 | The Crimson Petal and the White by Michel Faber
Buy new: £6.96 / Used from: £0.01 The most captivating, gripping story I can ever imagine, with the best characters, especially Sugar and Agnes
|
 | Lolita (Penguin Classics) by Vladimir Nabokov
Buy new: £5.34 / Used from: £1.67 The most beautifully written book I can ever imagine! Ada or Ardor is pretty gorgeous to read too, but can't compete.
|
 | Bridget Jones's Diary: A Novel by Helen Fielding
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £0.01 Just utterly hilarious. I must have read this at least once a year since the mid 90s, bit scary that I'm actually approaching 30-something life myself now, argh!
|
 | Fingersmith by Sarah Waters
Buy new: £4.49 / Used from: £0.01 Cracking story with brilliant twists and strong female characters, very exciting.
|
 | The Observations by Jane Harris
Buy new: £4.99 / Used from: £0.01 Another Victorian set one (I do love them!), told in the first person with an amazing protagonist, who in my opinion is better than Holden Caulfield (don't shoot me!)
|
 | Captain Corelli's Mandolin by Louis De Bernieres
Buy new: £4.95 / Used from: £0.01 At the time I read this, I thought it was the most romantic, heartbreaking thing ever. I've always been unwilling to go back to it, in case I discover it was due to my teen hormones!
|
 | I Capture the Castle (Vintage Classics) by Dodie Smith
Buy new: £5.96 / Used from: £0.01 Did read this one again recently, and I can confirm it's greatness is not down to teen hormones!
|

Buy new: £5.49 / Used from: £0.01 Wonderful trash horror, a real page turner
|
 | Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden
Buy new: £4.94 / Used from: £0.01 Been many years since I last read this, but I think part of it's appeal was the way it pulled you into a world that felt really authentic
|
 | Tulip Fever by Deborah Moggach
Buy new: £5.71 / Used from: £0.01 Tense edge-of-your seat historical thriller, with romance and twists galore
|
 | The Time Traveler's Wife by Audrey Niffenegger

|
 | The Handmaid's Tale (Contemporary classics) by Margaret Atwood

Listmania!
