The Best Book Club Reads EVER!!!
My favourite books in the last 6 months
This was so hard to do! I have read quite a lot of great books so far this year and I have loved them for different reasons. After much deliberation and trying to pick 3 from different genres (literary, classics, crime/thriller) I have come up with the following. All three were amazing and I can highly recommend them all:
Corrag - Susan Fletcher
Corrag by Susan Fletcher
East Lynne - Ellen Wood
East Lynne by Ellen Wood
The Snowman - Jo Nesbo
The Snowman by Jo Nesbo
What have beenyour favourite books so far this year?
Love the milestone! You have had an amazing 6 months!
I would really have to think about the best book(s) I have read this year, I have enjoyed so many!
Thanks Sheila
You have certainly seemed to enjoy lots of books this year – I will be interested to see what gets your vote at the end of the year.
Congratulations on your first six months! I’m going to try to read Corrag next month and I already have Wolf Totem on the pile for August, so it looks as though I’ll be having a Book Whisperer Summer!
Hurray for a Book Whisperer Summer!! I hope you love them both, Jackie
well done on your first 6 months boof ,all the best stu
Congratulations on your six months of blogging.
My favorite novel of the year (so far) is Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand by Helen Simonson; and my favorite non-fiction book so far is The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot.
Love your mid year post. You are doing terrific.
I can’t believe you’ve only been blogging for 6 months it seems like it should be longer! Enjoyed your round-up and looking forward to the next 6 months…I need to read East Lynne now
