My Top 5 for the year:
My Invented Country by Isabel Allende -- mostly memoir, but travel narrative and history, too.
Spilling the Beans by Clarissa Dickson Wright -- memoir of hitting rock bottom as an alcoholic and coming back.
Until I Say Good-Bye by Susan Spencer-Wendel -- yet another memoir, this time by a forty-something mother of three with ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), naturally I felt for her family, but the book isn't sad at all!
The Way We Live Now by Anthony Trollope -- yes, it's a big, fat tome ... one that sucked me in right away!
The Good House by Ann Leary -- you'll want to shake the protagonist of this novel ... many times! I listened to it at bedtime, finding myself eagerly awaiting the next installment during the day.
