Bout of Books – Day 7

I’ll do a final wrap up tomorrow, but I think I’m going to total out at 7 books started and a slightly different 6 finished.  So, that’s pretty much right between my realistic goal and my shoot for the stars goal.   I’m pretty pleased about that.  I’m also going to take part in the last challenge for this Bout of Books.  Snarky Bird, Uber Nerd has a great challenge for today.

If You Like ____, Then You’ll Enjoy _____.

I love this kind of thing!  I occasionally make little shelf talkers for work with this very set up so it’s a fantastic challenge for me.  I’m going to go a little crazy I’m afraid.

If you liked Gone Girl then you’ll really enjoy In the Woods by Tana French.

If you like Little House on the Prairie  and Harry Potter, you’ll enjoy The Thirteenth Child by Patricia Wrede.

Let’s say you like Harry Potter, but you’re more into a Regency ballroom ala Jane Austen than the frontier life of Laura Ingles Wilder.  That’s ok.  I’ve got a ton of things for that!  Mary Robinette Kowal’s Shades of Milk and Honey, Patricia Wrede & Caroline Stevermere’s

Sorcery & Cecelia, and Stephanie Burgis’s Kat, Incorrigible are all books you’d love!

If you like Nora Roberts and action movies, you’ll love Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer.

Hopefully, some of these will tickle your fancy.  Now, my progress report:
