This is my favorite book by Barbara Kingsolver by far, but that might just be because I listened to this one rather than reading it.

Silas Marner
Although I’m normally a huge fan of George Eliot’s writing, I just didn’t care for this novella of hers.
The Uninhabited House
If you’re looking for a classic, Victorian ghost story that doesn’t take too long to read, this book is for you.
Pemberley Shades
The only thing the author got right about this sequel was the characters, and I did love getting to hang out with them again.
My Plain Jane
This book manages to combine a retelling of Jane Eyre with an alternate history of Charlotte Brontë’s life with a ghost story, and it’s awesome!
A High Wind in Jamaica
I think this book is supposed to be revealing something about human nature by writing about children, but the author clearly knows nothing about children.
The Parable of the Talents
I think I enjoyed this book, but it involves everything from gun violence to sexual assault to slavery to child endangerment and kidnapping, so consider yourself warned.
Think and Grow Rich
This book was not at all what I expected, and while I disagreed with parts of it, ultimately I appreciated the actionable tips it provided.
Battlefield Earth
This book was ridiculous and badly written, but for some reason I just couldn’t put it down.
The Last Unicorn
I’m glad I finally read this classic, but it just didn’t live up to the hype. I would have enjoyed it more if I had read it as a kid.
