Second Anniversary: Ten Best Books of the Year!
Tomorrow is my second anniversary of keeping this blog. So, here I am with my second list of the year’s best ten books. This list is fairly arbitrary, because to get it down to ten books, I had to make some tough decisions. As with last year’s list, these books were not necessarily published in the past year. They are just the ten best from the ones I reviewed, in the order I reviewed them.
- River of Smoke by Amitav Ghosh
- Persuasion by Jane Austen
- Life After Life by Kate Atkinson
- Pawn in Frankincense by Dorothy Dunnett
- A Visit from the Goon Squad by Jennifer Egan
- The Strangled Queen by Maurice Druon
- Brother of the More Famous Jack by Barbara Trapido
- The Orphan Master’s Son by Adam Johnson
- The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert
- Independent People by Halldór Laxness
