Leigh, glad to hear you loved The Lake House! I will remember to look for The Forgotten Garden next.

Picked up Gabourey Sidibe's This is Just My Face: Try Not to Stare at the library yesterday and zipped right through it.
She's hilarious and inspiring, and I hope she writes more. And hey, that was one last quick read for the year's book count, so off to GoodReads to add it. Up next is The Vanishing Act of Esme Lennox by Maggie O'Farrell. I'd had it bookmarked for ages and got it mostly because I was in the branch where the book was shelved. For whatever reason I kept not putting it on hold. Time to clear off my bedside table, since I'm pretty clearly not going to finish some of the stuff that's been piled there for ages. New start for the new year. ![]()

What books have you read this past year that you really liked?
The top hits of my year seem to be the two Becky Chambers books, The Long Way to A Small Angry Planet and A Close and Common Orbit. I've read them both twice in 2017. Jane Steele by Lyndsay Faye is darkly hilarious if you're in the mood for a mashup of Jane Eyre and Dexter. I keep track of books I finish on GoodReads and it seems that I've read a number of Claire North books this year. She seems to be a solid author. I'm not sure why Ken Grimwood's Replay never got my attention before, but it's a good one. Ghost story? Sparrow Hill Road by Seanan McGuire is good. Oh, and Gabourey Sidibe's This is Just My Face: Try Not to Stare was wonderful, but since I only finished it this morning I'm a bit reluctant to add it to the best of the year list, LOL! Anybody else want to share?
