Tuyo Fairy Tale Lessons in Chemistry
There are some really great books represented in this list - some very hyped and popular all over the internet, and some very quiet but equally good reads. I am surprised to see that I read three Stephen King books this year after having not read anything by him in quite a few years. And they were all really good and very different from each other.
If I had to pick favorites of the year, I have two. The Spear Cuts Through Water is such an unusual and amazing book, I'd love for it to have a wider audience. The Island of Missing Trees is maybe more main stream and certainly easier to read and enjoy and I will (and do) recommend it to everyone.
I'm so eager to start perusing the various end of year BEST lists - I'm sure my TBR will explode once again, but I don't want to miss a potential great book! Did any of these make your 'best of' list?
