I was at an Evening for Book Lover's tonight, hosted by the Oakville Public Library. The event consists of library staff presenting the top 19 books for book clubs and/or reading on your own. Here's the list of books for 2012 that they presented tonight. From the list from 2011 book lovers evening, I think there was only a couple I didn't read, so it's a good chance I'll read most of these eventually! In fact, I've already read 5 of the 19.
1. Jamrach's Menagerie, by Carol Birch
2. The Chimps of Fauna Sanctuary, by Andrew Westoll
3. The Cat's Table, by Michael Ondaatje
4. The Night Circus, by Erin Morgenstern
5. State of Wonder, by Ann Patchett
6. Unbroken, by Laura Hillenbrand
7. The Thoughtful Dresser, by Linda Grant
8. The Barbarian Nurseries, by Hector Tobar
9. The Taliban Cricket Club , by Timeri N. Murari
10. The Fear Index, by Robert Harris
11. There But For The, by Ali Smith
