One of my favorites of all time that meets this category Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden. It was the first book that kept me up all night reading!
I just finished reading Leaving Montana by Thomas Whaley...Wow!!! This was an incredible journey to have experienced. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for this particular challenge. My only hope is this won't be the only book Mr. Whaley ever writes!
Completion Post:Trigger Warning: Rape
Just finished reading: "The Prophets" by Robert Jones Jr. (★★★★★), it centers on the relationship between Samuel and Isaiah, two slaves in the American South and the ramifications such a relationship has on the plantation. This novel is an epic attempt to imagine a history of Black queerness from the African past to the antebellum American South.
Jones spins a sprawling story of jealousy and passion that foregrounds Black queerness, asserting that queerness has always been part of the Black experience – not just in the slave past, but the African one as well.
I read Conjure Women by Afia Atakora and I really enjoyed it. Beautifully written and absolutely transporting with great plot twists. I am excited to read whatever Atakora writes next.
I just finished A Very Punchable Face. Since it's his first book, he only has 1! It's pretty funny about his life and job at SNL.

I don't think so, if you click on Sylvia Plath it looks like she has a number of published works

Thank you for that link, Lindsey.
Read The Light Between Oceans by M.L. Stedman for this challenge. I really enjoyed this book and couldn't put it down 5 STARS
Early Morning in the Land of Dreams by Marla Cantrell. She is the director at my local library. This is her first book, and she sent a copy to Elizabeth Berg, who liked it so much that she told her agent to give Marla a call!
This one has time travel! The Jane Austen Project by Kathleen A Flynn.

I read "#VERYFAT #VERYBRAVE: The Fat Girl's Guide to Being #Brave and Not a Dejected, Melancholy, Down-in-the-Dumps Weeping Fat Girl in a Bikini" by Nicole Byer
I read The Address Book: What Street Addresses Reveal About Identity, Race, Wealth, and Power by Deirdre Mask, non-fiction. Sounds like it could be boring, but it's about the importance of having an address and all the ways it is difficult to HAVE an address, and the significance of the address you might have. Which I realize also doesn't sound that interesting, but it actually was eye-opening. This book could also be the inspiration for Prompt 15 - a book mentioned in a book. This book mentions The Death and Life of Great American Cities by Jane Jacobs
I read
Olive Bright, Pigeoneer by Stephanie Graves I hope she writes morehttps://titlesurfingwithtraci.blogspo...
