Not sure what to read next month? The following four books sound really, really good. I already have The Girl on the Train and Yes Please on my to-read list. And I have to say What If sounds like a great book to read with friends on a rainy day when you have nothing else to do.
The Girl on the Train
Written by Paula Hawkins, Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning. Every day stops at the signal that allows her to watch the same couple breakfasting. But one day she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed and her life becomes entwined in the lives of everyone involved.
A professional outfit to wear on the train to work: a floral and navy dress, a moss-colored blazer, green bangles, and pointed toe nude heels. Or put on a darker outfit, like a black lace top, a colorful necklace, black high-waisted jeans, gray nail polish, and nude flats.

A Spool of Blue Thread
Written by Anne Tyler, Abby Whitshank always begins the story of how she fell in love with Red that day in July 1959. Abby tells the tale her large family has heard so many times before, and yet this gathering is different too: Abby and Red are growing older, and decisions must be made about how best to look after them.
A cute, breezy outfit: a blue floral dress, a polka dot cardigan, nude bow wedges, and a teal clutch. Or go for something a little more fancy instead by wearing a cobalt blue dress, blue drop earrings, and black pumps.

Yes Please
Written by Amy Poehler, Yes Please, she offers up a big juicy stew of personal stories, funny bits on sex and love and friendship and parenthood and real life advice, like when to be funny and when to be serious.
Who wouldn't want to dress Amy Poehler? So wear a white blouse, black jeans, a pink watch, and brown oxford flats, like her outfit on the cover. Or put on a black and white striped dress, a pink necklace, a pale pink watch, and nude heels.

What If?: Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions
Written by Randall Monroe, What If explains the laws of science in a way that every reader will enjoy and feel smarter for having read. It's far more than a book for geeks, and his answers are witty and memorable and have hilarious cartoons and infographics.
Wear something fun and quirky: a dinosaur print dress, metallic sunglasses, a blue watch, and brown loafers. Or throw on a dinosaur shirt, gray jeans, a dinosaur necklace, a green watch, and yellow Converse.

ReplyDeleteThe Girl On The Train is on my reading list. I've heard from several people that it's good!

These collages are always so fun. I am impressed by your ability to make a capsule that reflects a book so well! The Girl on the Train is on my reading list for sure (so is Yes Please.) Also- have you read The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo series?? I just heard yesterday a new novel with the same characters (that was finished by another author, since the original author died mysteriously) is coming out on 9/1! So exciting!!

I love the pieces for Yes Please! Plus that backpack in the What If? set, and now I'm interested in the book, as well. It's not one I was even aware of before, but it sounds right up my alley, along with The Girl on the Train, which I've been wanting to read for a few weeks but haven't picked up a copy of just yet.
ReplyDeleteThese are so great! I'll take everything in the first collage please! Yes, Please is definitely on my list. I'm just waiting for it to come into the library. I just got my hands on Lena Dunham's "Not that Kind of Girl" and I'm so excited to start it.
ReplyDeleteI need that "girl on the train" necklace!!

I love the t-shirt+jeans+sneakers combo for What If?. But then again, I always love t-shirt+jeans+sneakers combo! (Bonus point for the dinosaur, though)
