In reply to Becca. I'm so happy to find another Sycamore fan. I thought it was brilliant, but so few people have read it. It's truly a hidden gem. You're right about The Current being similar, but I also liked Sycamore better. Thanks for stopping by.

I love that you included Sycamore! I am also always trying to get people to read it! I can’t remmeber your thoughts on The Current, but I especially push it on readers who like that book, although I enjoyed Sycamore more. There’s a similar vibe though.

I think we might have Sycamore at our hometown library (where I also work). I’ll have to see if that’s the case.

In reply to susan. Thanks so much for your always thoughtful comments, Susan. I'm excited to see you list for 2017. It will be interesting to see how much overlap we have. I actually didn't like Home Fire very well, so I guess that won't be one!

In reply to Lindsay. Sounds like we have similar taste in at least several books, so hopefully that means you'll also like We Were the Lucky ones.

Nice list! I always meant to get to If We Were Villains but then didn’t. You remind me again, I must get to it. I plan to get to The Power too, hopefully on audio. I was impressed by Daring to Drive and so happy women will be able to drive in Saudi Arabia starting sometime in 2018. I like your categories. One of my favorites for 2017 was Home Fire. I’m still coming up with my favorite list.

I loved Eleanor Oliphant, Evelyn Hugo and Invisible Furies as well! For some reason I was initially hesitant about We Were the Lucky Ones, but I’ve seen so many rave reviews that I will definitely make a point to read it next year. Same goes for The Power.

Yes, I fully expected to see Heart’s up at the top of your list. Now you have me curious about the other one.

That’s interesting about when Heart’s was released and not getting much buzz. Did they not expect it to be as well liked? Why not release it at a better time of year? I’m really looking forward to seeing your list.
