I'll Tumble for YA: Top Ten Tuesday (#78) (01/27/15) Ten Books I'd Love to Read If I Had A Book Club

1/27/2015

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

Ten Books I'd Love to Read If I Had A Book Club

I don't belong to a book club. I tried a YA club for adults, but almost everyone was much younger than me, so I felt awkward. One of these days I will try going again, but I'm not sure. If I were to start one myself, this is what I would love to read, and I might one day.

Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz

A few years ago this book was the buzz of the ALA annual awards. I think there would be a ton to talk about with this book.

Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys

Apparently this is a multi-tissue read. I'm sure that there is a lot to discuss with this one.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/8563789-where-things-come-back?from_search=true

Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley

The only book to ever win both the Printz and Morris award. It has been on my TBR pile from the moment the awards were announced.

Sex & Violence by Carrie Mesrobian

I've bee wanting to read this one for a while. It seems like it would be incredibly thought provoking, and could lead to an interesting conversation.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/49750.An_Abundance_of_Katherines?from_search=true

An Abundance of Katherines by John Green

You can sub out pretty much any other John Green book for this one, and I'm sure it would make an excellent book for a book club.

Everybody Sees the Ants by A.S. King

I have a confession, I've never read anything by A.S. King before. I have heard nothing but amazing things about her books. I picked this one, but I'm sure that others can sub out and lead to an awesome discussion.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/9279177-the-lover-s-dictionary?from_search=true

The Lover's Dictionary by David Levithan

I've loved everything that I've read by David Levithan, and books that are listed as Alex Award winners have always been fascinating to me. A discussion about the format alone might lead to an excellent book club meeting.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/7095831-ship-breaker?from_search=true

Ship Breaker (Ship Breaker #1) by Paolo Bacigalupi

This is supposed to be a pretty great dystopian novel. I have heard nothing but good things about it from people I trust.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/15984268-the-universe-versus-alex-woods?from_search=true

The Universe Versus Alex Woods by Gavin Extence

Another Alex award winner. I have heard nothing but good things about this one, and I think there would be a lot to discuss about this one.

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18079527-the-impossible-knife-of-memory?from_search=true

The Impossible Knife of Memory by Laurie Halse Anderson

Another author that you can pretty much sub out any of their books and have an awesome discussion. I picked this one because it's one of the few of hers I haven't read (yet).

I actually haven't read any of these except for Everyone Sees the Ants, but I want to read them all. If you want to read A.S. King, I recommend starting with Please Ignore Vera Dietz. I'm actually going to have a giveaway soon for a few of her books (signed). She's a friend of mine. I need to do that soon! Great list, BTW. I'd join your book club.

Laurie Anderson's book would be perfect for a book club! :)

Ps. I have a blog as well, written both in English and Italian. I'd love if you stopped by :) -> http://frannieinthepages.blogspot.com/
