Very nice list, Christine. I loved Parable of the Sower, which will have you remembering 2016 and wondering if the author can see the future.
Mr Mercedes is just a great trilogy overall. No duds!
I liked Red Rising and the Picture of Dorian Gray; and have The Art of Racing in the Rain sitting on a shelf collecting dust.
Good luck and I hope you enjoy your reading!

Interesting mix. Bill Bryson is usually an entertaining read. Dorian Gray was surprising, if I recall. Enjoy all of your selections, Christine
