#fallintobooks #autumnreads #recommendedtoyou

This #raw and gritty memoir about a former East LA gang member that finds his way out of gangs through poetry and activism was recommended to me. I read it years ago and I currently have Rodriguez's follow up book on my tbr.

These were both recommended to me by my cousin's wife. I read and loved A Man Called Ove, but the other one is still on my TBR shelf. I'll get to it at some point. #RecommendedToYou #AutumnReads @Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck

MayginReads I've read both and A Man Called Ove was the better of the two for me. There is a follow-up book to My Grandmother... Called Britt-Marie was here. I haven't read it but heard it was also good. 7y

This was an entertaining #Audiobook but I think I may have had too high of expectations based on the reviews I read from both strangers and family! Though I had fun #AudioColoring to it! #RecommendedToYou @Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck

ReadingSusan Ohhh love your coloring! 7y
TorieStorieS @ReadingSusan Thank you so much! I love when I can find a picture to color that fits with the book! 7y

These three books were recommended and loaned to me by @Reviewsbylola and so far she is 2 for 3! I haven't read Baker Tower yet, but I'm assuming I will like it as much as I liked the first two. I love having daughters that read and then recommend! #recommendedtoyou #autumnreads

Reviewsbylola I know what you like! 7y
Cinfhen I love how well you all know each other's reading preferences 💕💕💕 7y
emilyhaldi I still hate recommending books for people- too much pressure! 7y

Currently reading. #recommendedtoyou by @mrozzz #autumnreads @Tiffy_Reads @JoeStalksBeck
@Cinfhen - books I would have given my younger self. All the current social justice books that are about. The feminist books about at the time were too academic, middle class and educated- I wanted something more inclusive - which gladly exist now

Cinfhen Nice! I should give this one a try #stacked 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage I think this is my answer too. 7y
TrishB @BarbaraTheBibliophage some of the recent books have been brilliant! 7y

mrozzz Glad you picked this up!! I need to get to it myself 🙈 7y
GatheringBooks i know what you mean about the overly-cerebral nature of feminist writings of old - perhaps i will get to read them too someday, but they do have this difficulty in connecting to the audience they are trying to reach. 7y

One of the library staff and I swap book recommendations. She absolutely loved this and told me I had to read it. If British royalty is your thing, take a look at the latest Charles biography. I was told it is unbiased, which would be nice - present all of the good and the bad of someone for readers to see the whole person. Looking forward to reading this! #recommendedtoyou #autumnreads
