Me too! They're all vastly different from each other, so I think we'll have fun and have some great discussions.

Bookish Women Recommendations

Robert and Lynette Carlson recommend Princess Academy by Shannon Hale. It was a sweet coming of age story. It had a surprising plot twist! We both enjoyed it.
Susannah Warr recommends A Girl Named Zippy: Growing Up Small in Mooreland Indiana by Haven Kimmel. The author recounts her experiences growing up as she viewed them as a child. Several stories made me laugh out loud. It was so fun to read!
April Strawn recommends Into Thin Air by Jon Krakauer. Like Into the Wild, this book documents (albeit, probably exaggerates) a treacherous climb of Mount Everest. Inspired me to go on my own mountain climbing trip.
Susannah Warr recommends Skeletons on the Zahara by Dean King. It is a true story which takes place in 1815. Captain James Riley and the crew of the Commerce get shipwrecked off the coast of Africa. They are captured by nomads and made slaves in the Sahara desert. It is an incredible story of hardship and survival.
Katie Langston recommends The House on Mango Street. A gorgeously-written book by Sandra Cisneros describes the coming-of-age of a teenage girl in an inner city Chicago neighborhood.
