amyreads recommends God-Shaped Hole by Tiffanie DeBartolo

norabelle414 recommends Enchantment by Orson Scott Card

norabelle414 recommends Love in The Time of Cholera by Gabriel García Márquez

MissPip recommends Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro, "Serious, contemporary literature of first rate caliber. Wearing a interesting mantle of science fiction, this alternative history of Britain relies on (see more) heart-breakingly real emotion and impeccable writing, rather than scientific cleverness, to entertain, endear, and allow us to empathize with these all-too-human characters."

cataylor recommends The Mercy of Thin Air: A Novel by Ronlyn Domingue

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 015602943X, Paperback)

A dazzling novel in the most untraditional fashion, this is the remarkable story of Henry DeTamble, a dashing, adventuresome librarian who travels involuntarily through time, and Clare Abshire, an artist whose life takes a natural sequential course. Henry and Clare's passionate love affair endures across a sea of time and captures the two lovers in an impossibly romantic trap, and it is Audrey Niffenegger's cinematic storytelling that makes the novel's unconventional chronology so vibrantly triumphant.

An enchanting debut and a spellbinding tale of fate and belief in the bonds of love, The Time Traveler's Wife is destined to captivate readers for years to come.
