Today I have a fun post. Every year there are so many books published in lots of genres and it got me thinking what books where published the year I was born. I went on google and did some research and I found that surprisingly a lot of authors who released books then are still releasing books now!
So the year I was born was 1988 and here are some books that where published that year. (Books linked to Goodreads)
Matilda was published the month of my birthday, being October. When I was younger I read a few Roald Dahl books but not Matilda. I did enjoy the movie and would like to read the book someday. A girl who loves books and can control things with her mind, what's not to like!
The film of this book is a cult classic movie I feel and again this is a book I haven't read or seen the movie adaption. It's something that doesn't appeal to me but I didn't realize it was nearly 30 years old!
Again I haven't read a Terry Pratchett book but this is an author I do want to check out.
Margaret Atwood wasn't an author I was aware of until very recently which seems to be a failure on my part. Am not sure how famous Cat Eyes is. One book of hers that I do want to pick up is The Handmaids Tale. It has been everywhere lately because of the TV show, I feel I need to pick it up and watch the show ASAP!
This is such a famous book, enough said!
Finally an Anne Rice book. I really want to read this series I can't believe the first book was published in the 70's let alone this book being published the year I was born!
So that was some books published the year I was born. What are some of the books that where published the year you where born?
Oh wow, this is SO fun. What a great idea. They all sound great. I hope you enjoy them once you read it. I read one of Margaret Atwood's books in the past but forget the title. Her books were/are quite popular. :)
ReplyDeleteIt was interesting to research. I think I might do it for some more important years in my life. Yea Margaret Atwood is really recent to me. The handmaids tale is the only one of interest so far :)
DeleteSuch an adorable post- now I want to look up the ones that fell in my birth year/ month...!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you :) It such fun I hope you find some awesome books :)
DeleteHow fun! Matilda is awesome. I read it as a child, along with every Roald Dahl book in my libraries. I listened to the audio book a couple of years ago and it was excellent. Kate Winslet is the narrator and she does a wonderful job. If you like audio books then I recommend it for sure.
