The Best of the Rest

I've had a few requests for a longer list of the best books of the past 4 years. Find the original list (and in my opinion the truly BEST of teh best) HERE.

But for those of you looking to legnthen your own reading list, here are my next 13 books.  Again, in no particular order:

Here we go:
14) The Story of Edgar Sawtelle     by. David Wroblewski
15) Half Broke Horses                   by. Jeannette Walls  (**Note, this is best if you've read The Glass Castle)
16) Kindness of Strangers              by. Katrina Kittle
17) Kabul Beauty School               by. Deborah Rodriquez
18) Any Bitter Thing                      by. Monica Wood
19) Loving Frank                           by. Nancy Horan
20) Bel Canto                                by Ann Patchett
21) Peony in Love                          by. Lisa See
22) Birth of Venus                          by. Sarah Dunant
23) In the Woods                           b. Tana French
24) Me and Emma                         by. Elizabeth Flock
25) A 1,000 Spendid Suns               by. Khaled Hosseini
26) The Cotton Queen                   by. Pamela Morsi


So there you have it. The next 13. Not to be confused with the first 13 which are truly my top picks. But who am I to deny people who want to read good books?

So, keep on reading. And make sure to share your own recommendations with me!!
