Ahh! So glad to see This Is Not a Book About Benedict Cumberbatch here! It is so good and has not had anywhere near enough love.

My library copy was so filled with sticky notes I had to buy one.

The Measure -- read it from cover to cover in one sitting that included falling asleep in the recliner, waking up making tea and continuing to read it -- I have bought 3 copies to give as Xmas gifts. Also thought Lessons in Chemistry was excellent.

I keep hearing great things about The Measure. So many books, so little time.

Pretty sure that I requested Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow from my library based on your review. Finished it in about three days just before Thanksgiving and loved it despite never having played a video game! Thanks!

I also am not a gamer and was shocked that the book made me care about game design.

Awesome list, Elizabeth! I read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow because of your glowing (couch-lying) recommendation and it turned out to be one of my best fiction reads (if not THE best) of the year.

It might be the best book I've ever read on friendship.

All the more so because it features a male-female friendship -- which doesn't get a lot of attention (I can't think of any book that does this; can you?)

Love this list!! Ghosts stayed with me for days after reading it too, I loved going on Nina’s self discovery journey.
