Some seriously good selections in there.
Love the lily, and white. Had many fav's but had to choose one.
Just finished The Language of Flowers and couldn't think of a better way to pay tribute.Its a wonderful book that I highly recommend. Many other great selections though.
So many great books to choose from, but I had to go with The Forgotten Garden. I'm a fairy tale fanatic!

Everything Ray Bradbury wrote is pure genius. Haven't read this one yet.
Have to go with a classic -- Dandelion Wine. It's a favorite.
The Loved, The Lost and the Dreaming gets my vote!!!
I shall defer to the more floral of you, but my vote is Dandelion Wine as it is by Mr. Bradbury.

Gather the Bones! Poppies and an engaging story set in the aftermath of WW1. Downtown Abbey with ghosts and secrets from the past.

Awesome list. I'll end up reading at least half of it, no matter which one will be chosen.
I vote for Without Tess, strictly because of the cover.
A great list. I vote for Captive Bride.

I know she doesn't need any help but had to vote for Kate Atkinson. At least I think I voted. There were no clanging bells, no tiny dings, no acknowledgment of any kind.

My husband and kids drive me nuts when they call it that! Now they do it on purpose! LOL!
The Regret of a Flower gets my vote. The artwork of a bleeding heart on the cover is original, done by artist and author Liz Campbell, and is evocative of the tenderness and longing between the covers.
My vote goes to The Loved, The Lost, The Dreaming.
The Loved, The Lost, The Dreaming gets my vote.
I voted "The loved, The Lost and The Dreaming"

I voted for Kate Atkinson, I think. I clicked it but nothing happened. Will check in tomorrow. :-)
Dandelion Wine has my vote ...sounds interesting.
I'll crush & brew my dandelions in the front yard next month, no matter. And look forward to reading our noble group's selection. Dystopia is hard on me; I can't suspend disbelief; my city is too wonderful.
Betrayed - The Bethany Rosehart Story by Wade Faubert got my vote.
I don't know what book is good haven't read any of them. I don't like any romance books lol
I went through a stage when I loved Science Fiction and must have read every book in existence on the subject. (Well, almost at the time, American-English). Ray Bradbury was a favorite. So do I vote nostalgically?
Life After Life and Gather the Bones both sound interesting and unusual. I guess start with Life After Life (since I have to pick one).
I've been wanting to read that since R.L. Stine recommended it on Twitter as his favorite book.
