Monday Recommendations



Monday Recommendation List

Random list of 10 books Monday! I have read and enjoyed each of these enough to flag for a potential personal library purchase.

Be bold and just choose randomly, stick to your normal genre...or step outside of your normal
reading zone and try something you usually wouldn’t. You can look up the descriptions at Amazon.com, or search my blog for old posts by entering the title in the little search box in the top left-hand corner and clicking the magnifying glass.

Underdogs

Underdogs by Markus Zusak

I loved “The Book Thief.”  So I found myself at the beginning of Zusak’s biblio. This is a three book collection of his first works. It contains The Underdog, Fighting Reuben Wolfe, and Getting the Girl.

You can see Zusak's immense talent growing within these stories. These are light, character and relationship focused tales. I enjoyed!
