MUST READ!
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
Please consider entering my GIVEAWAY for your choice of book from some of my favorites that I'm recommending all the time!
From Goodreads:
Truly deserving of the accolade Modern Classic, Donna Tartt's cult bestseller The Secret History is a remarkable achievement - both compelling and elegant, dramatic and playful.
Under the influence of their charismatic classics professor, a group of clever, eccentric misfits at an elite New England college discover a way of thinking and living that is a world away from the humdrum existence of their contemporaries. But when they go beyond the boundaries of normal morality their lives are changed profoundly and for ever.
I think I still have a bit of a book hangover from TRK and it makes me want to re-read my all time favorite book, a book which some people suggest if you love the TRC series and which Maggie loves as well! I'm also posting later this week about my suggestion of what to read if you love the TRC series.
MUST LISTEN!

I'm embarrassed to admit that I have not read a Donna Tartt book. I know, I know, I need to correct that. Love the video!
ReplyDeleteAwesome list -- more new blogs to visit!
ReplyDeleteI have't tried this author either but I hope this read is everything you are hoping it will be!
ReplyDeleteThe Secret History is super popular on Tumblr. I think it's that book. I need more details about it though because it honestly doesn't sound like something I would like.
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday, Eva! :)
TANK YOU for the shout out lovely! <3 YOU DA BESTEST! <3 I've been hearing lots of good things about TRK (And OMG it;s a #1 Bestseller ALREADY??? HOLY CRAP) HOLY. CRAP. :0
ReplyDeleteI need to read The Secret History. I read The Goldfinch and liked it and have been meaning to pick this one up since then .Great video. Thanks for sharing all the links. Always love to check them out.
ReplyDeleteI need to try a Donna Tartt book! They look very good. :)
ReplyDeleteoh my...it looks like I need to pick up this book, it sounds so INTERESTING!!! I did love Nick's bucket list of destinations. I do want to go to NZ...but I think seeing more UK and Europe I want to do first. Love the history over there and the people are so nice.
ReplyDeleteI lived in the UK for a few years so I got to see a lot but so many places to go over there!
DeleteI have been dying to visit NZ after reading Rosalind James' Escape to NZ series !!
Thanks for sharing these posts, I spotted a few I'll want to check out!
ReplyDeleteI loved The Secret History! I read it right as my son was applying to a small liberal arts college in the midwest... The book made me want to talk him out of going so far away for school. He wound up going to school in California (my state), but it was still 7 hours away from home. I am re-reading The Raven Cycle to work up to reading TRK. So Scared for Gansey!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the post. Just confirms that I need to read Donna Tartt.
