Melanie Kelly, Reference Librarian at the Westport Library, took a Goodreads Challenge to read 10 books a month for a year. Find your next book with her list!

Best in Show

Behind Her Eyes by Sarah Pinborough
Prepare to have your mind blown with this book. If you love psychological thrillers, BEHIND HER EYES is a must read.

Best Fantasy

League of Dragons by Naomi Novik
I loved every book in the Temeraire series, but I might have loved this one most of all.

General Fiction

Young Adult for Adults

Best Mystery

The Dry by Jane Harper
This is an extrordinarily beautifully written mystery novel in which the plot, the character, and the setting all come together in a fantastic symbiosis.

Best Nonfiction

The Stranger in the Woods by Michael Finkel
Imagine going into the woods for 20 years and not speaking a word to another human. Then read this book.

Science Fiction & Fantasy

Best Feel Good Fiction

Close Enough to Touch by Colleen Oakley
Read this book with a box of tissues. The growth of the characters can't help but make you cry.

Best Time Travel

All Our Wrong Todays by Elan Mastai
One reviewer described this book as "if DARK MATTER and BACK TO THE FUTURE had a baby." I can't top that!
