Oh wow. I liked a lot of the books on your list so I decided to look up the ones I haven't heard of, starting with the very first one on your list. Turns out I shared a house with the author, Angharad Price, in my first year at Uni!!! The name was familiar but I thought it might be fairly common so looked up her profile and it fitted. I already thought it looked interesting but I will definitely have to read it now.

Could you please tell me what you liked about Girl, Woman, Other??

I can honestly say it's one of the worst books I've ever read. The whole thing was individual sections about some women, many of them very dull, with the odd exciting bit, then it's like the author got bored then thought oh shit, better end it now and linked all the women in the chapters together.

1. Daphne Du Maurier - Rebecca
2. Thomas Hardy - The Mayor of Caster Bridge
3. Dan Brown - The DaVinci Code
4. Harper Lee - TKAMB
5. Victoria Hislop - The Thread
6. Louise Fein - people like us
7. Anthony Horowitz - moonflower murder
8. Lianne Moriarty - apples never fall
9. Ken Follet - The Pillars of The Earth

I read a lot and keep a book log.

I’m going to have series instead of books for some of these (& some of them are out of print).

2. Cotillion by Georgette Heyer

6. The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace & Babbage by Sydney Padua
