My readerly friends would tell you I’m a total sucker for unconventional books.
Is it a memoir in the form of an encyclopedia? I’m there.
Is it a philosophical essay in multiple choice test form? Sign me up.
A series of personal essays, some of which are 3 sentences in length (and powerful as all heck)? One of my favorite books ever.
So I’ve got 5 books for us today, and I fervently want you to tell me about the unconventional books you’ve loved (or hated — I know they’re not for everyone).
Here are 5 unconventional books to consider for Book Bingo:
- Heating and Cooling: 52 Micro-Memoirs by Beth Ann Fennelly
- Gmorning, Gnight! Little Pep Talks for Me & You by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Jonny Sun
- Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life by Amy Krouse Rosenthal
- Multiple Choice by Alejandro Zambra
- The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon by Sei Shonagon
