I have many discerning book reading friends, I recently discovered.
When I tried googling best books of 2015, and 2015, I found myself uninspired and confused. Then I decided to ask my friends. I threw a line out on Facebook.
I asked my friends, ‘Any recommendations for well-written, can’t-put-down reads….your personal favourites?’
Remarkably, I received more than 70 suggestions from almost as many people.
What am I supposed to do with this sort of cornucopia? Obviously, share it in a post.
So, here is the list–some from yesteryear, others hot off the press. Some I’ve read, and some I’m not likely too. But way more than enough that appeal to me, and that I will indubitably enjoy.
I have to say that I was a bit lazy in copying the books across from my FB post. As you can see, I haven’t included the authors’ names. I’m assuming you can look them up and probably will want to read a review before you purchase.
What did I choose for my next treat? A digital book titled HHHH; it has humour, history, biography, and plenty of asides from the author.
I also selected an audio book from the list for our long drives–A LittleLife. It’s a book that was high on quite a few of your faves list.
