Last year I started going through the entire alphabet, one letter per month. For January 2022, the thirteenth month of my endeavor, I’m listing all of my favourite novels that begin with the letter ‘M‘. I am choosing these titles from the books I’ve read since I began this blog. There are 15 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.
“Magpie Lane” by Lucy Atkins
“A Man Called Ove” by Fredrik Backman
“A Measured Thread” by Mary Behan
“Malagash” by Joey Comeau
“Mercy House” by Alena Dillon
“The Missing Ones” by Patricia Gibney
“Mile Marker 139” by Cynthia Hilston
“The Music Shop” by Rachel Joyce
“Miss Benson’s Beetle” by Rachel Joyce
“Margreete’s Harbor” by Eleanor Morse
“Miller’s Valley” by Anna Quindlen
“Murder, Forgotten” by Deb Richardson-Moore
“Missing, Presumed” by Susie Steiner
“My Name is Lucy Barton” by Elizabeth Strout

If you have already read any of these titles, I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comments.

Thanks. These are all great. I absolutely loved “My Cousin Rachel” as well. For these posts I’ve only included those titles that I’ve reviewed on my blog and I read that many, many years before I began blogging.

Two Rachel Joyce, one Backman, and one Strout – that’s a great list! I’d love to read “Margreete’s Harbor” – I tried but didn’t get the ARC.

“Margreete’s Harbor” was a great little book well worth the read. I’ll be on the lookout for more books by Eleanor Morse. Thanks Davida.

Magpie Lane is wonderful..spooky,suspenseful,has a “hero”who throws out bits of arcane knowledge that need to be followed up at the end,a sympathetic heroine and child character.One of my favourite books ever

I want to read Magpie Lane and both the Rachel Joyce books. Mile Marker 139 is a book that needs more hype. I am glad to see it on your list. I really liked it as well.

Carla I really agree with you about “Mile Marker 139”. The author of that book has a new one out called “Murder, it’s all in your head” which is on my TBR.
