So last September, we went with a back-to-school theme, so that's where I'm kicking it off.
- Classics- Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, all the things we were supposed to read in high school
- Books from our Childhood- The Little House series, Judy Blume, Roald Dahl, etc.
- Twist on a Classic- Pride and Prejudice and Zombies
- The Hunger Games- because nothing says back-to-school like teens trying to kill each other
- Something non-fiction
One last thing that September makes me think of- the return of fall tv shows. We could go with a book that spawned a tv show or vis-versa. Think the Heat Series (Castle), The Vampire Diaries, Pretty Little Liars, Temperance Brennan (Bones), etc.
Let me know what you think about these suggestions and please leave your own!
Great ideas! I like Hunger Games, graphic novels, non-fiction (how about "Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother"), or The Vampire Diaries...actaully a YA paranormal romance could be fun. I saw some on Goodreads that seem interesting; The Darkest Night, Hush,Hush, Unearthly, Darkfever, City of Bones.
ReplyDeleteI really want something light...I have not been able to get into the Game of Thrones at all. I have tried several times and then forget what I read and have to start over. :( I may have to download season 1 and watch it just so I can join in on the conversation about it. Loved the vampire diaries and my daughter is wanting to read them too so that would be good for me
ReplyDeleteKyra, I totally agree with you; something light would be nice!
DeleteI agree, something light would be nice. Maybe one of the classics as Megan suggested first. I've only read a few so maybe you all can select something interesting. Nothing like Time Machine please! :)
ReplyDeleteHmmm...a light classic? How about To Kill a Mockingbird? I'll try to find somemore on Good Reads.
DeleteI've never read that one. I'll read anything though!
DeleteI haven't read it either, but I've seen the movie. It's really good.
DeleteHeat series, Vampire Diaries, or Johnny Tremain!
ReplyDeleteOk ladies, the one I keep seeing over and over is The Vampire Diaries. Is everyone ok with this or do we want to vote on some suggestions?
ReplyDeleteIt's fine with me.
