What’s the best book you’ve read recently?
(Tell me you didn’t see this one coming?)
The best book I've read recently was Elizabeth Strout's Olive Kitteridge, which I haven't reviewed yet, a novel in short stories centering on the title character, Olive Kitteridge, and taking place mostly in Maine. It's a lovely, literary, and beautifully-written.

I have Olive Kitteridge on my TBR pile so I am glad to know that it is a recent favourite; so many bloggers hold the book in such high opinion and I really must read it soon.
I've been wanting to read this one for awhile now. Sounds very good.
This is on my wish list.

This one is on my TBR pile! I'm looking forward to it.
I really enjoyed this one too, and did not expect too!
The format on this one sounds great. I hope to get to it soon!
It's on my wish list!
I can't wait to read this book. I have heard nothing but good things about it.
I did not like this one as much as I thought I was going to. Maybe I will have to read it again. The stories that did not contain Olive were boring to me and distracted me.
This one was nearly last on my list of books right before I started my blog. i need to go back and write a review of it. It's quite a keeper. It was my "yay it's Pulitzer Day" purchase and I wasn't disappointed.
