    Thank you!
    I’d like to add The Other Americans by Laila Lalami and City of Thieves which was written by David Benioff (better known as the writer/producer of Game of Thrones).
    Both literary page turners.

  2. Suzanne FitzGerrell Caram

    Lilac Girls by Martha Hall Kelly. A fabulous read about three women during WWII and how their lives intersect through trials and tribulations.

  3. Rebecca

    Currently reading The Overstory by Richard Powers and loving it.
