1. The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern – This would be great for anyone but I think I would give it to my friend Mecaila who loves the idea of running away with the circus as much as I do.
2. Succubus Blues by Richelle Mead – Yes, this book/series pops up on a lot of my lists. That’s because it is awesome and I love it and want everyone to read it. Not sure who I would give this to. Maybe the friend who doesn’t like paranormal stories. I think this could convert them.
3. Matched by Allie Condie – I am getting this for my 13-year-old niece. She’s just reading the Hunger Games now and I think she’ll really like this.
4. Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins – I was totally charmed by this book and highly recommend it. I have bought it for my friend L and convinced my other friend to get it for her best friend. My plot to have everyone read it is working! Muahahahaha!
5. Moon Called by Patricia Briggs – I’d get this for my friend Kimberly because she hasn’t read the series yet.
6. The Lost City of Z by David Grann – This book was fascinating and terrifying at the same time. About a famous explorer on his last trip into the Amazon where he was never seen again. Flesh eating insects, harsh weather and hostile natives are only a few of the obstacles they encountered. Grann tries to unfold the mystery of what happened on the mission. I think my brother would enjoy this one.
7. Fables #1 by Bill Willingham & Mark Buckingham – Love this comic book series. Anyone who loves fairy tales should read this. I’d get this for my friend Carrie who is currently obsessed with Once Upon A Time.
