Best of 2015
Let's compile the "Best of" book lists we run across.
(Speaking of best books of 2015, I don't know who gave me Station Eleven, but I cannot put it down. I had a big reading year, and that book just slipped into the top five this past week.)
I admire Maria Popova and Brainpickings. This list is solid.
And looking ahead...Book Riot previews fifteen books coming out in 2016.
This is a work in progress. I'll keep working on it.

Fletcher's picks for 2016
A list of book ideas for 2016
The Notorious RBG, Irin Carmon & Shana Knizhnik
There is a story about how Ruth Bader Ginsburg made Bill Clinton cry, and that is really why I pre-ordered the book.
The Book of Unknown Americans, Cristina Henriquez
Prayers for the Stolen, Jennifer Clement
Salvage the Bones, Jesmyn Ward
Come Together, Fall Apart, Cristina Henriquez
God Help the Child, Toni Morrison
The MaddAdam Trilogy, by Margaret Atwood

The MaddAdam Trilogy, by Margaret Atwood
- Oryx and Crake
- I have to admit that I just recently read this, and it made me sick and upset, nauseated even, but it was also funny and beautifully written, so what do you do with a book like that? I'm teetering on the edge of starting The Year of the Flood, or abandoning the trilogy altogether.
- The Year of the Flood
- MaddAddam ("EXTINCTATHON, Monitored by MaddAddam. Adam named the living animals, MaddAddam names the dead ones. Do you want to play?").
Just some ideas. Let's all put our suggestions up here.
