What have all these novels got in common?

I think what caught my attention is that they all a take step outside the ordinary in terms of plot or character or setting or theme. Yet they all still fit perfectly into their selected genre. Each book managed to challenge and stretch my thinking while still entertaining me, and that’s what makes a top read.
