The Gemma Doyle Trilogy

  

The first official series that this book club is recommending is the Gemma Doyle trilogy by Libba Bray.  This series as well as other series we have read in the past couple of months was recommended to me by a friend at my old job, Breezy.  If one good thing came out of that job, it was the 4 series that she introduced to us including, The Luxe by Anna Godbersen, The Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz and Wicked Lovely by Melissa Marr.  As we both like those three series, when Christine asked me what we should read next, I told her of the last series that Breezy recommended and here we are!  We also thought it would be a great way to kick off our book club! 

The first book is A Great and Terrible Beauty, the second Rebel Angels and the final one, The Sweet Far Thing.  It is the story of young Gemma, an English girl in the late 1880's who just moves to England from India after her mother dies.  What is also interesting about this series is that they are planning on releasing a movie based on the books next year!  So that is very exciting!

Stay tuned for our reviews as we will be posting them accordingly!  Please feel free to read the series along with us and share your comments and thoughts or to let us know what you thought of the series if you have already read them!  But no spoilers please!  Thanks so much and happy reading!
