April BOTM

[Sofia (Bookish Wanderess), Founder]

It's time to choose the april books! So please leave your recommendations in this discussion :)

[Nasir]

If March is Divergent, April could be Insurgent.

[palina]

Well if a lot of people end up liking the John Green book, which they probably will, maybe we could read Looking for Alaska.
Some other books that I've been wanting to read though that could be one of the options could be Graceling, Across the Universe, Warm Bodies and Daughter of Smoke and Bone

[Daphne]

I was also thinking Insurgent since we'll be reading Divergent (although I probably won't wait till april haha). The Casual Vacancy would get my vote as well

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

I'd like to nominate The Long Earth or A Discovery of Witches. I still have Cinder on my TBR list too, so that would be a great choice for me.

[Fabiola]

Unwind by Neal Shusterman

[Sofia (Bookish Wanderess), Founder]

Insurgent could be a great idea !! And with the amount of votes that divergent got, i think a lot of people will agree with that :)

[Linda]

"Septimus Heap: Fyre" will come out and I love it!! "Lola and the Boy Next Door" is on my list too and the "The Wise Man's Fear - Kingkiller Chronicle 2"!!

Hey guys! Don't forget to add the book links so the books you suggest end up in the "books mentioned" list and so everyone can check them out easily. Great suggestions already!

[Heather]

I would like to nominate "A Week in Winter" by Marcia Willett.

Hi everyone I want to nominate The Catcher in the Rye for April's book of the month.

[Zahrah]

I think or would be awesome for April :D

[Veena]

How about "Street of a Thousands Blossoms"?

[Jodi]

I too would like The Catcher in the Rye. I have always wanted to read this book.

[Shawna]

I second A Discovery of Witches

[Pierre]

The Phantom Menace by Terry Brooks.

[Emma]

I agree with discovery of witches or The Maze Runner which also looks amazing.

[Heather]

I agree with Insurgent or A Discovery of Witches.

[Rachael]

The Catcher In The Rye would also be my first choice. Insurgent would also be convenient since we're reading Divergent.

[Madeline]

Hey everyone!

I'm new to this group so I'm not exactly sure how this works but I have a couple books I'd like to suggest!

One is called "On the Jellicoe Road" (although it is called "Jellicoe Road" in the States)On the Jellicoe Road . It is one of my all time favorite books.

Also I would like to suggest a book called "LoveStar". It is by an Icelandic author and was recentely translated into English. It is one of those books that will stick with you for a very long time. LoveStar: A Novel

I hope my links worked, like I said I'm new!

[Lee]

Hi there, this might be a little uncouth, but I'll toss my book out for consideration (for April or later). It's The Last Hybrid: Bloodline of Angels and it launches this month. Information on the book is at http://www.TheLastHybrid.com.

Thanks.

[Kristy]

I would have to agree with Unwind and Insurgent for next month :)

The Valley of Unknowing
by Philip Sington

“Remarkable…Superbly anchored in place and time…[A] brilliant, evocative and accurate novel.” —The Times (London)

In the twilight years of Communist East Germany, Bruno Krug, author of a single world-famous novel written twenty years earlier, falls for Theresa Aden, a music student from the West. But Theresa has also caught the eye of a cocky young scriptwriter who delights in satirizing Krug’s work.

Asked to appraise a mysterious manuscript, Bruno is disturbed to find that the author is none other than his rival. Disconcertingly, the book is good—very good. But there is hope for the older man: the unwelcome masterpiece is dangerously political. Krug decides that if his affair with Theresa is to prove more than a fling, he must employ a small deception. But in the Workers’ and Peasants’ State, knowing the deceiver from the deceived, the betrayer from the betrayed, isn’t just difficult: it can be a matter of life and death.

This subtle, brilliantly plotted story will remind many readers of von Donnersmarck’s Oscar-winning film The Lives of Others.(less)The Valley of Unknowing

Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy

Loved or want to read all the above

[Lauren]

I think we should do Easy by Tammara Webber

[Michelle]

Insurgent, Unwind, and a Discovery of Witches are all amazing.

[Terry ~ Huntress of Erudition]

Gone Girl

[Jaime]

A Discovery of Witches sounds absolutely amazing.

[Daphne]

Here are my recommendations again with the links:Insurgent, The Casual Vacancy or Before I Die

[Anna]

My recommendations...
Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, Neon Angel, Looking for Alaska, Warm Bodies, Go Ask Alice, and Ender's Game

[Loli]

Insurgent or Traveling, maybe reached, have we already read those?

[Alexia]

Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter!

[Sierra]

Between Shades of Grey

[Laura ☾]

Totally in for Me Before You, it's already been suggested.

[Jason]

'The Restorer' by Daniela Murphy. Won Rubery First Novel award 2012 and has been overlooked. Suspense, historical intrigue, tragic romance and a 'supernatural' twist + beautifully written. One to discover.

[Melissa]

I would love to recommend for April any of these titles:

The Casual Vacancy
Gone Girl
Ender's Game
Insurgent
The Perks of Being a Wallflower

[Sofia (Bookish Wanderess), Founder]

Guys, i forgot to tell you, but you need to put the books link when you make a suggestion so the books you suggest end up in the "books mentioned" list and can be added to the poll for book of the month.

[Amelle]

I am game for any of these...

Red Riding, Rise of the Werewolf Huntress
Ready Player One
Perks of being a Wallflower

[Dustin]

I have a few suggestions:

[Amee]

Ok got all your suggestions., " how about a tiger mom" did you heard about that?

[Jason]

Thanks for the reminder, Laura:



This one should really be made into a movie - tell me I'm wrong!

[Heather]

I'd like to suggest Margaret Atwood's The Handmaid's Tale. That or any other book of hers.

[N.M.]

I'd like to suggest:

Morningstar by David Gemmell
Why We Broke Up by Daniel Handler
The Lovely Bones by Alice Sebold

[N.M.]

It's funny that you have suggest Plum Island, because it's one of the random books I got from my mom years ago! Haven't read it yet.

[Ali]

Ender's Game

[Olya]

I vote for If I Stay
Where She Went

[Kelley]

My vote is for Cinder: Cinder or The Giver

I figure since we're reading about a dystopian society this month, maybe the original dystopian society would be an interesting read.

Also Matchedhas a vote from me.

[Casey]

My suggestions are:



Insurgent (this makes sense since we're currently reading Divergent)

Cinder

Splintered

Pivot Point

[Stephanie]

i recommend The Nature of Jade by Deb Caletti
