[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wrong Place Wrong Time (twisty, non-linear thriller)

The Latecomer (somewhat sprawling novel about a family with triplets and a fourth sibling who comes much later - interesting characters doing relatively normal things but with excellent inner lives that are shared slowly)

Sea of Tranquility, by Emily St. John Mandel (Excellent novel by the author of Station Eleven (which I liked somewhat but did not love) - time-travel novel that spans our relatively recent past to quite a bit forward in the future, all connected in a plot that includes some interesting social and psychological commentary. Hard to explain, but I truly loved it. Also really liked The Glass Hotel by the same author. I think she wrote it before Sea of Tranquilty, but I read it after. The two books are lightly linked through a few characters, but they're also great stand-alone stories, too.)

Sea of Tranquility was great

If you want something absolutely idiotic but fun, I liked Suburban Dicks and its sequel the Self Made Widow - they're mysteries involving a bored former FBI agent who's given up her career to be endlessly pregnant and her friend, a disgraced reporter trying to get his mojo back.[/quote]
