You read some really good and interesting books this year, Amy. I have several on my to-get list that you read: The Round Dance (I just went and read your review also), The Dog Stars, The Age of Miracles, Gone Girl (I'm up to #459 on my library wait list!), The Twelve. I wonder which ones will be your picks of the year, too?
Have a happy new Year, Amy, I wish you and your family all the best. Lots of reading time for you, too!
What an impressive list! Happy New Year Amy!
Well done, Amy!
