Yesterday, a book I’d ordered from TheBookDepository.co.uk came and as usual I found one of their original paper bookmarks inside the package next to my spanking brand new book, The Black Count: Glory, Revolution, Betrayal,and the Real Count of Monte Cristo. Love these bookmarks! I already have a collection of them; even one that glows in the dark that has a Halloween theme. This time the bookmark was labeled on one side ‘International Books you should read as voted for by our customers’. The titles were marked in different languages. The other side was marked ‘Books you should read as voted for by our customers’. I’m not sure when this survey took place but I would guess within the last year. From what was listed, I’d personally like to finish Harry Potter, and read The Fault in Our Stars, A Game of Thrones, The Lord of the Rings, We Need to Talk About Kevin, and The Road. What do you think of the list? Is there anything that surprised you on this list? What would you like to read on this list? Here is what was listed:
Life of Pi The Lord of the Rings
Great Expectations The Hobbit
The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy The Slap
