Rachel Bea (gekrepten) | 650 comments Hi Avid Read & Geek Girl! From your dusty bookshelf, I pick:

Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson & The Glittering Court (The Glittering Court, #1) by Richelle Mead

I really loved Speak back when I read it. The Glittering Court sounds like it could be good!

For your bonus picks, I suggest:
The House by Christina Lauren
which I noticed is on your TBR shelf. I listened to it on audio too actually and thought it was pretty good.

But if you want something not-spooky, i also suggest: Everything, Everything by Nicola Yoon
which is also on your TBR shelf and I read it. I really liked it! Plus, the movie is coming out soon :) It is available on audio.

I really enjoy her books, just remember there are no cell phones..just phone booths. I enjoy stepping back to those days every now and then. Really though the books are timeless. I hope you enjoy!

And I thought I was weird for liking the first one. XD Funnily enough, I've had Wintersong on hold for like 2 months at my library. I have no idea why it's suddenly so popular here...

In any case, I pick The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, #1) by Douglas Adams (which I highly recommend listening to the audiobook for this one as the humor comes across better to me) and A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1) by Sarah J. Maas

My recommendation for your preferred genre is: Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel It was one of my first books of the year, and I still randomly think about how much I loved it. HIGHLY recommend.
