Best books of 2019

Hello,  so far in 2019, I have borrowed 198 books from the public library, which puts me in a good position to recommend my favourite titles from the year, which I will do in upcoming posts.  I have to begin with Michael Crummey’s beautiful historical novel, The Innocents, which remains my choice for the Giller award.   The Innocents is a fascinating story filled with incredible research about how two children could have survived a tragic situation on a remote coast of Newfoundland.  Brave, inspiring, compassionate, heartfelt, with a fluid and fast- paced writing style,
I can wholeheartedly recommend this book for all fiction lovers.

    Can't believe you borrowed and read so many books this year. Bravo. When will the Giller be announced?

      Just to clarify, the Giller prize has been awarded by Ian Williams' book Reproduction. I'm just posting my thoughts on the shortlisted titles.
