I had a lovely discussion about, surprise, books over lunch yesterday.  I was sitting in my work cafeteria, discussing the movie version of Gone Girl.  Personally, I feel the translation into film was well done.  I find it hard to watch movie versions of books I've loved, as I'm sure a lot of people do. You either love it or are left disappointed and bitter.

So, we were talking about recent books we've read and what we would recommend to someone else. I found myself thinking about how I would definitely tell my co-worker to read some books, but not my Mother.  Know thy audience!!  This is not to say my Mother wouldn't like the books, I just don't want to think about her reading them.  Think 50 Shades of Gray.  Get my point?

Books I would tell everyone, and have told everyone, to read?  Here goes...

Out of the Easy
The Scent of Rain and Lightening
The Storied Life of A.J Fikry
Where'd You Go Bernadette
The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie

And soooo many more.  These are the ones that popped into my head at lunch yesterday, so that must mean I consider them must reads.
