated in a recent post, my friends and I have recently embarked upon our first book club, BYOB&B. So, I am excited about this top ten to receive some feedback from other bloggers about which books they would recommend.
As a fan of YA, I tend to not know many books that would be book club worthy. Not that YA books aren't book club worthy; they just would require a very special/genre specific book club. Thus, my list is going to be a BOOK CLUB FOR THE YOUNG ADULT.
1. The Statistical Probaiblity of Love at First Sight by Jennifer E. SmithWhy? Because I cannot get enough of this book. And I needed another plug for my giveaway -- Win SPOLAFS here! But, for real. This book is not just for the YA, it is for any girl who has dreams of finding love at first sight. Yet, it is the moments of growing up and witnessing your life change that resonate.
2. The Book Thief by Marcus ZusakI confess. I have yet to read this book, but as it is my current book club book, I figure it must make a great one. I have heard wonderful things about this book and am very excited to read it.
3. The Hunger Games by Suzanne CollinsI have heard grown-up boys say that they love this book and that the YA genre part of it shouldn't let anybody be deterred. I agree. Love, love, love this series.
4. The Outsiders by S.E. HintonI loved this book in school. And I really did not like reading for school. So the fact I read and finished this one is a true testament to how great it is.
5. To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper LeeAnother book read for school that I actually finished. I guess you could say I liked any classic that could fall into the YA genre. This story is so meaningful and beautiful.
6. Before I Die by Jenny DownhamThis book has been waiting for me on my shelf for months. I want to read it. Really and truly. It just seems so sad that I never pick it up. But without actually having read it, I would believe it would have a great amount of themes and messages for any reader to take away.
7. Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver Oh this book. It tortured me. I loved it way more than I expected to. I would make my book club read this if we didn't have a rule about already having read the books.
8. If I Stay by Gayle Foreman Now, I have read this book. And it did a number on my heart.
9. Lola and the Boy Next Door by Stephanie Perkins
This is just a cute and wonderful book. The characters are poignant and the story is adorable.
10. Divergent by Veronica RothBecause I live in Chicago and if I were to make my book club read any dystopian novel I think they would appreciate this one that is set in our great city.
