B4: Ask a friend or family member for one book that was unexpectedly amazing and/or changed their behaviour

[❀ Susan]

any ideas on this one? I seem to think someone here might have said that Sea of Tranquility was amazing???

[Wanda]

I like the book, I'm not sure if I could call it amazing? But a must read for her fans, I like her stories!

[❀ Susan]

any suggestions for this square???

[Wanda]

Who Moved My Cheese Spencer Johnson, changed my behavior many moons ago and still holds true to date. I'm re reading it right now, a short but meaningful read.

[Wanda]

Alas it is not Canadian read...

[Susan]

I don't know if it changed my behaviour, but Tomboy Survival Guide enriched my understanding of the challenges trans and nonbinary people face.

Off the top of my head, other Canadian titles that I thought were amazing:
The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary: A True Story of Resilience and Recovery
Fauna
Our Homesick Songs

[Susan]

I would also like some Canadian suggestions for this square! :-)

Talking to Strangers by Malcolm Gladwell - this book certainly gave me pause.

Thanks Wanda and Susan - I agree and have read all the books suggested except for the Tomboy Survival Guide which sounds like great learning.

@AllisonHikes - I won a giveaway of Talking to Strangers (ages ago) and have not read it yet for some reason but loved most of his other books!!

I might suggest Greenwood

[Susan]

I have Greenwood sitting on my Kindle. Thanks for the nudge, Susan.

[❀ Susan]

It is so good!!! I hope you love it!

[Wanda]

I really enjoyed Talking to Strangers, good choice!

[Allison]

I am late to this conversation, but would give two big fist pumps for Tomboy Survival Guide!! LOVED that book and it definitely opened my mind and the whole world, really. Strongly recommend it.

Sorry, late to this post. I’d like to add Pema Chodron’s Welcoming the Unwelcome. Malcolm Gladwell’s Talking to Strangers is on my list to read as well. In this square, I had one my mother recommended to me The Body Keeps the Score.

In this square, I just finished one my daughter and grandson recommended to me - A Royal Guide to Monster Slaying by Kelley Armstrong.
