From the 2018 List, the following recommendations got lost in the shuffle...
Recommended by Chris, I someone meant to add this one to the list, but it didn't make it. "How bout Matterhorn by Karl Marlantes. A gripping historical novel about Vietnam. Highly recommended." Kim recommended Knocking On Heaven's Door, but this also got lost in the shuffle. *** Me: I noticed I actually had two hidden number 3's so I had to renumber everything. Exit West was the other one that got buried. In the process of doing that, I discovered there were books I said made the list when they were posted, but actually didn't get on there for some reason. So, below is an updated list! 1. Sister Outsider (Rhonda) 23* 2. Whipping Girl (Lisa) 21 3. Trauma & Memory (Renee) 11 4. The Magicians (Quinn) 20 5. Big Little Lies (Amanda) 1* 6. The God of Small Things (Shasta) 7. The Rules of Magic (Theresa) 17* 8. A Street Cat Named Bob (Kat) 7 9. Small Gods (Judah) 12 10. Fall On Your Knees (Nadine) 11. Cloud Atlas (Raul) 12.

Morrigan's Cross (Tashia) 19. Exit West (Gretchen) 4 20. Origin (Stephanie) 21. The Girl Who Drank The Moon (Andrea) 22. Homegoing (Sybil) 2 23. Beneath the Scarlet Sky (Beth) 24. Last Call (Lisa) 25. The Tour (Erin) 13* 26. The Dress Lodger (Jodi) 27. Little Fires Everywhere (Beth) 22* 28. Beyond Belief (Shelby) 16* 29. Straight Man (Natalie) 26 30. When I’m Gone (Palmer) 10 31. Neverwhere (Leah) 32. Stiff (Kelly) 19 33. The Antelope Wife (Nora) 34. Call the Midwife (Becca) 26* 35. The Black Dahlia (Katrina) 36. The School of Essential Ingredients (Karey) 6 37. Breaking The Habit of Being Yourself (Jennifer) 38. The Language of Emotion (Wendy) 14 39. Crossing to Safety (Lisa) 40. Angle of Repose (Tiffany) 41. Lust for Life (Michele) 24 42. Sapiens (Bruce) 43. Altered Carbon (Gabriel) 18* 44. The Painted Girls (Lora) 24 45. Promise Me Dad (Julie) 9* 46. The Return of the Native (Sandra) 47. Wild Seed (Christina) 48. The Girls from Corona Del Mar (Katie) 8* 49. The Black Echo (Mina) 50. The Girl from Atomic City (Wendy) These are ones I said I was adding even though I was over my 50: 51. A Mother’s Reckoning. (Lucy) 5 52. Fire & Fury (Amy) 3 53. Matterhorn (Chris) 54. Touch (John) 55. A Study in Scarlett (Mina) 56. Sweet Grass Talking (Renee) 57. The Life She Was Given (Tanya) These are ones recommended after I had already closed the list: 58. No Name on The Street (Leonora) 59. Knocking on Heaven's Door (Kim) 60. The Medical Medium (Lisa) 61. Breakfast with Buddha (Mary) 62. A Fighting Chance (Dodie) 63. Before We Were Yours (Melissa) 64. The Care and Handling of Roses with Thorns (Heather) 65. The Signature of All Things (Leah) 66. The Long Earth (Michele) 67. Living Forward (Eric) 68. In Vino Duplicates(Dan) 69. Shanghai Girls (Kathy) 70. The Maddadadm (David) Christian: Objection! My recommendation made the original list at 14 (see your previous posts) but somehow I have been bumped to the later list. Me: Overruled. Me, later: I have reversed my previously ruling and put this back on the list because I discovered one of the remaining ones is a duplicate author. *** Michele: oh if there’s a waiting list i’ll also suggest Shantaram if u havent read it yet Me: You already have The Long Earth on the wait list and you already want to add a second one? Michele: .... there are really so few books that i have read and you have not .. Me: what are you reading now? Michele: uhhhh re-reading the deborah harkness trilogy 😍 Me: I love that series! *** |
