I had Forty Rooms on my list, but I couldn’t really remember why. So, thank you, you’ve convinced me to keep it there! I haven’t seen Miller’s Valley around much either – I haven’t read a book by Anna Quindlen in a long time…

Nice list. My husband loved the novel Before the Wind (he is a sailor) and I plan to get to it too. I haven’t heard of Forty Rooms before, so I will check it out. I’m still forming my list but so far I really liked Behold the Dreamers — my favorite debut novel for sure.

In reply to Marisa @ The Daily Dosage. I almost tagged you in that post because you and April are the only two women I know who fell in love the way I did. I should have included it in my books that didn't get enough love post, but that felt a bit evangelical!

Forty Rooms! Are we the only ones who loved that beauty? After I read it I bought a copy and transferred all my flags from the library copy. Sad it didn’t get much love.

In reply to Melinda. Don't feel guilty! You were probably too busy living life and I just read about it because I can't handle reality. You'll get to them!

I feel so out of it…I haven’t read any of these (yet….)

This is an excellent list! I’m doing mine tomorrow and have only one that overlaps with you, but a few others were in the running. Many thanks to you and Sarah for bringing Before the Wind to my attention. It was great!

Here’s to 2017 being a better year for everything, (Ha! Or, at least for reading!)

Happy New Year!

This post is like the story of our twinness…in sync on the brain candy and family stories and not as much on your very, very favorites! But, yay for some nonfiction on your list!

And – my list will come out tomorrow, but I came very very close to putting Before the Wind on there. Ended up not b/c I’m doing on Underrated Gems post later and it’ll be on that. My uncle’s niece on the other side of the family gave it to my sailor uncle for Xmas! Funny since I’d told him to read it over Thanksgiving.

You’re killing. I’ve just added 40 Rooms (which I’d never heard of) and Before the Wind to my list. Thankfully the others were already there.

I got the Amor Towles lined up to read soon. I am really looking forward to it. The Swans of Fifth Avenue sounds very good too!
