    Best fantasy book of the reading year: while most of the fantasy readers probably read that one long ago, I only got to it recently, and was amazed. The book I’m talking about is Perdido Street Station by China Mieville.

  3. Best Sci-fi of the year: Ready, Player One by Ernest Cline because the book was so.. I can’t even.. It was so amazing! I recommend it to every gamer out there!
    Best fiction book so far has been Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace. The book is so huge and complex it is going to take multiple readings to really understand the book which is the thing I love about it.
    I don’t know if I picked the right section for this but the best storyline is definitely in S by Douglas Dorst and J J Abrams. The book is so beautifully crafted and written in a way I had never read before. Just wow!

  18. I’m responding here instead of my blog, because I’m sleepy and lazy at this point. 🙂

    Best Sci-Fi Book of Your Reading Year – Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie – great world-building and characterization, excellent manipulation of the reader’s preconceptions on gender

    Best Setting of Your Reading Year – Area X from Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer – so alien yet so familiar, full of mystery and the unexplained

    Best Main Character of Your Reading Year – the unnamed narrator in Houdini Heart by Ki Longfellow – she goes through a harrowing psychological journey through every imaginable emotion, developing along completely unpredicatable lines yet feels authentic and genuinely human

    Best Horror Book of Your Reading Year – We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson – atmospheric, creepy, funny, unforgettable

    Best Historical Fiction Book of Your Reading Year – Wolf Totem by Jiang Rong – sweeping, tragic, enlightening, beautiful, horrible

  23. I don’t have a blog so I’m posting here in comments. 🙂

    Best Book of Your Reading Year: Great Expectations by Charles Dickens
    Beautiful, magical, exquisite writing and wonderfully creative and deep characters

    Best Fiction Book of Your Reading Year: The Virgins by Pamela Erens
    Like a grown up Looking for Alaska, only better, captures the feel of being young and has an unreliable narrator that makes you question everything

    Best YA Book of Your Reading Year: Unsouled by Neal Shusterman

    Poses such deep questions that make you think but in a lighter way, and also has a very engaging plot and characters who are far from perfect

    lilacamor(at)hotmail(dot)co(dot)uk

  25. Responding here since I don’t have a blog!

    Best Sci-Fi Book of Your Reading Year: He, She and It by Marge Piercy. Really great retelling of a traditional Jewish folk tale (really got me into golems!) with tons of complex and interesting female characters.

    Best Main Character of Your Reading Year: Merricat from We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson. I would explain why, but that might give too much of the story away. 😉 Suffice it to say, she’s written wonderfully.

    Best Non-fiction Book of Your Reading Year: I think I’ll have to go with The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin. Very short read, two letters/essays he wrote about being black in America. Really elegant and thought-provoking, would recommend it to anyone interested in race relations/politics.

    Best Author of Your Reading Year: Definitely Alice Walker (I read Possessing the Secret of Joy and The Color Purple). She’s just… powerful and unafraid to tell it like it is. I’d recommend both titles, preferring PtSoJ.

    OK, all my tired brain can come up with! 🙂

  26. Ooooo fun! I’ve read some great stuff this year!

    Best Non-Fiction Book of Your Reading Year – Smarter Than You Think by Clive Thompson, which is about how technology is not making us dumb like everyone panics and thinks.

    Best Sci-Fi/Fantasy Book of Your Reading Year – The comic series Chew wins this. Chu is a guy who can get psychic impressions from the food (or bodies!) he eats, and there’s a deadly robotic-enhanced chicken. It’s such an awesome series.

    Best Fiction Book of Your Reading Year – The Martian by Andy Weir. It’s about a guy who gets accidentally stranded on Mars, and no one knows he’s alive. He has to figure out how to survive until the next mission. It was surprisingly funny!

    Thanks for the fun challenge! Perfect way to wake my brain up for these last two hours!

  27. Thanks so much for hosting a challenge! I hope it was a great day all around!

  28. The Best Book Recommended To Me This Year: Dandelion Wine, by Ray Bradbury. A rich and engrossing read, as poetic as Bradbury has ever gotten, save perhaps for select passages of Something Wicked This Way Comes. It’s a true classic, as far as I’m concerned, and the perfect book for the dog days of summer.

    The Best Writing I’ve Read This Year: Henry Miller, in Tropic of Cancer. Though I think more of Tropic of Capricorn, Miller’s genius–albeit younger–is no less evident. There are passages that are so perfectly penned that I find myself stunned, and unable to continue for minutes at a time, so as to allow the words or the thoughts they impart time to saturate my mind.

    The Best Fiction I’ve Read This Year: Without question, and despite being in the midst of it still, Stephen King’s IT is the most powerful piece of fiction I’ve seen in quite some time. It’s as creepy as they say, genuinely dark material, but it also rings painfully true. King’s grasp of human nature has never been on better display than in his characterization of the grown children of Derry. I find a piece of myself in each of them, fragments of my fears scattered across so many pages like a sick easter egg hunt, each lying in wait for me to find and shudder over anew.

  29. Best Book of Your Reading Year: A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness

    Best YA Book of Your Reading Year: We Were Liars by E. Lockhart

    Best Fantasy Book it Your Reading Year: Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children by Random Riggs

    Best Sci-Fi Book of Your Reading Year: The Maze Runner Trilogy by James Dashner

    Best Cover of Your Reading Year: Through the Woods by Emily Carroll

    Best Author of Your Reading Year: The Fault in Our Stars – John Green

  30. The Best Book of my Reading Year, so far, has been Five Days Left by Julie Lawson Timmer. The best non-fiction I’ve read is The Big Tiny by Dee Williams. And finally, The Best Cover of my Reading Year was from Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty. Great challenge!

  32. Best Non-Fiction Book of Your Reading Year: Brain on Fire by Susannah Calahan

    Best Children’s Book of Your Reading Year: One by Kathryn Otoshi

    Best Fiction Book of Your Reading Year: Last Night at the Lobster by Stewart O’Nan

  35. Best Setting: Sharp Objects by Gillian Flynn- Flynn really knows how to create a creepy, stifling setting.
    Best Story line: Ready Player One by Ernest Cline- I was gripped all the way through.
    Best Main Character: Scarlett O’Hara from Gone With the Wind by Margaret Mitchell. I love how you both admire her and at times, hate her.

    Best Mystery Book – All the mystery books written my Ellery Queen. Really, they’re a bit old but Read Them! [Nancy Drew is also very good]
    Best Cover – White Cat by Holly Black. I swear, I’d probably buy the book JUST by its cover!
