I hope you had a great holiday season and have a great new year ahead :)<br /><br />Small Great Things was definitely noteworthy and I would recommend it, but the honourable mentions were the ones knocked off the top. I tried this year to break it down into categories and have one from each genre that I read, so they were pipped to the post so to speak. <br /><br />Most of the authors on my list this year are newer up-and-coming, lesser known, or indie authors so it's an added bonus to be able to promote new talent that perhaps people aren't aware of. Not that better known authors don't deserve the mention, but Jodi's book has a huge buzz going on about already and I think it's going to fly off the shelves. <br /><br />I think you would also enjoy Beloved Poison. It's historical fiction. A mystery/crime novel set in Victorian London and I couldn't put it down. It's the author's debut novel and it's a wonderful, atmospheric, well written debut. Never thought my top read of the year would be a historical fiction book lol.Scarlet Aingealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08455734063095250983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-954465279390345937.post-31326755044357352102017-01-02T07:51:29.279+00:002017-01-02T07:51:29.279+00:00I realise that every such list is both personal an...I realise that every such list is both personal and limited. But I was eagerly scrolling through, looking for Jodi Picoult's 'small great things'. You had given it a good review with 4 stars and it is on my to-buy list (the book has not been released yet). So now I'm wondering why it did not make it to even the honorable mentions ;-)muskaanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13125166115615109271noreply@blogger.com
