What books have you enjoyed this year? Any recommendations?
You've read loads! I've been trying to get back in to reading.... my favourites this year has to be The Sugar Girls & The Secret Keeper. Not sure they'll be your cup of tea but I really enjoyed them :) x
ReplyDeleteI managed a big fat zero on the reading front last year, the problem when you have a little person to look after but have accumulated many many books that sit unread on my shelves and stored in my kindle. A have resolved to read as much as I can this year and have done a list on my blog. A couple on your list here I have, unread.
ReplyDeleteI keep meaning to read Enigma and Fatherland, because I really loved Archangel.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite two books I read in 2012 were The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey and Snowdrops by A.D. Miller. I also really liked The Fault in Our Stars!
How about 'Thinks...' by David Lodge? Clever and fun, like Stephen Hawking in a ball pool.
