Ahoy possums 🦔 now that it’s getting cold outside, I’m looking to curl up with some good books 📕 indoors. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a few books based on what I’ve loved in the past and wish I could forget so I could read them all over again!!
A little life – Hanya Yanagihara;
A thousand splendid suns – Khaled Hosseini;
The road – Cormac McCarthy;
10 minutes 38 seconds – Elif Shafak;
God of small things- Arundhati Roy;
The Underground Railroad – Colson Whitehead;
All the light we cannot see – Anthony Doerr
Thank you so much 🦔☺️🌽

You might like The Kite Runner and The Color of Water by James McBride.
Since you’ve listed a few of my all time favs, here goes…
Less Than by A.D. Long – Recently published. Deserves more hype. Really brilliant debut.
Corban Addison – I’d recommend any and all of his books.
Lisa Genova – Also on my auto read list.
The Nightingale by Kristen Hannah – I’d be surprised if you haven’t already read it based on your list.
Crossroads by Jonathan Franzen – He’s a bit pretentious but it’s a family saga I haven’t stopped thinking about since reading.
The Invention of Wings by Sue Monk Kidd – I listened to the audiobook which was very well narrated.
The Giver of the Stars by Jojo Moyes – Historical fiction that, sadly, still feels very relevant today.
The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini – A must if you liked his other work.
All The Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood – Check it out before committing. Very controversial with a lot of trigger warnings, but it’s a story that’s stuck with me, and it’s beautifully written.
A Gentleman in Moscow by Amor Towles
If you haven’t read any Jesmyn Ward she would be a perfect addition to your list. I loved “Sing, Unburied, Sing,” and she has a brand new book out called “Let Us Descend.”
Let the Great World Spin by Colum McCann
I also loved Whitehead’s Nickel Boys.
The Reading List….Sara Nisha Adams
In the past, I’ve enjoyed many of your favorites. Another great one to try would be The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro. Or just about anything else by the author.
Perhaps *On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous* by Ocean Vuong.
Moloaka’i is one of my faves
Firekeeprs Daughter I thought was great. Very rich characters.
The Secret History by Donna Tartt
Pachinko by Min Jin Lee
The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon
The Five People You Meet In Heaven (Mitch Albom) was amazing!! Changed my life.
I’m always recommending *Lonesome Dove* by Larry McMurtry, and I don’t know if I’ll stop.
Maybe check out The Berry Pickers by Amanda Peters.
