Best novel of the year so far is Naomi Krupitsky's The Family, about two girls who grow up in Mafia families. Though the author occasionally got a little too carried away with her prose, this was a beautifully written debut, and I will definitely be on the lookout for her next book.

Other favorite novels this year were three books with ballet settings--The Turnout by Megan Abbott, Watch Her Fall by Erin Kelly, and Astonish Me (2014) by Maggie Shipstead. Abbott and Kelly are longtime favorites, and did not disappoint. I also liked Sarah Langan's Good Neighbors and Alison Gaylin's The Collective.

I was pretty happy with most of the fiction I read this year, though the books from some of my go-to authors (including Harlan Coben, Linwood Barclay, and Peter Swanson) were letdowns.

Nonfiction later.
