More, more, more
22 March 2016 
Every Tuesday over at the The Broke and Bookish we all get to look at a particular topic for discussion and use various (or more to the point ten) examples to demonstrate that particular topic. The topic this week is:
‘Ten Books I Really Love But Feel Like I Haven’t Talked About Enough’
- The Troupe by Robert J Bennett
- The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman
- The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt
- The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland by Catherynne Valente
- The Shining Girls by Lauren Beukes
- Flowers for Algernon by Daniel Keyes
- All the Truth that’s in me by Julie Berry
- The Serpent of Venice by Christopher Moore
- The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd
- The Fifth House of the Heart by Ben Tripp
Books and travelling with Lynn 
Oooh! Interesting books! I once have a copy of The Sisters Brothers. I think I should read it!
And the Shining Girls look great!
I really recommend both of those. Great books.
Lynn 😀
I will try to read some. 🙂
Oooh The Sisters Brothers! One of my all time faves. And The Fifth House of the Heart is a favorite as well. I need to check out The Troupe!
The Troupe was my first Bennett book and I loved it – it was so unusual.
Lynn 😀
Both “The Shining Girls” and “The Fifth House of the Heart” were wonderful revelations: since the other books in your list are liable to be in the same category, I will certainly check them out! 🙂
I heartily recommend all of these. I thoroughly enjoyed them all and it was great putting this list together and going back through some of my older reads.
Lynn 😀
I really need to read Catherynne Valente’s fairyland books!
Oh yes, I think they’re such beautiful books
Lynn 😀
Flowers for Algernon was so lovely! I loved it.
And so sad too. A really good read.
Lynn 😀
I need to read more Sue Monk Kidd – My TTT
I’ve also read the Secret Life of Bees which is also really good.
Lynn 😀
I’ve been meaning to get to The Shining Girls and The Sisters Brothers!
I hope you find time for them – they’re both really excellent. The Sisters Brothers was probably my biggest surprise as it’s a western and I just didn’t expect to like it.
Lynn 😀
It’s on my shelf and I’m not into westerns either. I’ll have to bump it up! Thanks, Lynn!
I thought it was great. Totally not what I expected.
Lynn 😀
I’m actually shocked that Fifth House of the Heart isn’t getting more love. It’s so good! But on goodreads, there aren’t a lot of ratings or reviews. More people need to check out this book!
I know – what’s the story there! I bloody loved it.
Lynn 😀
Oh, good picks! The Girl Who Circumnavigated Fairyland stole my heart when I wasn’t looking and ran off down the street with it laughing heartlessly. I haven’t picked up the sequels yet; I feel like I’m saving them up.
Haha – too funny Lynn 😀
Ah, so many wonderful books. It’s funny that we had Flowers of Algernon in common. It’s definitely underrated for such a powerful book. Ah, Neil Gaiman! I may just be the only reader that hasn’t read any of his books yet. Thanks for including The Graveyard Book; that totally reminds me that I should read that soon!
Yes, out of all the books we could have chosen. It’s a great book. The Graveyard Book is one of those books that I really put off reading for ages and it just took me by storm. I’d almost made up my mind that it wouldn’t be for me but I couldn’t resist – I loved it.
Lynn 😀
