My mom and I do this! Some of the ones we’ve enjoyed: several Colleen Hoover books (contemporary fiction/romance), The Last Time I Lied by Riley Sager (mystery/thriller), A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman (contemporary fiction), and A Place to Call Home by Deborah Smith (romance).
If you like thrillers (thought I saw that in your comment?) you’ve gotta buddy read Sometimes I Lie by Alice Feeney. You will have LOTS to discuss!!!!!
@Kathy just tossing out thriller titles for ya…but if you want a great historical fiction I’d definitely second that nomination for The Alice Network up above. SO good!!!! ❤️
@Kathy of course you have. What about Hester Young’s trilogy Gates of Evangeline Is first. (thriller) Recommending for you is like someone recommending for me. ?????
My Mom introduced me to Harlan Coben books, and we would buy for each other and then share. She’s been gone 11 years now. Wish we could still enjoy books together
