2. Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty at 220 readers in 2015
3. All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr at 207 readers in 2015

This was the fourth year we ran this list and it was a record year. The results differed from 2014 as all the Top 3 were new. 2014's Top 3 still made it into 2015's Top 12 though.

Results from our 2014 year's list:
*843 members
*4401 different books read
*The top 3 books read were:
1. The Fault In Our Stars by John Green with 187 readers

3. Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn with 135 readers
This result differed slightly from 2013, where Gone Girl was the top read book then, and The Fault in our Stars came in second. Incidentally, 2014 was the first year that Me Before You made it to the top three.

Hi my 1970s-born-female-friends,
WELCOME TO 2015!
If you need to flag this list so that you have its location pinned down, add the book you are currently reading. As soon as you have read it completely (as long as you finish it in 2015), it will become your first official 'vote'.
'Voting' is a terrible concept of a word - What we're really achieving here is a 'tally' of the books us 1970s born chicks have read in 2015. So please do that - DON'T vote for anything you've read any other year. DON'T vote for popular books unless you've read them in 2015. Please DON'T vote if you are not a woman born in the 1970s (I shouldn't have to say this, but there are some numskulls around who can't follow instructions properly). And by 'woman'- I include transgendered women. If you live your life as a woman, you are a woman to this list owner!
I'd prefer if everyone 'add books to this list' rather than tick next to books already in the tally. In this way, the most popular edition shows in the tally because I regularly check for duplicates and amalgamate them. The popularity of a particular edition is important info, and, it can be fun to watch as book covers shown change constantly at the beginning of the year.

Have fun everyone, and please converse here in the comments section about the books you are reading and what's going on for you wherever in the world you are - we want to hear it. Make our community lively and strong :D

Penny :)

My goal for last year was to read a book a day, so I too topped out 100 early on, BUT, I just came back and would remove previous books so that my it was more representative of my top 100.

My goal this year is to read 100 books off the 1001 books to read / 1001 kids books to read and at least 2 nonfiction books a month, so I'll probably read a little bit less.

Thanks Erin and Joanna - and I love doing it too!

And news of news if you're following the saga of Penny's life - I got the first job I applied for in Taupo (where my new love lives), and I'm moving in a few weeks!!!
For those not in the know, Taupo is about a 1 and a half hour drive away from Napier in New Zealand. Napier is on the East Coast, and Taupo is in the middle of the North Island, situated on the edge of New Zealand's biggest Lake - Lake Taupo. The lake was originally formed by a massive vulcanic eruption long before recorded history (in this part of the world). It is a beautiful and picturesque place, spiritual, and from the property you get a great view of Mt Tauhara. We have two chooks, and fruit trees surround the balcony. A little piece of heaven? Why yes, and little is correct. The house is much smaller than the one I'm leaving, but the cost of living is less too. And did I say? Why no, I didn't - I'll be working less hours, so that means I'll be able to both read and write write write!

And if you think surely reading isn't a problem right now, I'm still on my first book of the year. I've been writing like a mad thing and now I'm packing up my stuff like one. 2015 is a very big year for me already! How about you?

Penny xxx

This is an interesting list! Being a man born in the 70s, I like seeing what women born in the 70s are reading.

Does anyone know why To Kill a Mockingbird is hitting high on all these reading lists? Is it because the sequel was recently announced? Is it just coincidence that everyone is reading it. (I read it last year, but just because it was a classic - is it that popular of a classic that so many people read it every year?)

I know I've reread it in the last few years; it has held up very well, I think. (I'm just a tad bit too old to vote on this list.) The announced "old new book" from Harper Lee may have something to do with it, as well.

ETA: GR database indicates some 20,000 people list it as "currently reading," and they can't all be in high school.

Philippa wrote: "I haven't added audiobooks...perhaps I should!"

Hi Philippa (and everyone else I've been missing so much!), what is the definition of 'reading' I wonder??? You see, reading books via audio is the ONLY reading my partner ever does. She 'reads' lots of them. Is this reading or not?

I never thought it was before, but now I think it is. Time is still invested in 'the book', the book is understood, a person can talk about the book...

On the other hand, when you don't read a physical 'in front of you' book, you miss the structure of the book, the clues given away in the way words are placed on the page etc...

Hmmm...any thoughts ladies? I mean, the reason why my love reads audio books and not physical books is that she's a truck driver and she listens to them as she drives. It is the one bonus in a dreary monotonous job I think. AND some people are Aural rather than Visual/Reader learner types so they take in things better that way. Does that make listening to Audio books the same as reading for some?
I'm a Visual/Reader learner myself,(Aural learning is weak for me). It's clear-cut for myself, for me PERSONALLY reading is seeing the words, but how is it for the rest of you?

The voice makes a HUGE difference in my opinion. And while I love English voices, can you imagine an English voice as the narrator of Margaret Atwood's 'The Handmaid's Tale'? I know there is a version out there, but when a book is set in what was once the U.S. of A., you have to have an American voice me thinks! I'm a kiwi, I can't imagine having anything but kiwi voices for books set in my fair country.

To Kill a Mockingbird is always a popular read or reread. But the buzz about Go Set a Watchman has brought people to the library looking for TKAM that I don't think would have been reading it otherwise.

Welcome Maelyn (and all you wonderful women born in the same decade as me!) - as Susanna has replied (being the prolific Goodreadser she is), add EVERYTHING you've read in 2015 (no other years and no 'I want to read it but haven't yet' either), and if you're one of those lucky lucky people who have time to read more than 100, when you get to 100 you can start weeding out the ones you don't want to show. The choice is yours how you do this. Some people only keep their top 100, with some people painstakingly changing the order in which books appear on their own list to show favourites down to not liked. Some people keep only the 1st 100 read and then just keep an eye on the list through sheer wishful 'I want to be able to put more on this list but Good Reads won't let me'-ness.
Me? I've never got to 100 books and this year is a rubbish one for me personally. So what I do is put them in the order that I've read them. It also reveals to me the reading journey I've taken throughout the year.
AND you don't have to be limited to fiction books for adults either. You read non-fiction? Put it on! You read books for kids to your kids (or for your own enjoyment)? Put them on!
There are only 3 stipulations to this list:
1. You must have read the book this (2015) year in its entirety.
2. You must have been born in the 1970s and no other decade - there are lists for those of you not born in the 1970s, and if you can't find one, then start one for your decade!
3. You must also be a woman (this includes women in the Transgendered community who identify as 'women'. I shouldn't need to add that, but I find I sometimes have to).
You can't be/fit only 1 or 2 of those categories, you must be/fit all 3 to add books/votes to this list.

Hoping this helps and further clarifies? And may your reading prosper!

Penny :)

So rank them by how much I enjoyed them rather than when they were read. Thank you for the clarification!

Thanks Susanna, I never knew that. I thought the score was a general score Goodreads-wide. It makes me think about what I will do ranking-wise come the end of the year.
Cheers,
Penny :)

Hi Roberta and Elina and everyone else of course!
I don't think you have to comment to get reminders(?), all you have to do is 'Like' the list? I could be wrong here - some clarity from a Goodreads Librarian?
