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.
