Five favorite books by female authors
By goldenforest2004
Trying to make myself read more women than men this year. What 5 books would you suggest? I’m open to pretty much anything — classics, romance, horror, sci-fi, poetry, nonfiction.
A few favorites I’ve already read this year:
- Beloved by Toni Morrison
- 40,000 in Gehenna by C.J. Cherryh
- Black Wave by Kim Ghattas
- The Awakening by Kate Chopin
- To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
L.M. Montgomery (Anne of Green Gables, etc.), but for adults?
By aqua_sparrow4801
Hi! I’m a big fan of LMM’s YA books, and I just finished one of her adult novels, The Blue Castle, and I really loved it. I’m now trying to find something similar—so if anyone has suggestions, I’d be super grateful.
I’d prefer older/not-modern type settings. It doesn’t have to be in Canada, but I’d love romance to be part of it if it fits, even if it’s not the main focus.
