Well, since I don't have anything of my own (yet!) to share I thought I would list some of my favorite novels…this is not in any particular order. I recommend them all wholeheartedly equally!

Wuthering Heights - Emily Bronte                                         The Husband's Secret - Liane Moriarty

Here on Earth - Alice Hoffman                                              Gone Girl - Gillian Flynn

A Thousand Splendid Suns - Khaled Hosseini                        Those Who Save Us - Jenna Blum

Left Neglected - Lisa Genova                                                 The Dinner - Herman Koch

The Story of Beautiful Girl - Rachel Simon                          Princesses Behaving Badly - Linda Rodriquez McRobbie

I could add so many more! Maybe what I'll do until I have works of my own to list here is periodically post novels that I encourage everyone to read.
