Wow....It's that time of the year again! Though I love to get my list posted....it's absolutely gut-wrenching narrowing down my book lists to the only 12 + 4. And so...here it is....I'm settled. It is what it is. Can't wait to dig in! Good luck all!

4. The Jungle by Upton Sinclair
5. U.S.! by Chris Bachelder
6. Madame Bovary by Gustave Flaubert
7. The World According to Garp by John Irving
8. The Secret Keeper by Kate Morton
9. The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zeven
10. Redeployment by Phil Klay
11. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
12. Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel

Plus 4 alternates:

2. The Secret Life of CeeCee Wilkes by Diane Chamberlain
3. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
4. Waiting for Snow in Havana: Confessions of a Cuban Boy by Carlos Eire

And.....done. And done.

Nice!!! I think that mine is ready to post too, I'll get on that one tonight!

10 done so far.....reading The Jungle now and will follow that with U.S.! That's the plan so far. I will finish this year! SO far.....no disappointments on the list....YAY!!!

Awesome! I have read 7 of mine. I don't know what's happened to me this year, but I haven't been doing much reading... Only 13 books so far! I have a lot of catching up to do in order to finish my 2015 Challenge!

How was All the Light We Cannot See? I want to read that one!

Sonja....ATLWCS was AWESOME!!! And I'm officially DONE with reading 12 on my list. Earliest EVER. WOW. YAY ME!!!

NICE!!!! My DEO told me not to read ATLWCS because it was too depressing. I'm going to read it now!

I read All the Light We Cannot Seea couple of weeks ago. It was very good. Jenni, your DEO is right that it is depressing, but any good WWII historical fiction has that tendency.

True. It's on my 2016 list. I will read it!
