It's hard to pick 5 favorite novels when you own a bookstore. As you can imagine, Georgia is quite the reader. She loves contemporary fiction, works in translation, poetry, classics and the occasional memoir. Here she picks 5 novels that she thought were great. It's an interesting mix, which is what we would expect from Georgia!

Unforgettable, courageous and provocative. Georgia, Elsie and Melanie all loved it!
The Museum of Innocence by Orhan Pamuk
My favorite author and my favorite of his books. Fabulous story of obsessive love.
A Meal in Winter by Hubert Mingarelli
Moving novella of indecision and sad choices...young Nazi soldiers share a meal with a Jew they have hunted and captured.
After Her by Joyce Maynard
Lots of twists and turns as a killer is flushed years after the crime.
The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros
Young Latina woman living on her own for the first time...poignant and hopeful and funny
