[chicaguapa]

1 month to go and I already know that this will be the best book I read this year. I absolutely loved it. It's £2.99 for the Kindle version and you'll want to read it again as soon as you finish.

The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

[FriskyMare]

Ooh have just bought that for dd for Christmas.
Mine is The Other Typist by Suzanne Rindell

[JohnFarleysRuskin]

The goldfinch (Donna tart)

Or

The paying guests. (Sarah waters)

[HindsightisaMarvellousThing]

I came on this thread to say I'd need two books - The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and also Life after Life by Kate Atkinson. I've been rereading them both alternately for ages.

[WineWineWine]

The Girl who Saved The King of Sweden

An excellent follow up book to The 100 year old man.

[ASmidgeofMidge]

Another vote for The Paying Guests

The Miniaturist by Jessie Burton

[Celticlass2]

The Seige by Helen Dunmore. Anna Funder All that I am. lots of fantastic books downloaded on my kindle. Love this time of year for reading.

[Celticlass2]

Almost forgot. I re-read A suitable Boy. Even better the second time around.

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

I've enjoyed a few, but Fanny and Stella would be high up the list, as would Bitch in a Bonnet and Coronation Everest. I'd need to check back on the 50 book challenge threads to remember more.

[Stuffofawesome]

Second Goldfinch. Also The Circle by Dave Eggers

[KiaOraOAotearoa]

The Goldfinch :)

[RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie]

Must remember to read, 'The Circle.'

[RustyBear]

Augustus by John Williams

[GlaceCherries]

Oooh I was thinking of "Harry August" as my choice too! Closely followed by David Mitchell's "The Bone Clocks".

I really did not like Life After Life, what a waste of my time

[Ashwagandha]

Love love loved What Alice Forgot by Liane Moriarty.

[DevonFolk]

State of Wonder by Ann Patchett. Beautiful genius.

[VerucaInTheNutRoom]

Life After Life. Probably not the best in literary terms but it stayed in my head for weeks after.

[dollybird]

The Time Travellers Wife for me. I am just about to start The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty so hope that's good too!

[starlightloz]

Any Seaside Town by John Peaseland

[fredfredsausagehead1]

Life after life the ending really stuck with me

Love love loving the goldfinch!

[Southeastdweller]

The Goldfinch is a masterpiece of writing and my book of the year.

[magimedi]

The Goldfinch is also my vote.

But am of fto look at Any Seaside Town - just the title intrigues me.

[SkaterGrrrrl]

We Are All Completely Beside Ourselves

[minsmum]

The Goldfinch would be my choice as well

Another vote for The Goldfinch.
