- The Steep Approach to Garbadale by Iain Banks. Always good. Bound to read some more by him in 2017.
- End of Watch by Stephen King. Bye bye Bill Hodges. Having been reading about you for the last two years, I just couldn't believe what got you in the end. Heartbreaking.
- To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Now I know what all the fuss has been about.
- Half the World and Half a War by Joe Abercrombie, finishing the trilogy. Enjoyed it so much I bought a signed hardback of the last instalment and may have to collect signed copies of the other two.
- Enduring Love by Ian McEwan. Another author about whom I am glad there is a fair amount of back catalogue still to work through.
- More Letters of Note compiled by Shaun Usher. Still a genius idea and beautifully done. Sentimentally special as well. Bring on volume three.
- Any Human Heart by William Boyd (and then The Dream Lover short story collection later in the year). A fantastic journey through the 20th century and a top recommendation from Ian.
- A Morbid Taste for Bones by Ellis Peters. Can a book you've not read before be quite so familiar? Fully intend to read the whole series. Makes me think of Dad.
- Started Early, Took my Dog by Kate Atkinson. Borrowed from Bec and devoured on a trip to KL. Last book featuring Jackson Brodie. Finished it and immediately started reading the first one, Case Histories! Thanks for the recommendation.
- Kill Your Friends by John Niven. Awful, just awful, but a guilty pleasure.
A post for another day on what I am looking forward in particular to reading in 2017 ...
