I hope you end up enjoying it! It's a long one, but (I think) worth it. tinyperson on "Do you have a book recommendation?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-book-recommendation#post-1712423 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 11:58:56 +0000 tinyperson 1712423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Kate Morton: The House at Riverton The Forgotten Garden The Distant Hours The Secret Keeper They're sort of family secret stories (someone in the present finds out something about the family's past).

He really is one of my favorites. @meredithNYC: I've heard mixed reviews about Goldfinch but I'll add it to my Goodreads! I'm glad you liked it!

It's a mystery series. The first one is called the chocolate chip cookie murder. They are fun easy reads plus she puts all kinds of cookie/dessert recipes in it. winniebee on "Do you have a book recommendation?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-book-recommendation#post-1711419 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 21:46:24 +0000 winniebee 1711419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Good suggestions here! I just started Divergent to see what all the hype is about.

I hear great things, but keep seeing the mixed reviews!

I don't know why I'm so excited hearing you say that haha! You met him?? I'd love to meet him, his back story is fascinating because he was a doctor turned writer! I follow him on Goodreads and always get a kick out of seeing what books he reads and what he rates them. The Namesake and all of Khaled Hosseini's books are also on my all-time favorite book list!

I have a sister with schizophrenia so I was drawn to that section most.

I met Khaled Hosseini once at a book conference and got signed copies of the Kiterunner and a Thousand Splendid Suns. And the Namesake with Gogol-- one of my favorite books of all time. meredithNYC on "Do you have a book recommendation?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-book-recommendation#post-1710866 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 19:07:53 +0000 meredithNYC 1710866@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Anagram: I love "Far From the Tree"! I always recommend it to friends, but when I describe it they're like, eh, that sounds really depressing. Which, it is... and it isn't, you know? I thought it was great. I also recently read "The Goldfinch" and loved it. Vanity Fair has a great article in this month's issue about it being the big book of the year and how the higher-brow publications have given it mediocre reviews in spite of its general critical success. Book nerd alert!

She's such a beautiful writer, but the book is sad and has a melancholy vibe. Really loved And the Mountains Echoed too! @namaste: namaste on "Do you have a book recommendation?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-book-recommendation#post-1710774 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 18:45:01 +0000 namaste 1710774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ These have been my favorites thus far this year: And The Mountains Echoed - Khaled Hosseini Sharp Objects - Gillian Flynn This is Where I Leave You - Jonathan Trooper (also coming to film this fall!) China Dolls - Lisa See (But I love Lisa's work so I'm biased) lamariniere on "Do you have a book recommendation?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-book-recommendation#post-1710108 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 14:25:41 +0000 lamariniere 1710108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ One of my favorite books is Kafka on the Shore by Murakami, it's a long read, but totally gripping!

It was talked about before here on HB-- it's a big book but really interesting so far. I also recently read "When I First Held You: 22 Critically Acclaimed Writers Talk About the Triumphs, Challenges, and Transformative Experience of Fatherhood"/ I bought it for DH for father's day and then read it myself. I love short story anthologies and Dennis Lehane and he wrote one of the pieces. Really good and quick read. travelingnanny on "Do you have a book recommendation?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-book-recommendation#post-1709755 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:48:30 +0000 travelingnanny 1709755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @wonderstruck- Adult. wonderstruck on "Do you have a book recommendation?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-have-a-book-recommendation#post-1709735 Thu, 19 Jun 2014 12:42:11 +0000 wonderstruck 1709735@https://boards.hellobee.com/ For what ages?
