M's Favourite Books by Most Read Authors

I have read at least two books by each author in this list. I am sure several choices are influenced by recency bias, which compels me to do some rereading. It was nearly impossible to pick one book over another for a few authors, but I persevered and stuck to the format. Otherwise, it would have been a draw for Douglas Stuart (Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo), Elena Ferrante (all four Neapolitan Novels), and Leila Slimani (Perfect Nanny and Adele).
