CPL's Book a Week Challenge discussion

Tell us what your favorite book of 2019 has been so far!

I'm at a tie - A Curse So Dark and Lonely and The Gilded Wolves. I love a good Beauty and the Beast retelling and Curse was such a unique one. I am also a big fan of squad books and Gilded Wolves did not disappoint; I will not admit to crying at the end of it.

One favorite? I've got 3, each very different: Just Once by Lori Handeland, Becoming by Michelle Obama, and Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. A book to make you feel, to make you think, and to make you laugh.

Weirdly enough, two of my favorites have been graphic novel retellings of classic novels: To Kill a Mockingbird and Handmaid's Tale!

I think so far my favorites are both Harlan Coben books, Run Away and the Stranger.

I've finally gotten around to actually reading The Lord of the Rings (not sure how I put it off for this long!). So, the first two books in the trilogy (on the third right now) would be my favorite.

Fiction: where the crawdads sing
Nonfiction: maybe you should talk to someone

..so far! It will keep getting harder to choose a real favorite for 2019!

I can’t put down Ani Difranco’s newly released memoir, No Walls and the Recurring Dream.

I'd have to say it's a tie between Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey and Robert Galbraith's The Cuckoo's Nest. I always have a hard time picking a favorite.

So far my favorite book of 2019 is Children of Blood and Bone by Tomi Adeyemi.
