Week 3: The Readers’ Services Conversation

Conversation #1

Since you loved the book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, I suggest you try reading Three Weeks with my Brother.  This book has a reflective tone that deals with two brother’s grief about the deaths of their parents and sister while traveling around the world.  Another suggestion would be Hold me tight and tango me home by Maria Finn.  This book is another reflective book about a woman divorcing her cheating husband and learns about love and loss through tango lessons.

Conversation #2

Since you don't like the Twilight series, I suggest that you try reading Interview with the Vampire by Anne Rice.  This book is about a vampire who tells a reporter about his 200 year long life.  There is no teen love story about this book.  You might want to read the Dark series by Christine Feehan. This series is a paranormal romance that is detailed and erotic.

Conversation #3

Since you liked The River of Doubt why don't you try reading Over the edge of the world: Magellan's terrifying circumnavigation of the globe by Lawrence Bergreen.  This detailed, suspenseful book is about Ferdinand Magellan's voyage around the world.  You come to read about mutiny, death, navigation and cruel leadership by Magellan.  Also, try reading Skeletons on the Zahara: a true story of survival by Dean King.  This is a very compelling story about 12 American sailors that were shipwrecked in North Africa and taken into slavery in 1815.
