Hi Bookworms! We've received some very exciting recommendations this May for our bookworm meeting. Here is the list of books you guys recommended, along with a few sentences on what that book is about. Once again, we have the poll up on our website and you're allowed to choose more than one book if you cannot pick a favourite. (Yes, they all sound so spectacular!) Voting starts today and ends on May 3rd, Saturday night at 11 pm.
Heaven Can Wait by Cally Taylor: Lucy is a ghost stuck in limbo, but as it turns out, limbo is a grotty student-style house in North London. She has 21 days to help her geeky friend find a girlfriend, or she'll never be with her fiance, Dan, again.
The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion: A lonely genetics professor sets out to look for love when he meets Rosie, who is looking for a DNA expert to help her find her biological father.
The Swan Gondola by Timothy Schaffert: Romance at the 1898 Omaha World Fair between a ventriloquist and an actress at the Midway's Chamber of Horrors.
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls: A memoir of the Walls children as they struggle through life with an alcoholic father and a mother who doesn't want a family.
Cinder by Marissa Meyer; Cyborg Cinderella in a dystopian setting.
Watership Down by Richard Adams: Story of a band of rabbits fighting against the intrusion of man and the destruction of their home.
Next week, we will have another poll up for you to vote on when our meeting shall be!
Talk to you soon!
