On Goodreads I pointed out "The Wide Sargasso Sea" to Bryce Rumbles and Randalee Gross for totally different reasons; there being a lot of reasons to recommend it, I found it easy to find people who I thought would like it. Bryce has enjoyed dark brooding crime books which involve madness, so I think he'll like it. Randalee likes classics and although this is a little young to be called a classic maybe, I think anyone who liked the Bronte's will want to have a look at this one. Sorta Bronte fan fiction. Randalee also like Marbles which was about a woman with mental illness so there is that. Finally, she also lived in Africa for awhile so I thought she might enjoy the exotic location.
Thanks, Lorrie! That one's been on my radar for some time.
ReplyDeletePS: You should get bonus points for recommending the same book to two different people for TWO DIFFERENT REASONS. That's Professional Grade RA for ya!
ReplyDeleteI felt like I shortchanged them by using the same book twice, although Bryce did up a good spin on it, so I went back and recommended another for each of them. "A Covert Affair" by Jennet Conant for Bryce and "Happy Hour at Casa Dracula" by Marta Acosta for Randalee.
