marissajane’s comments from the Rather be Reading group.

I just read All the Light we Cannot See a few months back and really enjoyed it! For historical fiction I would also recommend The Nightingale, as it is truly a breathtaking story :)

Ahhh I'm so happy you like it, I didn't think I was bug on fantasy either till I picked up some fantasy books a few months back and loved them :) I hope you enjoy this book as well.

So happy that you're enjoying it! It definitely is different, but I personally like it so far.

I've been interested in picking up Again, but Better. Let us know how you liked it :)

We should totally add loveless!

I think that soon I'll also put out a poll for everyone who wants to recommend a botm for the group, hopefully for September.

Thanks for the awesome suggestions! I actually own a copy of Every Last word that I haven't picked up yet, but will soon :)

Wow thanks for the suggestions! I've been really wanting to read an f. scott fitzgerald novel for a while now, so its nice to know that you've enjoyed one of his novels!

Thanks so much for the suggestions! Thats the second time today that I've heard about Young Boy Lost, so I'll be sure to check it out!

Its always fun to read books by authors that are new to you :)

I need to read that book! I've heard about it forever but still haven't picked it up. I hope you're enjoying it :)

I can never get enough of sweet and deep books. Thanks for the suggestions :)

Totally agree, thanks for the feedback!

Pritha wrote: "let's plan and read together...gonna be fun !!!"

That'll be so much fun! I was thinking maybe we could do a group BOTM if everyone is interested, and hold a conversation about it towards the end of the month. I was thinking maybe September would be nice, if not we can always reschedule. Let me know what you think so I can plan these things better :)
