The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of Parajunkee’s View and Alison of Alison Can Read . Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs! I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Along with Amanda of The Darling Bookworm . This week’s Question: How many books have you got on your TBR list? I recently had a bit of a cull of my TBR list so now it is sitting at 269. I'm trying my hardest to get it below 200 by the end of the year but I really don't see it happening. I'd currently be happy if I managed to get it below 225. However, I did recently have a look through my TBR on Goodreads and deleted a few books that I don't think I will actually ever read - I'm not even to sure how they got there anyway. Follow me via Goodreads , Facebook , Bloglovin and Pinterest and also via email to myexpandingbookshelf@gmail.com. Feel fre...
Hard to know which books a reluctant reader would choose. It's hit or miss. You chose well for her.
ReplyDeleteIt really is! I just try to find books very similar to what she's read or shows she likes.
DeleteMidnight library was great…but I couldn’t read Me Before You. Too sad.

I absolutely loved The Midnight Library. One of my favourites of the year.
DeleteA great list!

I love that you based your list on a read person who doesn't like to read. I loved The Midnight Library so much.
ReplyDeleteI just find it so hard to recommend books to reluctant readers so I just went for the easy option haha! The Midnight Library was fantastic!
DeleteI'm with Wendy—I think it's cool that you used books that have actually worked for a reluctant reader. It's a lot easier to know what someone might like when you know them well.
ReplyDeleteHappy TTT!

I found it so much easy to base it off my sister-in-law this week. I'm never sure what to recommend to people when they don't read.
DeleteI've read Me Before You and The Midnight Library, sounds like I have to read the others too. Happy reading!

The Midnight Library is fantastic! The others aren't quite my taste, but as long as they get people reading that's the main thing!
DeleteIt's much easier when you have someone to base it off! Most of my friends are big readers, and the one who isn't, the only books I successfully recommended to her were the Harry Potter books, which she did enjoy, but I don't want to push her boundaries and offer recommendations where they're not wanted. My mum's not a big reader either, but she's never really shown much interest in wanting recommendations, so again, I don't push it!

I agree! Unfortunately, I don't really have any reader friends. Even my family doesn't really read too much.
