I found this on one of the blogs I follow, Books are the New Black who found it at One Book More. It was originally created by Reviews from the Stacks, and the idea is to spell the month using the first letter of book titles
September: Back to School
My idea was to find as many books with the word school in the title as I can. Ha! I only found one. but I could use that as the first. All the others are either about education and/or children who still attend school, so I hope that counts.

Fun that you have a bit of a school theme this month...very appropriate for September. :D
ReplyDeleteI thought so, too, Lark. I guess that was the reason behind it, as well.
DeleteEducated was SO GOOD.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, Sarah.
DeleteGood choice of books. I have read Educated and Mornings in Jenin, both of the very good. I have read one book by Gavalda, Someone I loved which I liked.
ReplyDeleteYes, I managed to find some good books for this list, Lisbeth. I also read Hunting and Gathering" and "I Wish Someone Were Waiting for Me Somewhere" by Anna Gavalda, most of them with a book club.
DeleteI think you would like most of the other books on this list.
This time, I am adding Emil to my TBR!
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, how comes I have not read this one by Gavalda!!
Beats me, Emma. Maybe not one of her most known books. But definitely worth reading!
ReplyDeleteHave you read anything else by Kästner? Lisa and Lottie were the origins of The Parent Trap.
