Nophoto-m-50x66 Plus I'm wanting to read Blindness a lot since I found out about it. It was linked to "Perfume" when I was reading up on it after seeing the movie. I've since read the book for Perfume and really enjoyed it. Something about connecting to the senses and their power over us. Any other suggestions?

Nophoto-m-50x66 What is it with all these books I keep seeing
The Time Traveler's Wife
The Captain's Daughter
The Zookeeper's Wife: A War Story
The Senator's Wife
The Memory Keeper's Daughter
The Florist's Daughter
The Gravedigger's Daughter
The Hummingbird's Daughter
etc?
Seems like I saw these everywhere on my visit home, and like there's some current trend.
