On Monday, January 12, 2015 by Vicki Lesage in book recommendations
Today we have a guest post from Emma at Words and Peace. Emma, take it away!
Do you make resolutions in January? Even if you are pretty sure you won't keep them, it gives you a good feeling, right?
I have the feeling many of us avid bookivores want to tackle once for all our insanely crammed to-be-read shelves. To add to our stacks, David at The Quivering Pen even came up with a list of 200 books to read in 5 years.
One year at a time for me! So sorting through the 860 books currently on my TBR Goodreads shelf, and based on what I hear everyone talking about, here is my list of 9 books to finally read in 2015:
2. Stoner, by John Edward Williams
3. Love in the Time of Cholera, by Gabriel Garcia Marquez
4. The Woman in White, by Wilkie Collins
5. Cosmicomics, by Italo Calvino
6. The Art Forger, by B. A. Shapiro
7. The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green
8. Wanderlust: A History of Walking, by Rebecca Solnit
9. All the Light We Cannot See: A Novel, by Anthony Doerr
Have you read any of these? Which books have you been meaning to read? Is this the year you'll finally do it?!?
Emma has loved reading ever since the tender age of 4 when her mom taught her how, mainly to keep her occupied in the otherwise quiet and sleepy French town she grew up in. Now residing in Illinois, Emma blogs about books at Words and Peace and also runs France Book Tours.
Also, Emma is generously is offering all Velvet Morning Press authors $15 off of its “Eiffel” book tour package. Merci, France Book Tours!
