@Diane I have read so many of these same books! Another non fiction you should read is THE SHORT AND TRAGIC LIFE OF ROBERT PEACE by Jeff Hobbs. Amazing and sad but so eye opening
Linda Broday, Kaki Warner, Laura Drake, E E Burke, Susan Mae Warren, Rosanne Bittner… just pick any one of theirs and you cannot miss! (esp Warner’s Blood Rose Trilogy, Bittner’s Harkner series, Broday’s Men of Legend series, Warren’s Smokejumpers series)

John Irving, Chris Bohjalian, Margaret Atwood, Elizabeth Berg, Anne Tyler, Jodi Picoult, Meg Wolitzer, Anna Quindlen, Haven Kimmel, Aimee Bender, Kelly Corrigan never disappoint!
Some of my current favorites are: The Scribe of Sienna, Best Day Ever, The Goddesses, If The Creek Don’t Rise, Behold the Dreamers,and How to Walk Away. Some of my all time faves are: City of Thieves, Wuthering Heights, Anna Karenina, The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, All the Light we Cannot See, and anything by John Irving— to name a few!
The Stolen Marriage, by Diane Chamberlain The Promise Between Us, By @Barbara (actually, all of her books) The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, by Taylor Jenkins Reid This Heart of Mine, by C.C. Hunter The Man She Married, by @Cathy (really, you can’t go wrong with any of her books)
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society (by Annie Barrows and Mary Ann Shaffer), The Alienist and The Angel of Darkness (by Caleb Carr), The Prisoner in the Castle (by Susan Elia MacNeal — this is the 8th book in the Maggie Hope series and I would recommend starting at the beginning), all of Louise Penny’s Three Pines books ~
