There are way more than this but these are all I can think of off the top of my head. Some are Dragon PoV because I strongly prefer to read those.
Consider The Power and the Glory, a novel about a Mexican priest in a time of persecution.
This book rules

It's subtitled "a love story", which is hella bleak because Mary just loved her fossils, and all those dudes just loved ripping her off.
I hate it when writers overuse the verb "to look" and its other stand-ins.
I remember having to translate this abomination. There aren't nearly enough words in my native language to match the plethora of "looked", "glanced", "peeked", "watched", "gazed", etc. that were so abundant in that book.
I swear, if you took out all those meaningless passages where characters merely looked at details of buildings or clothes, you'd have to take out 2/3 of the whole book.
I was never aware that it was possible to say that X looked at Y in so many ways in the English language.
Are you into classics, or could you enjoy some modern, punchy, gritty and sometimes downright nasty fiction, by the author of Trainspotting, Irvine Welsh?
He writes with a Scottish accent in places, and is not afraid of violence and - well - adult content, but if you are ok with all that malarkey, then might I suggest The Bedroom Secrets of the Master Chefs?
Adult content warning.
If you prefer the classics with a dark twist, then perhaps you should try Goethe's Faust and/or Matthew Lewis' The Monk.
Edit: Hawthorne's The Scarlet Letter is another book that I found intriguing - for being introduced to the way of life, and how to cope with sociological issues, in the 17th Century, in Boston.

I just finished reading "The Crusader" by Michael Alexander Eisner. I was rapt from the very beginning, and feel like this book deserves a lot of credit. He meticulously researched the crusades to be able to tell a tale of war and the reasoning behind it that makes sharp comparison with stuff going on now (Iraq, Afghanistan, etc.). Plus, the corruption involved in the church is just too good not to find fascinating.
I recommend everyone give this a try, especially if you're interested in the time period (8th Crusade, Late 1200's AD).
I enjoyed Israel, My Beloved by Kay Arthur. It imagines Israel as an actual, physical woman, and follows her through the length of her lifetime.

I spent days and days looking for an artist. There are lots of lists of cover artists, and Googling "book cover artist" gets you about 8 million hits. Then you run the risk of finding someone who ends up getting out of the business when you're ready for your next cover in a series.
Deviant Art is a decent place, and I've heard of people having moderate success on Fiverr, but I'm wary of the quality you get at that pricepoint. I recall someone having a Google Docs listing of editors and cover artists several years ago, but I suspect it's woefully out of date now.
It's a long story, but I found one cover artist when my former publisher picked up one of my books. I'm on good terms with her, and will ask her to do the covers on the rest of The Sad Girl series. I had Deranged Doctor Designs do a one-off cover for Don't Stop Believing (Amazon link) and liked it; I might have them do the covers for the next series I'm planning. I like the extra swag they offer as well as their pricing.
