I think that the list is a nice mix of both old and new books. I am kind of sad to say that only two of the twenty-two are nonfiction. I am going to try to do better with that this year!
What's that? You need it narrowed down? Ok, out of the above list, here are the top eleven:
Room-Emma
Donoghue
Three
Junes-Julia Glass
Cutting
for Stone-Abraham Verghese
Drowning
Ruth-Christina Schwartz
Olive
Kitteridge-Elizabeth Strout
Scout,
Atticus & Boo-Mary Murphy McDonagh
Mudbound-Hillary Jordan
Two
Rivers-t.greenwood
The
Last Days of Ptolemy Grey-Walter Mosley
Homer
and Langley-EL Doctrow
The
Patron Saint of Liars-Anne Patchett
Still not narrow enough? This is the best that I can do:
Room-Emma
Donoghue
Drowning
Ruth-Christina Schwartz
Scout,
Atticus & Boo-Mary Murphy McDonagh
Mudbound-Hillary Jordan
The
Patron Saint of Liars-Anne Patchett
You will just have to read them for yourselves if you want to make the list smaller...I just can't choose.
