The Reading List, by Sara Nisha Adams. 4.5 stars

[NancyJ]

This is a wonderful book for book lovers. I loved the discussions between the characters about the books on the list. The author did a wonderful job of creating real life scenarios that could be related to insights gained from the books. Some were very painful. Many books about books are relatively light and fluffy, but this one has more depth. It shows how books can contribute to healing.

Trigger warning: (view spoiler)[suicide of a family member. (hide spoiler)]

In a rush…
I’ll probably add more later

I loved this book. It made my top 10 reads the year I read it.

So many great discussions about books.

Another along a similar vein is After Story.

(view spoiler)[It was shocking and incredibly sad. I know some people marked it down because of that. I think it shows that we don't always see the signs. (hide spoiler)]

I imagine that there will be lots to discuss in a book group. Let me know how that goes.

My review HERE"

Your link took me to Between Shades of Gray which was also a miss for you.

Thanks, Fran ... I think I posted in the wrong group. I DID mean to post for Between Shades of Gray. I'll delete and repost in the right thread.
