I was really excited about these top 8 on Jezebel the other day. I have only read one of the books on the list so I quickly added the rest to my Amazon wishlist. I thought I would add a few of my own favorites here. What would you add to the list?
Housekeeping by Marilynne Robinson
National Book Award by Jincy Willet (also check out her short stories)
No One Belongs Here More Than You by Miranda July
The Emporer's Children by Claire Messud
Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marisha Pessl

ReplyDeletei have three for you to add!
ReplyDelete(you may have read some already.)
1. i was told there'd be cake by sloane crosley
2. the new york regional mormon singles halloween dance by elna baker
3. funny in farsi by firoozeh dumas
all three were hilarious and touching and written by fantastic, beautiful WOMEN! and they're all sort of similar. i feel like i should write some sort of paper connecting them or something. but school's out for christmas, so i won't!
special topics is awesome.
