Two months down! We’re up past two hundred submissions, and we have some new
recommendations from our participants if you are running thin on ideas. Here are some of the
books that were submitted in the past month.
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling (Category: Young Adult)
Best book of the series! Well established tone and adds a ton of character development for some of my favorites.
- Christian
The Women by Kristin Hanna (Category: Historical Fiction)
This was an excellent book about a woman that joins the Army as
a nurse and is deployed to Vietnam. It gives a great view into the
women that served in Vietnam and what they went through both
there and when they returned back home.
- Nicole
Cassius Marcellus Clay by Anne Marshall (Category: Based on
Your Field of Study/Job)
Clay was arrogant, loud, and irritating yet dedicated decades of
his life to politics, antislavery causes, and the preservation of the
Union. Anne Marshall's book is filled with funny stories,
prominent historical crossovers, and a wonderful analysis of
Clay's complex relationship to slaveholding.
- Anna
The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes (Category:
Young Adult)
A very easy read that was pretty fun, all things considered! A
quintessential YA-type story with that very YA-esque love
triangle, so if that's not your thing, I'd avoid this entirely. But if
you want something a little silly and engaging, this might be it!
- Taylor
Spent by Alison Bechdel (Category: Graphic Novel)
I love Bechdel's graphic novels - especially her graphic memoirs.
Spent was beautifully drawn and funny - a perfect combination
that made me love this book!
