This year I plan to go through the entire alphabet, one letter per month. For May 2021, the fifth month, I’m listing all of my favourite novels that begin with the letter ‘E‘. I am choosing these titles from the books I’ve read since I began blogging seriously – five years ago (when I retired). There are 9 books recommended here.
If the title begins with an initial article such as The, A, An etc., I will be using the second word. For instance, “A Man called Ove” will be included in my M post. “The Silent Patient” will be listed in my S post.
Hopefully you’ll find something that interests you from these posts. As always, I’ve linked the book cover to Goodreads, and the title link will take you to my review of the book.
“Exit” by Belinda Bauer
“Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine” by Gail Honeyman
“Evil Games” by Angela Marsons
“Everything My Mother Taught Me” by Alice Hoffman
“Exquisite” by Sarah Stovell
“Epitaph” by Anita Waller
“Eudora Honeysett is Quite Well, Thank You” by Annie Lyons
“Entry Island” by Peter May
“Everything She Forgot” by Lisa Ballantyne
If you have already read any of these titles, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

When someone asks me to recommend a book…
Great choices, especially “Eleanor Oliphant…”. I, too, was going to ask “how about “Educated” and “East of Eden”?, two really interesting and culturally enlightening books. Also, suggest the mysteries “Evil Under the Sun” by Agatha Christie and “E is for Evidence” by Sue Grafton, two of my favorite writers. “Eat, Pray, Love” is another one, but I’ve never read it. This was fun!

Thanks Caroline 😊 I’m glad you liked this post. I’m only including novels that I’ve read and reviewed over the past 5 1/2 years on the blog, but your suggestions are great ones. I remember loving the Sue Graftin series, but I read most of them around two decades ago.

I read Eleanor Oliphant and enjoyed it very much. What about East of Eden by Steinbeck, or Educated by Tara Westover?

I haven’t yet read “Educated” Elizabeth and I read “East of Eden” decades ago, so before I began blogging. Thanks so much for adding two more worthy E books though. I always appreciate your comments. 😍
