I'm Back! And I need adult fiction recommendations!
Hello! I am BACK from Harry Potter World and it was AMAZING! I will get into that more later. I've also got some great reviews scheduled, some author interviews, a new synopsis-project idea, AND I'm starting on the birthday bash 2013.
BUT, what I need ASAP are some adult fiction recommendations! My mom is flying to Australia TODAY, and she needs some books. Unfortunately, we have really opposite tastes when it comes to books, so I have no idea how to help her. Here's what she said:
If you know of any great books, please recommend ASAP!

I want something that's a page-turner. I also like books with some element of mystery that needs to be solved.Here are some of her favorites:
- The Handmaid's Tale
- The Help
- Life of Pi
- The Book Thief
- Grapes of Wrath
- Rebecca
- The Bell Jar
- The Bean Trees
- The Poisonwood Bible
If you know of any great books, please recommend ASAP!

Tee hee. I read my mom this list and she has read EVERY one of those except Silver Sparrow. Her response was: "Your readers are magical people. How did they know?!"
DeleteThe Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society -- I second that.
ReplyDeleteA few good authors: Penelope J. Stokes, Charles Martin, Mitch Albom, Marilynne Robinson. All have a sort of write Christian novels, which I like.
The Lace Reader by Brunonia Barry.
ReplyDeleteI haven't read a lot of adult fiction, but I am reading one right now that I'm liking so far. It's called A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent (the author is Marie Brennan). It's set in a fictional world patterned after Regency/Early Victorian English society. I feel like it's Jane Austen meets dragons meets Jane Goodall.
ReplyDeleteOther books that are "adult" that I like:
A Dog's Purpose
Love Comes Softly
not a big fan of adult fictions though, but i really get into some science fictions
