I’m removing titles as requested above, including Hild–“lukewarm” is closest enough to a veto, especially when we have other equally good choices. I like the non-fiction/fiction pair–good idea, NJTheatreMOM. Also, I think I’ll veto Burr because my sense is that it’s not in anyone’s top five.
The Fishermen by Chigozie Obioma
Far from the Madding Crowd by Thomas Hardy
The House of Mirth by Edith Wharton
To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf
Duet: West with the Night by Beryl Markham and Circling the Sun by Paula McLain
The Unlikely Spy by Daniel Silva
Six titles is a good number for voting. Go ahead and rank your top three!
(P.S. @MommaJ, all opinions are valuable! Sounds like it was the right decision for us to remove My Brilliant Friend and The Buried Giant from consideration.)
