The Enchanted April
Tuesdays at the Castle (which is a series where each book starts with a day of the week. This is the first one.)
The Wednesday Wars
The Wednesday Letters
The Hunt for Red October


Tuesdays with Morrie
Friday by Heinlein

I'm tentatively planning on "Tuesdays at the Castle" - my daughter keeps telling me I HAVE to read it.


I read The Wednesday Wars to my class one year. It's pretty good.

Ruby Tuesday
Waiting for Wednesday
Sweet Thursday
The Wild Irish Boxed Set is currently free on amazon (241116)

I read it ages ago, but also October Sky.

Live from New York sounds so interesting. Might go with that one.

Every Tuesday Castle Glower takes on a life of its own-magically inventing, moving, and even completely getting rid of some of its rooms. Good thing Princess Celie takes the time to map out these never-ending changes. Because when the castle is ambushed and Celie's parents and oldest brother go missing, it's up to Celie to protect their home and save their kingdom.
This book has been on my radar for a few years. I can't convince my daughter to read it with me, so I may just read it on my own!
My 13 year old read Tuesdays at the Castle a few years ago and gives it rave reviews, insisting that I read it, so it's my book for this category, I'll finally read it! She says the next books in the series aren't as good.


Some other suggestions that I have read are:
Tuesdays with Morrie
The Friday Night Knitting Club
4th of July

I'm glad you said this! This is the only book I have that comes closest to satisfying this category lol

I think I'm gonna read Moominvalley in November for this one. I have to check if it is a good idea for a present for my nephew :)

March or
Fourth of July Creek"
Ohh thanks for reminding me about Fourth of July Creek. I bought it a couple of years ago, and this will be a good way to get it off my TBR list!

I might go with Harry August, unless something else leaps out at me.
One Rainy Day in May by Mark Z. Danielewski.
If you are double dipping has tiny drawing of cat printed all over front cover as background. And if you're triple dipping it also is a novel containing pictures!

For me that wouldn't work. I'm only considering titles that are referring to a month. But I've seen other people using books with "Fall" (for the seasons prompt) or "March," etc in the title where the meaning is not the season or month, so for some people this works. We all get to create the challenge we want!

It was really good and I highly recommend it. It was terribly sad at some points: reading the description of Jackie O and her reactions after her husband's death and JFK's funeral moved me to tears.

There's also The View from Saturday that hasn't been mentioned yet, I don't think. One of my favorites, it could also maybe fit for disabilities.




It's surprising, witty and different, somewhat refreshing. And while it's not always credible, it was nice to drown into this weird world, away from the oh too real world.

Ooh - thanks for the suggestion! I was wondering what I was going to read for this prompt, and I totally forgot I have this book. It is buried under a bunch of stuff on a shelf. Yay!

Haha you're welcome! I was stumped because all I could think of was Tuesdays with Morrie and I already read it. I browsed the library and already had Friday Night Knitting Club in my TBR! Forgot about it!
