This was my first David Mitchell and i loved it!! Need to pick up his other books soon!😍

The movie was on tv several times when I was a kid. I still talk about it when scary things come up. It was SOOOOOO creepy.

I LOOOOVE I'll Give You The Sun. I recommended that the libraries I work in buy it.
Patricia wrote: "Trying to cut down on my to-read shelf so I’m reading Cutting for Stone. Bought at a library sale about 6 months ago for $1.75."Excellent book, although I think I started it 3 or 4 times before settling in.
I had just read and loved Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda and decided to read another book by Becky Albertalli. I finished The Upside of Unrequited last night and hadn't thought to use it for the challenge. It hit me the morning, though, that the main characters are twins and I hadn't yet picked out a book for this prompt. Yay!The book is okay but not as good as Simon. It did, however, bring back some painful memories of unrequited crushes in high school and how much wasted energy I spent worrying about having a boyfriend. Aw youth!
I really hope I don't come off as lame, but my book features identical twin sisters... If anyone wants to check give that one a try.In the Blood
For myself I'm going to read The Secret History of Las Vegas
I'm squeaking in Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan for this one. The twin characters are QUITE peripheral, but it still qualifies!
For those who like mysteries, I can recommend: * Twin Killing by Marshall Cook (book 3 in a series, but I know that won't matter to some people.
* Avery Aames has a cheese shop series with twin girls, first book is The Long Quiche Goodbye.
* Ellery Adams has a "book retreat" series with twin boys, first book is Murder in the Mystery Suite.
* There are two books in Kylie Logan's "League of Literary Ladies" series with twins: A Tale of Two Biddies and Gone with the Twins.
* Casey Daniels' "Southern Sewing Circle" series features older twins. The first book is Sew Deadly.
* The "Aunt Dimity" series by Nancy Atherton also features twin boys.
Being twins is not the main subject of the book, but Gone Girl has its main character interact a lot with his twin sister.
Keri Arthur's Full Moon Rising is the first in a paranormal fantasy/romance series, the main character of which is a twin. There's quite a bit of smutty goodness so don't bother if you're not a fan of sexytimes.
If anybody's into the Her Royal Spyness series by Rhys Bowen, Heirs and Graces has characters who are twins. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone new to the series, but it's an easy way to tick off the prompt if you're reading the series anyway.
I read White Teeth by Zadie Smith for this prompt. It's about two generations of families who are from England, Bangladesh, and Jamaica and how their lives are affected by immigration, identity, faith, and science - all about their roots. It's a good one to read sort of slowly and its broken up into four parts with primarily the last being about the twin boys, but they are intertwined throughout the novel.

I also read White Teeth for this prompt. Fair warning for others, it is a bit slow paced.

And so terribly funny! I do recommend it.

White Teeth is slow paced, which it wasn't the page numbers that made me take forever with it! There are definitely sprinkles of some wit throughout that keep it from being too heavy. I recommend if you don't mind taking your time!
Going with Zero Repeat Forever by Gabrielle Prendergast for this challenge. The main character's boyfriend has a twin brother according to a review I read.
I'm reading Time of the Twins for this prompt but any of the Dragonlance novel's main series would work as they have two main characters that are twins.
Just read The Girls by Lori Lansens, on recommendation by the little bookstore owner near us. Fiction, written as the autobiography of twins conjoined at the head. I found it quite engaging.
