A quick list of books that left a mark but tbh there are so many others and most of the above authors have written other books that I love and there are so many other authors that I always read. I keep thinking of other books but I'll stick to just ten

This is more up my street .

A little life
A hand maids tale and the testaments
Demon copperhead
The beekeeper of Aleppo

More recent reads

These are mine, but I’ve really struggled to whittle the list down to ten!

Pride and Prejudice, Jane Austen
Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë
Demon Copperhead, Barbara Kingsolver
Behind the Scenes at the Museum, Kate Atkinson
David Copperfield, Charles Dickens
Prophet Song, Paul Lynch
I am Pilgrim, Terry Hayes
Girl, Woman, Other, Bernardine Evaristo
The Miniaturist Jessie Burton
The Accidental Tourist, Anne Tyler

Tenko I also read anything by Elizabeth Strout, I think she's a brilliant writer but she's not everyone's cup of tea as she writes extremely profoundly about the lives of very ordinary people. I love her books but friends have found her boring!
