Book Blogger Appreciation Week is hosted by The Estella Society. I chickened out and didn’t participate in Day 2 interview, but here I’m back for Day 3.
What have you read and loved because of a fellow blogger?
Tough one, I joined the blogging community recently and my fellow bloggers for now keep on adding to my TBR list. As I am on book buying ban I plough through books I already had.
Here are some books I have high hopes for because of my fellow bloggers reviews:
Americanah – Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie – here are the reviews that convinced me to push this book to the top of my TBR and I’m reading it now: Worn Corners, Hard Book Habit
We Have Always Lived in the Castle – Shirley Jackson – wonderfully reviewed by Lady Fancifull and Shoshi’s Book Blog
The Vegetarian – Han Kang – reviewed by Savidge Reads and outofthebooks89

I am so glad you are reading ‘Americanah’ now, Jo. I love Adichie, and I love that book. I hope you like it too. Happy reading!
And, we are destined to be book-pals, I suppose. We both love ‘We Have Always Lived in the Castle.’ 🙂 What a gorgeous atmospheric novel that is!

I’m enjoying Americanah a lot, still in progress but it’s a read that makes me wish my commute to work was longer. 🙂

It is lovely, isn’t it? Obinze, and Ifemelu are amazing.

It’s great. I love the fact that it makes me think and still is a pleasure to read, I really have to force myself to stop when I get to work. Over the last 2 days I had lunch on my own to keep on reading.

The blogosphere has been kind to Shirley Jackson, I must say! I would never have given her a second glance without book bloggers, and as it is, she’s one of my favorite authors.

That’s very true, thanks to bloggers I discover so many authors that I somehow ignored before, it is amazing! It’s great how it makes me curious and then pushes me out of my comfort zone.

I hope you enjoy ‘Americanah’, I’m still feeling the fallout of it’s splendour and power. I keep reading persuasive reviews of Han Kang’s ‘The Vegetarian’ too. I can’t wait to get a copy! 🙂

I enjoy it a lot! I’m flying home today, so probably I’ll finish during flight. The only time I’m not reading it is when I read book blogs 🙂

All three of these books are high on my own list!

What a selection! Thank you for mentioning my review of ‘We Have Always Lived in the Castle’. I also loved ‘The Vegetarian,’ which joined the Jackson novel as one of my top reads of 2015. Currently finishing ‘Americanah’ – another fantastic read, I can’t wait to read your views.
