The hotel on the corner of bitter and sweet.
The earth abides
The art of racing in the rain
The curious incident of the dog in the night
The forever war

I'm currently trying to read S.E.E.D and/or Battle Royal.

I joined a book club! I'm in a very tiny town (300ppl) super excited

The Art of Racing in the Rain is excellent. If you live in California and/or are familiar with the small racetracks there you'll really like it for the car stuff. I liked it for that and the fact it was "written" by a dog. Good book.

I LOVED the book!I loved the dynamic of how it was written. I'm in Saskatchewan, Canada. I didn't really notice the car stuff, I noticed more the emotion the "Dog" put into those parts of the book.

Moving_Forward: I've heard lots of good things about Wild by Cheryl Strayed. It's been optioned for a movie by Reese Witherspoon's production company.

luciddepths: great list of books! I enjoyed The Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night. I'll have to check out the others. Have you read Code Name Verity? Given your list of books, I think it's one you would like.

I'm still reading Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore. It's a thick book but I've been racing through it.

At my book club, I just read "How to make an American quilt"

I didn't HATE it, but I sure didn't love it.
