Here's my list.

Testament by John Grisham
The No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency by Alexandra McCall Smith
Sisterhood Series by Fern Michaels

As long as I'm accumulating a book list, why not make it extraordinarily long? Have you any titles you think I should add?
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
ReplyDeleteThe Help by Kathryn Stockett
Sarah's Key by Tatiana de Rosnay

That'll keep you out of trouble for a while. Hope you enjoy Steig Larson as much as I did.
I have on my list:
ReplyDeleteThe Heart is a Lonely Hunter by Carson McCullers
Saturday by Ian McEwan
The rest are YA novels and the Pulitzer List I try to pull at least two books a year from.
GULLY: I think I'll retire tomorrow so I have more reading time! Thanks a bunch for these titles.
ReplyDeleteDARKSCULPTURES: I read The Heart is a Lonely Hunter early this year but I added Saturday to my growing list.
I appreciate your book ideas.
I liked the last two books I just finished - The Help by Kathryn Stockett, and The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown.
ReplyDeleteJANA: Dan Brown's books are always good! Thank you.
