"It" Book Failure

"It" books are a publishing house's dream! A book you can't keep on the shelves, and that everyone has heard of-we are talking about readers and non-readers. Everyone knows the "it" book of the moment. What happens when the "it' book of the moment is a huge flop for you? I, for one, become embarrassed to admit to anyone that I didn't like it? Will everyone question my sanity, and wonder what is wrong with me? Why would I give some fluffy Women's Fiction novel 5 stars on Goodreads, but the "it" book  just passes with a meh? You know what? It's okay. We don't all love the same books and that is all right! I'm going to share some "it" books that didn't cut it for me, and some that really hit the target!

"It" Books that hit the target

"It" books that missed the Target

One word-Nope.

If You Read This...Then Read This: Books That'll Make You Cry

If you're like me, you find it incredibly difficult to follow up a great read with another equally appealing and enticing book. The disappointment that comes from successive books that just don't hit the mark can leave you feeling hopeless. I never shop at Target without walking past the book section to see what new friends have arrived. And by friends, I mean books. One of the best ways for books to sell is to see a book that you loved with an arrow pointing to your next read. If you loved this, then you are certain to love this book! I am pulling together some of my "If you loved this, then you'll love that" suggestions for you. Just like the Target book section, but without the cool pop-up sign.

If You Read This...                                                              Then Read This!
Cutting for Stone by Abraham Verghese                   A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara

                                                                    

If I Stay by Gayle Forman                                              Me Before You by Jojo Moyes

                                                               

Still Alice by Lisa Genova                                          Inside the O'Briens by Lisa Genova

                                       

As the school draws to a close, curl up with a good book that'll have you doing the ugly cry in the comfort of your own home. I hope you have a wonderful week. Be sure to mark these books into your TBR list!

Happy Reading!
