Ti from Book Chatter and Other Stuff tagged me for a fun meme
Here are the rules: I am going to list three categories of books. 3 MUST Read Books, 3 Keep Your Eyes on These, and 3 Look For These Soon. Keeping with the theme, I am going to tag at least 3 bloggers. They should put these same lists on their blog but SUBTRACT one book from each list and ADD one of their own. Then they should tag at least 3 more bloggers. It will be fun to see how the lists change as they go around the blogosphere. Please come back to this post and leave a comment so I can see how the lists are changing.
Since this is Book Buzz…please keep your lists to titles released in 2007-2009.
So, here goes…[asterisks are next to my additions]
3 MUST Read Books:
Mister Pip by Lloyd Jones
Black Swan Green, by David Mitchell
*The Lace Reader, by Brunonia Barry
3 Keep Your Eyes on These:
Out Stealing Horses by Per Petterson
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Mary Ann Shaffer
*The Keepsake, by Tess Gerritsen
3 Look For These Soon:
The Prudent Mariner, by Leslie Walker Williams
When Will There Be Good News? by Kate Atkinson
*The Fire by Katherine Neville

I have Mr. Pip and really want to get to it one day soon. I’m going to say this quietly but I tried reading The Guernsey Potato Pie book and just couldn’t get into it. I’ll be curious to see what you think of it.
Dar,
I’m with you…I have GPP but couldn’t get into it. I won’t give up, though. I just need to wait to get into the right groove!
Thank God I wasn’t the only one. I’ll probably try again one day too.
I loved The Lace Reader too. Do try Mister Pip is you haven’t read it. My book group described it as odd, yet charming. I really enjoyed it.

3 Keep Your Eyes on These:

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Mary Ann Shaffer
