| Secrets of Eden : a novel |
| Bohjalian, Christopher A. |
| I like a lot of Bohjalian's work because many of them seem to have a twist at the end. This one is no different. Couldn't sleep the night I finished it; I just couldn't stop thinking about it! |

| The lovely bones : a novel |
| Sebold, Alice. |
| Beautifully heartbreaking. Will make you think of your lost loved ones fondly and wonder about life after death. The book is WAY better than the movie, but the movie is worth seeing AFTER you've read the book. |

| American wife : a novel |

| Loosely based on the life of Laura Bush. Very interesting take on how we can't always help who we fall in love with and how our inner strength is so important. |
