Listless Monday was inspired by both Amanda at A Bookshelf Monstrosity's feature Books by Theme and Court at Once Upon a Bookshelf's Listed feature. Be sure to check out their lists!
I don't know about where you live, but around here, it's been HOT! In keeping with that, I've created a hodge podge kind of list that includes books with hot settings, books that talk about heat or fire or some such, and simply books with the right kind of title to fit this. Enjoy - and keep cool!
Red Hot Edition
Ashes of Roses by Mary Jane Auch
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof by Tennessee Williams
Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins

Any suggestions?
(that aren't too risque - doing an Amazon search for the word "hot" can get a lot of interesting results)
If you buy through my Amazon linkage, I will get a very small percentage

Ah good one! And look at all those covers that totally say FIRE!
ReplyDeletelol @ that last comment! I just read Fire & Hemlock last month: it was awesome. :)
ReplyDeleteSuey, I tried to pick the hotsy-est looking ones!
ReplyDeleteEva, yeah, I had to pick and choose for the list. I've yet to read Fire and Hemlock, but I'm interested!
