Words in the Title – ‘you’

This will the most random way of finding new exciting reads. Each week I’ll choose some random word and I’ll try to find books with this word in the title that I find interesting. This might result in my TBR growing exponentially. Each week though, I’ll first look if there’s a book that I already read that has this word in the title.

This week’s word is: you

– Books I’ve read –

• Where’d You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple – great book, and there’s a movie adaptation coming out this year. Read before you see the movie!
