Books you particularly enjoyed this year

[whatausername]

Provincial Lady's Daughter (R.M. Dashwood) surprised me! Quite funny in some parts.
The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde) I liked a lot.
The Perks of Being a Wallflower, at one point I thought it was the same navel-gazing every teen has with the exact same analysis every teen has but it got better and the twist surprised me.
The Reluctant Fundamentalist, by Mohsin Hamid, I read in two days, something a bit different!

Edit: Stephen Chbosky was author of Wallflower. Had to go and search.

The Seven Sisters' series. Am saving the last one for after Christmas. Read so many FB posts about them I thought I'd try them, not thinking I'd really get on with them. I've been blown away. Not great literature, but so clever in a very subtle way.

Also enjoyed A Tidy Ending by Joanna Cannon, which I also thought was clever. The reader is led on a merry dance indeed!
