Book Recommendations

I know, I know. Another bookelated thread! My book club is meeting tonight to discuss what our selections will be for 2017. I am tasked with bringing suggestions for the Contemporary Fiction and Historical Fiction categories. I've got a few in mind, but I'd love to know if you've read anything recently that you couldn't put down or found thought provoking.

Doesn't Nikki love Historical Fiction? We need to direct her to this thread

I've had a really slow reading...well...year! I just couldn't finish very many books.

But, for ideas, maybe check out the GoodReads Books of 2016? There are bound to be some good ones that were voted on by readers.

I loved The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah in the historical fiction category.

Thanks, girls! We picked The Mercy of Thin Air (my suggestion) for Historical Fiction, as well as these:

Contemporary Fiction - The Mothers by Brit Bennett
Young Adult - Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children by Ransom Riggs
Classic - The Water is Wide by Pat Conroy
Non-Fiction - The Warmth of Other Suns by Isabel Wilkerson
Wild Card - The Things We Keep by Sally Hepworth

I'm excited!
