Books to read

[niccig]

Now that I can put away the textbooks for a month, I have some reading to catch up. What books did you enjoy this year?

Unbroken was a great read -- started reading Seabiscuit as a result (not read yet)
Atul Gawande "Being Mortal" was also a great read and easy
David and Goliath was a good read -- short
The Paris Wife

I enjoyed the Robert Galbraith books- Cuckoo's Calling and The Silkworm.

I read a lot of smutty paranormal books
I can list you a bunch of those

I liked Mr. Mercedes by Stephen King. No gore, more psychological thriller.
What Alice Forgot and The Husband's Secret by Liane Moriarty.

Probably more I can't think of, LOL. I have been wanting to read Big Little Lies, The Silkworm, The Paris Wife and Unbroken.

I liked Graceling and its companion book Fire. I have Bitterblue but haven't read it yet. The author is Cashore.

I'm blanking at the moment, I read about a book a week, plus the ones DS reads in school, some of which are quite good, for example Dark Water Rising.

eta: When She Came Home, The Dressmaker of Khair Khana, The Last Runaway, Nowhere but Home, An Echo Through Snow, It Happened at the Fair. These are books I either suggested for our book club or read as part of the book club. I am considering starting a book list of everything I read with a + or - since I can't remember everything I read (my 80yo aunt does this but my mind is a sieve sometimes, does anyone else track what they read?).

I read Unbroken at some point, uncomfortable tough one, I don't plan to see the movie as the mental images were enough.

I second Robert Galbraith's "The Cuckcoo's calling" and "The Silkworm".
Liane Moriarty's "The Husband's Secret" and "Big Little Lies" are really good. The stories were set in Australia.
Jojo Moyes's "One Plus One"

For nonfiction I really like "Running for My Life" by Lopez Lomong.
