#AMonthofFaves2016: The Most Unique, Weird or Most Memorable Book(s) Read This Year

The Most Unique, Weird or Most Memorable Book(s) Read This Year – not necessarily your favorite book because it could be memorable for how bad or how much you liked or disliked the characters.

I'm here! I'm back in the game! Last week was a whoooole bunch of grading, but aside from one class, I've officially closed out the fall semester, so I'm back to blogging. I love today's prompt, so let's dive right in...

Good-Memorable

Gabi, a Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero for its fierce, relatable, quirky main character (and the secondary characters, too).

Toil and Trouble by Mairghread Scott and Kelly and Nichole Matthews for it's unique take on Hamlet and three badass witches. 

Running the Rift by Naomi Benaron for it's heart-rending plot.

The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig for sexy times in a boat.

Belzhar by Meg Wolitzer for surprising me with more heft than I expected.

Not Great-Memorable

Your Kid's a Brat and It's All Your Fault by Elaine Glickman, and as the title might suggest this one tried humor but landed in more sensational territory.

Ikebana by Yumi Sakugawa was beautifully drawn but ultimately totally confusing.

American Housewife: Stories by Helen Ellis had great promise but fell flat. 

Do tell! Can't wait to see what you all came up with. Don't forget to check out GirlXOXO.com and TravelingWithT.com, too!
