Hiya,
Girlfriend and I are working overseas from each other at the moment and looking for things to do together. Just finished reading Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin together and loved it – looking for the next one and hoped you could help!
Things we definitely want:
– fiction
– a couple surprises or twists that we can commiserate about together
Things we like but don’t need:
– fun words (we both love having to look up a definition every once in a while, though only if it’s warranted)
– some sort of romance, though not necessarily as the main plot
– stories with mixed race characters
– stories that touch on our interests (acting, piano, running, travelling, video games, crosswords/puzzles, singing)
Things we’d like to avoid:
– stories where there is a large focus on death or illness (it’s ok if characters die or get sick, but preferably avoiding things like My Sisters Keeper or The Book Thief)
– fantasy or extreme science fiction (one of us loves these… one of us doesn’t ahaha)
Feel free to ignore any of the middle category – it’s just there for potential inspiration. Mostly just want a good book we will be excited to talk about with each other 🙂
