Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow was my favorite book of the year and the one I recommended most. The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, Delicious! and Horse (possible recency bias) are all high on my list of enjoyable reads as well. There were a number that I struggled through this year. I wanted to like The Cartographers so much more than I did. Gator Country was a mess. The Bolt Supremacy didn't do it for me and neither did Translating Myself and Others.
I have the sense that I could do better at picking books that I'd like before I start reading them, but as I'm making this list I really don't see that many that I could have avoided. Back to the stacks!
