Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson. I was so much impressed with this book that I bought a few additional copies and gave them to my friends and asked them to read.

Definitely The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo. It has lgbtq themes though, and most people I know wouldn't appreciate the book like they should, or are simply too homophobic too see its beauty.

For me that might be "The Historian" by Elizabeth Kostova. I loved the scenery that the book travels through, and as a post-grad I could identify with some of the academic aspects in the book. Of course adding the hunt for Dracula to this made it a fun read.

Another candidate is "A Year in Provence" by Peter Mayle which might be more palatable to some of the people I know. It is just a lovely look into a different lifestyle on the other side of the world...

I agree with you Linda S 1. That was a really good book. I enjoyed reading it thoroughly, and the movie was decent also.

I currently reading Atomic Habits[i/] by James Clear, and I have spent this entire week recommending it to friends and family. It's really great and extremely helpful.
An all time favourite of mine that I will never tire of talking about is Purple Hibiscus[i/] by Chimamanda Adichie. It was like Adichie looked right into my soul and pulled that book out of it

For me it was "The Knowing by Sarah Elmore

She gave me back my love for reading with an amazingly written and well edited book. It was full of every genre from romance to paranormal. Ive since been sharing it with everyone i know who will possibly read it! Lol and reading everything i can get my hands on again after 2 years no books!

Whats yours?
There are a lot of them actually. Any good book is what recommending. But the best for me is Awareness by Anthony De Mello

Atomic Habits by James Clear. There's just something about this book that captivated me. I found myself telling everyone I knew about it. It's a great read for sure.
