I think my plan is to get to 100 and then compile one list. I might even break it out into fiction and non-fiction.
1. Jitterbug Perfume - Tom Robbins
2. A Natural History of the Senses - Diane Ackerman
3. Perfume: The Story of a Murderer - Patrick Suskind
4. Tender at the Bone - Ruth Reichl
5. White Oleander - Janet Fitch
6. The Secret History - Donna Tartt
7. Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell - Susanna Clarke
8. The Book of Lost Things - John Connolly
9. The Book of Dead Days - Marcus Sedgwick
10. Absurdistan - Gary Shteyngart
And, as usual, this list is overflowing and getting ready for the next one….kinda love this.

I didn't know this book but having just read excerpts from it I think it may become one of my favourites too!
