Any suggestions for June?

[ZaCola3]

I have this one on my wishlist...
The Year We Left Home

 

[Paula]

Since I'm sending my first off to college in August, this is one that I have on my list:
The Goodbye Quilt

I also have this one:
The Potluck Club

 

[*Celeste*]

Still Alice

the paris wife

 

[maggie965]

I don't know if this one was done but I really enjoyed this book:

The Secrets She Left Behind by Diane Chamberlain

 

[scrapsandsass]

How about Tina Fey's Bossypants?

 

[ovaltine]

How about Dreams of Joy by Lisa See and Unaccustomed Eart by Jhumpa Lahiri? They seem to have good reviews...

 

[livelys]

I'm hoping this one might make the historical reads short list again:
These Is My Words: The Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine

 

[livelys]

How about this classic set in WWII? One of my all time favourite stories:

A Town Like Alice by Nevil Shute

 

[adrianka]

I second Still Alice, even though there's little chance I can get it in June (doesn't seem to be on offer in Slovak bookshops, and Amazon has too high a postage for Slovakia).

These are those that are on my toead list and I managed to get them:

Little Earthquakes

The Long Song

An Artist of the Floating World

 

[Julie Billingsley]

there are lots of good suggestions on the blog!

 

[BrattyMeg]

keep em coming I"ll just do the poll next week off this thread!

 

[KristinCB]

I JUST started reading the bronze horseman (would be historical fiction) so am gonna suggest that.. haha

 

[kscwgirl]

I have nothing productive to suggest. I read weird books.

I just started this series though.

 

[Andrea G]

I recently read "Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet" by Jamie Ford, and it was really good. It's a historical fiction from WW2 that takes place in Seattle, WA.

Also, it seemed like we had a LOT of really great books suggested in April for the May list that we didn't get to, maybe we should consider some of those as well? I remember thinking there were too many good books to choose from that list!

 

[livelys]

Like Water For Chocolate by Laura Esquivel

The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield

 

[scrappinsweetie]

i dropped off in may because of the hectic schedule but hope to jump back in in june.

i personally really want to read this one: http://search.barnesandnoble.com/Ill-Walk-Alone/Mary-Higgins-Clark/e/9781439186794/?cds2Pid=28407 it is I will walk alone by Mary Higgins Clark

 

[Amy Carey]

double double double request The Bronze Horseman..........I swear on all I believe in every one here will LOVE LOVE LOVE it!

 

[shaynesgirl]

I would be game for Mary Higgins Clark or the glazed donut murder mystery series. Both sound like light summer reading to me. :thumbup:

 

[cardinalskate]

I'd love Bossypants or anything by Lisa See.

Here's two I just came across that looked good:

The Midwife's Confession by Diane Chamberlain

The Queen of New Beginnings by Erica James

 

[kscwgirl]

I'm more of a "fluff" book reader.. so these would all be chick lit category....

Stars Collide
Trust Me on This
Then He Kissed Me
My One and Only
Charlie All Night (or anything else by Jennifer Cruisie

I'm the same Sara! - though I have to say I loved Water for Elephants this month, which is something out of my usual type of finction.

By Connie Willis:

Blackout and All Clear

Excellent books (actually one book divided into two). Nebula Award Winner this year.

 

[Giseli Freitas]

What about The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins? I know it's a YA novel, but, really, I can't understand why... anyway, I devoured it!
I'm actually reading reading book 2, but could easily reead book 1.

I'll risk it and suggest something bizarre - I love Amélie Nothomb's Fear and Trembling. I read it in French and I have no idea about the quality of the English translation, but it's an interesting book to read.
