Hello Beautiful by Ann Napolitano
A wonderful story about family, forgiveness and unconditional love. Runner-up: The Wedding People by Alison Espach -- a story about crawling out of depression and starting over, which actually manages to be funny too |
Wolves of Eternity - Knausgaard |
No Ordinary Bird by Artis Henderson.
Fantastic. |
The audiobook of The Wedding People was phenomenal. Definitely one of my favorite books of the year. |

This is an old book but --
An Old Man Who Reads Love Stories by Luis Sepulveda. It's short, and deals with themes of growing old and nature and man's interaction with it. It's a little like Old Man and the Sea, but not Hemingway-esque. But it's an Old Man whose got to deal with some sh*t relating to how scary nature can be....and there's a lot of flashbacks to how he ended up where he is. I thought it was a good combination of thoughtful and philosophical but also good character development and basically an adventure story. |
