Top Ten Tuesday (TTT) brought to you by The Broke and the Bookish.
Today’s TTT post will be short and sweet. I did a quick glance through my 2015 reads, and here are my favorites from this year. Can’t wait to see what 2016 has in store.

As always, I hate to rank from one to ten, so these are in alphabetical order.
- All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr
- The Harvest Man by Alex Grecian
- The Girl on the Train by Paula Hawkins
- The Husband’s Secret by Liane Moriarty
- A Fatal Grace by Louise Penny
- Blue Labyrinth by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child
- Thereby Hangs a Tail by Spencer Quinn
- Landline by Rainbow Rowell
- Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz
- The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion
What did you read this year that was your favorite? I’m always on the lookout for 2016 recommendations. 😉 Link up to your own TTT if you’ve got one!
Hidden Staircase

I can’t wait to read more by Rainbow Rowell and Liane Moriarty. Those were my first two from both those authors.

Ooooh, awesome list! I’ve read several of these and a few more are on my to-read list, like the Louise Penny books, the Preston & Child series and the rest of the Chet and Bernie mysteries (I’ve only read the first one). Oh yeah, and “All the Light We Cannot See,” which I totally meant to read this year and didn’t get around to. It’ll be at the top of the list for 2016! The only book on your list I don’t know anything about is “The Harvest Man,” but the cover looks intriguing!

Harvest Man is the fourth in The Murder Squad series – the first is The Yard. I read the first one, and then got Harvest Man as an advance review so I still need to go back and read #2 and #3. Harvest Man gives spoilers on those two books, unfortunately. But it was fantastic. I loved The Yard, I would start the series there. Great characters and setting – just after Jack the Ripper has terrorized London and Scotland Yard detectives are pretty new in the field.

Thanks! I really enjoy the Inspector Gamache series. You might want to start with the first one – Still Life – to get introduced to the characters. https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/338691.Still_Life

I can’t speak to most of these, but I loved The Rosie Project! I like everything by Rowell so far. All the Light fell a little short for me.

Rosie was such a hit for me! I laughed so much throughout that book. 🙂 I need to read more from Rowell – Landline is it so far.

That was really good. The writing was so lovely throughout. I’m not big on WWII books, but it was wonderful.

Neither am i, but it’s one of those books I just kept hearing good things about, so I thought I’d give it a try anyway. Sounds like it will be worth it.

I did it for the 2015 Book Challenge. Pulitzer Prize Winning book. Otherwise I probably wouldn’t have picked it up. I’m glad I did!

I’m so excited that you included The Rosie Project! I would have as well, but I didn’t read it this year, haha. And Aristotle and Dante has been on my TBR for aaages, it’s so great to see it feature on so many best books of 2015 list. 🙂

The only one I’ve read on your list is All The Light We Cannot See. I enjoyed it, but it was definitely different from what I usually read so it took me forever to get through. The ending was crushing, though.

I usually avoid any books that take place during WWII – they are always so upsetting for me. I thought the writing was beautiful. The ending was sad, I agree.
