Everyone recommends The Awakening…it must be a great book so I’m happy to see it on your list! You have a great list overall though. Are you hoping for any particular number?

5, 15 or 18 for sure. Sappho seems fascinating, and I adored ‘The Yellow Wallpaper’s quiet madness – but who can resist a good poetry collection like Tsvetaeva? 😉
