New Year New Books
January 14, 2016
With the new year comes a new reading list. Since I have a tendency to stick to the older classics I made an effort to read more contemporary works last year and this year I intend to continue that. In addition, I’m adding more self-love, self-discovery, and travel texts to my reading list.
- Bard by Morgan Llywelyn
- The Color Purple by Alice Walker
- Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell
- Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
- Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
- Animal House by George Orwell
- Galapagos by Kurt Vonnegut
- Oil! by Upton Sinclair
- On the Road by Jack Kerouac
- All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
- Walden by Henry David Thoreau
- Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? by Mindy Kaling
- Pride of Lions by Morgan Llywelyn
- Tess of the d’Ubervilles by Thomas Hardy
- I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou
- My Salinger Year by Joanna Rakoff
- Out of Africa by Isak Dinesen
- The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin
- Turn Right at Machu Picchu by Mark Adams
Some of these look like really good reads! And I’ve never heard of most of them, so that’s a plus! I’ve been wanting to read All the Light We Cannot See.
A lot of these have been on my to-read list for a while and some of them were recommended to me recently so I’m very excited!
I was recommended this website by my cousin. I’m not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my trouble. You’re amazing! Thanks!
Wow, marvelous blog layout! How long have you been blogging for? you made blogging look easy. The overall look of your site is excellent, as well as the content!
I’m truly enjoying the design and layout of your blog. It’s a very easy on the eyes which makes it much more pleasant for me to come here and visit more often. Did you hire out a developer to create your theme? Excellent work!
Nice list Tara! My Salinger Year sounds interesting. Must admit I only really read the “Eat” part of Eat, Pray, Love… the rest was a bit much for me. But that is the joy of reading… we all have our favourites!
That’s a great list, thanks for the inspiration! “The Color Purple” is on my 2016 reading list as well, as well as “All The Light We Cannot See”. I really liked “Madame Bovary” (it’s a must!) and “Eat, Pray, Love”, hope you enjoy them too! Best wishes from Brussels today!
Hello! I simply want to give a huge thumbs up for the great info you’ve got right here on this post. I might be coming again to your blog for extra soon.
Great blog! Do you have any tips for aspiring writers? I’m planning to start my own website soon but I’m a little lost on everything. Would you advise starting with a free platform like WordPress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I’m completely confused .. Any suggestions? Kudos!
very good post, i actually love this web site, carry on it
At this time it sounds like BlogEngine is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you’re using on your blog?
I’m still learning from you, but I’m trying to achieve my goals. I certainly liked reading all that is written on your website.Keep the posts coming. I enjoyed it!
You could definitely see your enthusiasm in the work you write. The world hopes for even more passionate writers like you who aren’t afraid to say how they believe. Always go after your heart.
