So so many it is hard to choose! There are a few that I always recommend, The Storyteller by Jody Picoult, Snowflower and the secret fan by Lisa See, and Moloka’i by Alan Brennert.
I’ve read several great books, but I’ll go back to what sparked my love of reading when I was young. To kill a mockingbird and Fahrenheit 451 started my obsession with books.
I read all these a few years ago. Not read his newer stuff yet, though A Week in December is on the cards this year – maybe in December. Now there’s a theme….
The ones I usually trot out as all time faves are: Shadow of the Wind Wuthering Heights The Wheel of Fortune To Kill A Mockingbird The Stand. Rebecca Anam Cara
But I’ll add: Penmarric (In fact anything by Susan Howatch) Northanger Abbey (Jane Austen not Val Mcdermid lol) Mathew Flinders’ Cat Carrie The Woman in White Eternal Echoes Oliver Twist The Interpretation of Murder Winter in Madrid
Wuthering Heights and Rebecca. Absolutely wonderful books. Love Jane Eyre too and also another of my favourite classics is Jude the Obscure by Thomas Hardy.
Sorry to not answer succinctly: A Farewell to Arms by Ernest Hemingway The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho The Prince of Tides by Pat Conroy The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and a couple of amazing non-fiction books that read like novels: Walking With the Wind: A Memoir of the Movement by John Lewis (a book I think everyone should read) The Lemon Tree by Sandy Tolan
– The Secret Life of Bees – Sue Monk Kidd – The Stolen Marriage – Diane Chamberlain – Firefly Lane – Kristin Hannah – The Fixer Upper – Mary Kay Andrews
Those are my favorites. I recommend those titles to people all the time! ?
My favourite book is Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier but I recently read Thin Air by Michelle Paver which I really really enjoyed and would highly recommend. Also On Beauty by Zadie Smith. A modern classic
A Court of Mist and Fury. Second book in the ACOTAR series
That was my favourite in the series
Mine too so far
Lonesome Dove
Wow this is a tough one. I would say my all time favorite above all book is The Storyteller by Jodie Piccoult
So so many it is hard to choose! There are a few that I always recommend, The Storyteller by Jody Picoult, Snowflower and the secret fan by Lisa See, and Moloka’i by Alan Brennert.
