Pls recommend five books … A classic … A recent read … A personal fav … Travel lit … Unknown author/translated novel? 7 answers
I read a fun YA novel set in the 80s a few months back, it’s called We Are Still Tornadoes. It’s all in letters back and forth between two characters
Definitely Tell The Wolves I’m Home. Great read. Also, The Marriage Plot by Eugenides ( i didn’t finish it) but definitely 80s.
My new novel–sorry for the self promotion–How Fast Can You Run is sent in the 80’s. https://www.amazon.com/How-Fast-Can-You-Run/dp/1941861415/ref=tmm_hrd_title_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1491239409&sr=8-1
Lillian Boxfish takes a Walk. She is walking New Years Eve 1984 but she reflects on her life as the first woman copywriter for Macy’s. Fiction but based on a real woman. It’s so good.
The Remember When series by T. Torrest is one of my favorites. When she referenced Bon Jovi and Aqua Net I was in love!
Book of the Month club just added one for April! The Impossible Fortress by Jason Rekulak.

Thanks Amy–I’ve been hearing a lot about this book! 🙂
I assume 2012 was too long ago? Tell the Wolves I’m Home by Carol Rifka Brunt was so wonderful.
Yeah, but thanks. Several people have recommended that but we need something more recent! 🙁
Definitely Tell The Wolves I’m Home. Great read. Also, The Marriage Plot by Eugenides ( i didn’t finish it) but definitely 80s.
Great recommends but we need books that were published within the past year or 18 months.
Eleanor and Park by Rainbow Rowell;
My Best Friends Exorcism by Grady Hendrix
Ah–great suggestions. Thank you!!!
I loved Eleanor and Park!
Nice choices…I unfortunately can’t think of any, Renee.
I know, I was stumped, too!!! 🙂

I’ve been hearing GREAT things about this. Definitely one to read!!! Thanks!
I just got an email from Netgalley about a book called White Fur, set in 1980s New York
Oooh, thanks for the heads up. I’ll do some investigating!
Ready Player One by Ernest Cline
Great–thanks for the suggestion! 🙂
The Remember When series by T. Torrest is one of my favorites. When she referenced Bon Jovi and Aqua Net I was in love!
This would be my suggestion! Most of her books have 80s/90s references.
Ooh, don’t you love it when they hit you with that nostalgia. I’m a sucker for that sort of thing! 🙂
