Nose in a Book

ordinaryjanedoe asked

Hey.. my Fri's BD party is on this coming Saturday. I'd like grab a book for her but she's not so into cheesy love novels like i do. I don't know a lot of deep beautiful books that's worth to be a BD gift. Can you suggest any, please? :)

I’d recommend Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer, The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak and anything by John Green.

I was wondering if you had any book recommendations? I'm feeling a bit deprived.

Since you liked Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, I think you would like The History of Love by Nicole Krauss (Jonathan Safran Foer’s wife.) I would also recommend Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe.

Do you know any books good for a 11 year-old girl? She's read books like the Owls of Gahoole as well as a few "light fantasy" series, but doesn't want to read Harry Potter or anything similar to it. Just wondering. Also, for the Anon who asked about books with characters with Asperger's, I think Oskar from Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer had Asperger's. (Could've just been in the movie, and not the book.)

The site A Mighty Girl has a lot of recommendations for books for girls, and I don’t think I’d be able to do any better than that. I would definitely recommend Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine and The Mysterious Howling by Maryrose Wood. Although they aren’t light fantasy, some other good books are The Penderwicks by Jeanne Birdsall, The Invention of Hugo Cabret by Brian Selznick, Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech and From the Mixed Up Files Of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E.L. Konigsburg.
And thanks; I think you’re right about Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, although it’s never mentioned.

Which of Jonathan Safran Foer's books did you like better? I want so many books and can't decide which one of his I should get.

I liked Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close the best.

hi, could you recommend me some good books? :)

Sure! I would recommend If I Stay by Gayle Forman, The History of Love by Nicole Krauss, Paper Towns by John Green, A Thousand Splendid Suns by Khaled Hosseini, Stolen by Lucy Christopher, Where Things Come Back by John Corey Whaley, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close by Jonathan Safran Foer, I am the Messenger by Markus Zusak and Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys. Not sure if any of those will suit you, but hopefully someone of them will. Here’s my general recommendations page and my tagged recommendations (x).
