Fearless-Onion-6838 on April 17, 2025 9:02 pm Outlander by Diane Gabaldon. I was on a family trip in France and binge-read that book in a matter of days.

Sweet_Plantain_6774 on April 17, 2025 9:08 pm I was crazy for Wild Dark Shore. Could barely put it down
sd_glokta on April 17, 2025 9:14 pm The Quincunx by Charles Palliser – starts slow and then picks up quickly
ECV_Analog on April 17, 2025 9:14 pm The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier & Clay by Michael Chabon Mary Tyler Moorehawk by Dave Baker (although it’s part graphic novel and thus a quicker read).
