I am going to throw some suggestions out there if anyone is interested in joining me for D-Cot Book Club
Here are some books I am wanting to read:
-Hidden Figures
-Wonder
-Beneath A Scarlet Sky
-The Glass Castle
-Before We Were Yours
-Lilac GirlsIf anyone is interested in reading any of these, or if you have any other suggestions of books you’ve been wanting to read, let me know and maybe we can get started!
Glass Castle is really good.
I am interested in keeping tabs on what you all read (always looking for good suggestions), but with 3 under the age of 7 my ‘me time’ is limited.
XP@Starbee Did you get any of the above books? Or… did you pick one yet? I’ll join you in whatever one you decide on. I have a Kindle so I can have the book ‘ in my hands’ instantly! Let me know!
Glass Castle is really good.
I am interested in keeping tabs on what you all read (always looking for good suggestions), but with 3 under the age of 7 my ‘me time’ is limited.
It sounds really good! I can imagine your me time is limited! If you’re looking for a good suggestion, I am currently reading The Handmaid’s Tale and I just can’t get enough!!!
@Acamm I don’t want to be a dictator so I’m seeking input from others on which book to choose
I got Wonder for Christmas and I have a couple of the other books also. I’m open to any book, and my top 2 picks from the above list are Wonder (which @starbee has and @grumpytude MIGHT have!?!?) or Hidden Figures.
My oldest had to read Wonder. His review was
but he is 12 so….That’s sad he didn’t enjoy it. I think the story is a very important lesson for children.
I’m open to anything that isn’t a true blue romance book. I’m so behind on reading I don’t even know what is out there and who is writing what anymore.
I also missed reading which is why I decided to get back into it this year. I’m with you, I’m not really into romance novels and nothing on my list falls in that category. I don’t know a whole lot about what’s out there, and the last book I read was from 1962 and the book I’m reading now is from 1985 so nothing recent
Here’s a short overview of my suggestions:
Hidden Figures – this is about female, African American scientists and mathematicians working for NASA, a true story
Wonder – a book about a young boy with a facial deformity facing the world, especially school for the first time
Beneath A Scarlet Sky – another true story about a war hero in Italy during WWII
The Glass Castle – a memoir about a woman who was raised by nomadic parents
Before We Were Yours – two overlapping stories about girls who were taken from an orphanage, based on a real life scandal
Lilac Girls – a story about three women’s experiences in Poland, France and Germany when WWII breaks out (fiction)My 3 choices:
Hidden Figures – this is about female, African American scientists and mathematicians working for NASA, a true story
Wonder – a book about a young boy with a facial deformity facing the world, especially school for the first time
Before We Were Yours – two overlapping stories about girls who were taken from an orphanage, based on a real life scandal Ok… so who is making the final decision?!?!?!
