Happy early Christmas to me! I had a Barnes and Noble coupon, so I bought myself a present 😬. This was my favorite #EclecticReaders pick of the year, and the story is too good- and the cover too pretty- to only be on my kindle! #EclecticPick

MrBook Nice cover! 😊👍🏻 8y
whatthelog I loved this one too! Your copy is so much prettier than mine though 😍 8y
Merethebookgal @whatthelog I can't wait until another one of his books is translated into English! 8y

Faibka I'm so glad to hear it's good! I admit I totally fell for its looks when I bought it. Added to TBR for next year 😊 8y
Merethebookgal @Faibka I hope you like it, too! I'm not going to lie, it's a little weird, but I like weird! 😁 8y
Faibka @Merethebookgal well that just sold it even more! 8y

Here's another #EclecticPick! Tara Clancy's memoir: The Clancys of Queens (tagged in the comments) came out recently and I can't wait to get my hands on it! She was hilarious at #BRLive and I'm hoping to get the audiobook because she's such a character 😂!

Biting the Sun | Tanith Lee
post image

@Merethebookgal and I had a fantastic time at #BRLive! We asked authors, creators, & publishers what their #eclecticpick would be - aka. What book they just love no matter how weird or rare.

Before we jump into their picks, I'd like to start with mine - Tanith Lee's "Biting the Sun" An amazing utopian-dystopia that asks, in a world where anything is possible, is everything perfect?

What is your #eclecticpick #eclecticreaders?

Mc_cart_ny I really need to read that one, I missed it when we read it!! 8y
TaraNewman @Mc_cart_ny You really really do! One of my all time favs. 8y
Karen_V Hi Tara! Great to meet you a couple of weeks ago. I sent you an email at the eclecticreaders email address. Hope you had a nice Thanksgiving! 8y
BillBlume My eclectic pick would be Stephen King's The Gunslinger. That book blew me away when I was in my teens. It's a short work compared to most of King's books these days, and it's a crazy rabbit hole of dark fantasy. I'm planning to reread it before the film comes out. 8y

The Eclectic Review | William Hendry Stowell
post image

While at #BRLive fellow #EclecticReaders podcast cohost @TaraNewman and I asked authors and Book Rioters for their #EclecticPick: an off-the-wall book recommendation, a book they love but feel like doesn't get enough attention, or just a favorite read. We'll be posting their answers so be on the lookout for those, and join in with your own recommendations using hashtag #EclecticPick!

Lupita.Reads Such a great idea! 8y
Merethebookgal @Lupita.Reads Thanks! 😊 8y
