Rules:

1. Limit 2 per customer
2. Limit 15 total

4. You must list a link to the book's page on either Amazon or Goodreads! This is to weed out troll recs and prove that the book a) actually exits and b) is at least reasonable accessible. I will not include books that are $125 a copy, have 12 copies in the entire world, or aren't actually books.

List of books we've read so far:

August: His Majesty's Dragon by Naomi Novik
September: Graceling by Kristen Cashore
October: Dracula by Bram Stoker
November: Watership Down by Richard Adams
January: Practical Demonkeeping by Christopher Moore
February: It Can’t Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis
March: The Iron Heel by Jack London
April: Night Watch by Terry Pratchett

June (current book): Joust by Mercedes Lackey

List of recs we have so far:

Silent Spring by Rachel Carson
Ring of Bright Water by Gavin Maxwell
The Passenger by Lisa Lutz
Idyll Threats, by Stephanie Gayle
Strong Poison by Dorothy Sayers*
Vamped by David Sosnowski
House of Leaves by Mark Danielewski
Zeus Grants Stupid Wishes: a No-Bullshit Guide to World Mythology by Cory O'Brien
The Fifth Season, by NK Jemisin
Call Me by Your Name by André Aciman

*anon, can I please have a link to Amazon, Goodreads, or another site that confirms this book's availability? Thank you!

Recs will stay open either a) until Friday or b) until we have 15 recs, whichever comes first.

Here's a quick Amazon link for the Sayers (there's also a free digital version somewhere but I'm too lazy to track it down right now):

https://www.amazon.com/Strong-Poison-Dorothy-L-Sayers/dp/0062196200/

BUT ALSO I wanted to get peoples' opinions (if anyone cares) on whether it would be better to do Strong Poison or Gaudy Night by Sayers. I went with Strong Poison cause it's earlier in the series, but I can see really good reasons for doing Gaudy Night as well. Does anyone have any feelings about this? Please reply. They're equally available to read, so no worries there.

I'd say probably the first one as an introduction to the character.

Thanks anon!

And you are allowed to rec both if you wish, as long as you haven't recced any other books. (I can't give an opinion of one over the other since I have not read either.)

Kiss Your Dentist Goodbye: A Do-It-Yourself Mouth Care System for Healthy, Clean Gums and Teeth - Ellie Phillips

https://www.amazon.com/Kiss-Your-Dentist-Goodbye-Yourself/dp/1929774672

[diet_poison]

That is not a novel.

[(Anonymous)]

Sounds like fiction to me. ;)

[(Anonymous)]

I'm seeing the No-Bullshit Guide or Ring of Bright Water standing out as nicely different candidates for me. Maybe more Ring of Bright Water, since it is further away from the fantasy thing. Ring of Bright Water is a movie too, so we can discuss differences to that maybe too.

[(Anonymous)]

I guess with something like the No-Bullshit Guide, my main concern would be, what do you really go and talk about

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sure DP would be able to come up with some talking points.

[diet_poison]

It's a collection of retold myths, right? It's still stories, even if it's reinterpretations of classic ones.

Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hitchhiker%27s_Guide_to_the_Galaxy_(novel)

The Crystal Cave by Mary Stewart- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crystal_Cave

[(Anonymous)]

Weren't both of those voted down like twice in a row? How long you going to keep pimping them? Move on, girl.

[philstar22]

At least Hitchhiker's has gotten votes, so maybe people will want to read it this time? There's no rule listed about nominating ones already nominated before as far as I can see.

[diet_poison]

(can you post a Goodreads or Amazon link?)

[(Anonymous)]

No, she can't. Neither of those books exist. Oh well, too bad. Can't go on the poll, how terrible.
