The Forgotten Garden and The Language of Flowers are both fantastic reads. Another young adult selection (if you liked The Fault in our Stars) is Eleanor & Park.

The Time Traveller's Wife is one of my all time favourite books and The Remains of the Day is on of the saddest you will ever read. The Kitchen House was awesome if terribly sad.

Our selection for next month is "The Girls of Atomic City: the Women Who Helped Win World War II." We stick to themes for our selections, and this coming month is nonfiction. It might have been chosen because we are based in east TN, which is where the story is set.<br />Love reading....it's the best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2464153217834971089.post-30109483715819509002014-01-16T18:48:55.030-08:002014-01-16T18:48:55.030-08:00These are my favorite posts!

It reminds me very much of The Hunger Games as well, but I think that it is mostly the dystopian setting, though they both have corruption when it comes to its leaders as well, and "Survival of the Fittest" mentality for some of the factions. It was a great read! I am currently reading The Book Thief and in love with it as well, though I'm sure I'll end up balling at some point, and then I will definitely want to see the movie!

I thought it would be too dry, but it filled in so many historical holes I had in regards to WWII. The Light Between Oceans is a quick read, but a little heartbreaking.
