In prior years, I've made my best-of list before the very end of the year. Sometimes that's been fine. Other times, I've ended the year with a book I wish I would have put on the list. Like this year. Tana French's Faithful Place nudged out her The Secret Place at the end. I actually read four of her books this year and I liked all of them a lot. But Faithful Place stood out.
Some books appear on both my fiction and audiobook lists. My nonfiction reads were a big disappointment in 2015, very few standouts. Hoping to improve on that in 2016! The books are in no particular order other than that Station Eleven and Life After Life are definitely my two favorites books of the year. Were any of these hits with you?
