This post was inspired by the Broke and the Bookish.
It can be really fun to read a book that you know is good and popular and that everyone’s talking about. But the reverse is just as fun - sometimes it’s nice to be one of the only people to know about and appreciate a book. Then you’re in a better position to introduce it to people who will never have heard about it - and maybe be the only person to blog about it. Here are some books I’ve read that ( as I'm writing this) have under 2000 ratings on Goodreads:
- Invincible Summer by Jean Ferris
- Hip Hop Family Tree, Vol. 1: 1970s-1981 by Ed Piskor
- The Mirk and Midnight Hour by Jane Nickerson
- Are You Alone on Purpose? By Nancy Werlin
- Flowers in the Dustbin: The Rise of Rock and Roll, 1947-1977 by James Miller
- Remembering Isaac: The Wise and Joyful Potter of Niederbipp by Ben Behunin
- Hold the Dark by William Giradli
- Ghosts of Everest: The Search for Mallory & Irvine by Jochen Hemmleb, Eric R. Simonson, Larry A. Johnson
