Welcome to day three of the A-Z Challenge and today’s letter is C.
The A-Z Challenge involves blogging every day except Sundays and each day corresponds to a letter of the alphabet. The daily posts most relate to that letter and can all have a theme or can be totally random. My theme this year is Recommended Reading, where I will share three to five books for each letter that I have really enjoyed and think more people should read.
I have tried to have a mix of authors and genres but you will notice some real favourites occurring more than once. The posts do contain affiliate links (don’t worry, they don’t affect you in any way but if you want to know more, check the end of the post). Below you will find today’s chosen books:
The Clan of the Cave Bear by Jean M Auel
I must have read this book five or six times over the years and not only does it remain one of my all time top ten favourite books, but every time I read it, I spot something, a little detail, that I missed before. To read the blurb or to buy, check here.
The Circle by Dave Eggers
This book is set in a time where the internet is even more ingrained in our every day lives than it is now. It follows Mae, a girl who goes to work at the Circle and ends up agreeing to live stream her entire life. Although there are moments that you will have to suspend your disbelief, overall, the book is an entertaining and slightly worrying look at the possibility of a less than private future.

A Clockwork Orange by Anthony Burgess
Having seen the movie a few times, I decided to try the book. It is more insightful and more entertaining because we are right inside Alex’s head rather than just watching the action unfold. I would recommend watching the movie first though because the book is written with slang and wording appropriate to the world Burgess builds, but it might be a bit hard to decipher some of it if you haven’t already got an idea what’s going on.

The Choice by S J Ford
The question at the centre of this book is a simple one: would you kill one person who you knew was about to blow up a primary school to save hundreds of children, including your own? I loved the dilemma presented and the way the story panned out. To read the blurb or to buy the book, click here.
The Chalet by Catherine Cooper
I loved how many twists and turns there were in this book, and how, every time I thought I had it figured out, something changed and I was left reeling. To read the blurb or to buy the book, click here.
