Waiting for Wobble

**Day 4 Recommendations**

ANYTHING GOES

Have at it! :) Recommend up to 6 books that you want to recommend for any reason! Recommend your favorites, prettiest covers, a theme of some kind, you can even recommend your most hated if you want... :)

Recommend anything, but tell us why! :)


FAQ
Recommendations FAQ -
Through this read-a-thon, we're going to recommend books in the hopes of putting a ton more books on our TBR! With recommendations ~
╰⊰✿ Try to recommend something not extremely popular (no Harry Potter!) We want to get new books and with extremely big series/books, people already know about them. Give us something new to want!
╰⊰✿ REMEMBER: Our group is an ALL AGES group. Please no recommendations of a mature nature. Gore and violence is ok (it's in Hunger Games after all) but nothing too over the top and no erotica please.

Alison (a1ison74) | 2826 comments I'm going for a bit of an animal theme with my final days recommendations. If you like animals in books these are for you.

3 a.m. (Henry Bins #1) by Nick Pirog 3 a.m. by Nick Pirog. A cat called Lassie who behaves like a dog. The conversations between the MC and Lassie are classic.

The Knife of Never Letting Go (Chaos Walking, #1) by Patrick Ness The Chaos Walking Trilogy by Patrick Ness. In this series you get to hear the thoughts of all of the animals the MC's come across. Absolutely brilliant and their thoughts are strangely believable.

The Nothing Girl by Jodi Taylor - The Nothing Girl by Jodi Taylor - An invisible speaking horse called Thomas, the loudest donkey ever and possibly the ugliest cat. What more could you want?

Unforeseen by Nick Pirog - Unforeseen by Nick Pirog - Another Nick Pirog but this time it's a more traditional detective story. The animal in this one is a narcoleptic pug. Brilliant.

I will no doubt add some more but that's it for now.

Cecily Black | 1805 comments Here is a couple of books in Verse probably one of my favorite ways to read a novel. Ellen Hopkins is really one of my favourite authors.

What My Mother Doesn't Know (What My Mother Doesn't Know #1) by Sonya Sones
Crank (Crank, #1) by Ellen Hopkins
Chasing Brooklyn by Lisa Schroeder
Forget Me Not by Carolee Dean

Drishti (drishti_ohri) | 1047 comments I recently read You're Never Weird on the Internet. It's a memoir. As a rule, I never read nonfiction. Never. So, being the overthinker I am, I spent an hour contemplating whether to read this book or not. Yes, an hour. But, once I picked up the book and discovered it's awesomeness, I wanted to kick myself for not reading this book sooner. (Sadly, kicking oneself is not possible.) Felicia Day has this great sense of humor and she can connect with anyone! So, please give this book a try!

A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness A Monster Calls - a lovely read but very sad. I shed quite a few tears.

Fingersmith by Sarah Waters Fingersmith - this book is full of twists and turns

I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith I Capture the Castle - my favourite coming of age story

Snow Flower and the Secret Fan by Lisa See Snow Flower and the Secret Fan - I loved reading about the relationship between the 2 girls/women and how it progresses over the years.

Dissolution (Matthew Shardlake, #1) by C.J. Sansom Dissolution - first book in one of the best historical mystery series ever

The School for Good and Evil (The School for Good and Evil, #1) by Soman Chainani The School for Good and Evil - a fun read about a school where girls and boy learn how to be fairy tale princes/princesses and villians
