Books out of my comfort zone

So this month for the YA book club I'm in we had to read either Marcelo in the Real World, or The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. I must say both of these books are so far out of my comfort zone to read because I really don't like realistic fiction. I decided to suck it up and read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. I was so surprised!!! I actually liked it a lot! :)  It was very sad, but there was a lot of humor that made it relatable and fun. There were also fantastic drawings in the book to go along with the story. I recommend it if you're not sure about realistic fiction, but want to try one out.

  1. I don't have any problems with realistic fiction, and love both of those books. Still I have to say you picked wisely. Whely Marcelo in the Real World is good, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian is unbelievabley fatastic. Seriously, if you didn't like this book I'ld have to stop being friends with you.
