The Most Memorable Books of 2015
I want to stress once again that these may not be the best books I read in 2015. There were others. But these did something more--not only were they wonderful books, they clung to me, and will never leave me. So in an effort to shine more light on the fine work of some fellow authors, they are:
[Novel] This book by Diane Thomas, a basic newcomer, stunned me. One of the best pieces of writing that combines the natural and human world that I have ever read.
[Novel] I'm adding two novels to the list this year because I can't leave this one off. Daring, original, and should be on every historical fiction fan's list.
[Memoir] A classic. A lesson in learning how to focus on the small beauty that surrounds us daily. Everyone should read this little book. A great holiday gift idea.
[Short stories] It's hard for a collection of flash fiction to be memorable as a body of work because so many stories are contained within the covers. However, Becker's are so unique and complex and deep, many hang with you for a long, long time.
I'm pleased they are all women this year!

Thanks so much for including my book on your "most memorable" list, Tara! It means a lot that my book stuck with you. I couldn't ask for more.

Tara, thank you so much for including my novel, In Wilderness, on your "most memorable" list. It truly means a lot to me. I wish you great luck with your own work, both writing and editing, in 2016 and beyond. You deserve it. -- Diane Thomas
