I've already got The Longest Night by Andria Williams on request at the library---and I'm first on the list!

[Amanda]

Actually, a lot of books I am reading for this challenge and this year will fit into this category but I have chosen "The Kite Runner" by Khaled Hosseini.
Other's on my to-read list this year
The Girl on the Train
Tell the Wolves I'm Home
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet
The Catcher in the Rye
Cinder
The Snow Child
The Bell Jar

[Natália]

I'm using An Ember in Ashes by Sabba Tahir for this one!

[Frogli]

Two of the ones that have been sitting on by to read list for a while are Sacrifice and The Golem and the Djinni so one of those for me I think.

[Valerie]

I was going to use Daisy Fay And The Miracle Man (originally titled - Coming Attractions) - Large Print Editionby Fannie Flagg . I have always enjoyed her books, and the library has this one.

[Amy Beth]

I'll be reading The Secret History by Donna Tartt for this one.

[Sharmon]

I will be using The Book of Speculation as it is slotted as my first book for 2016. I cannot wait to start it and I have New Years day off and I plan on relaxing and reading all day! I have lost my reading mojo and look forward to rekindle the reading flame in 2016.

[Ruth]

I was given Tea Obrehts "The Tigers Wife" for Christmas by my sister in law and just started reading it. As far as I see it fit's into this category nicely.

[Sam F]

I just finished Faith Bass Darling's Last Garage Sale by Lynda Rutledge which seems to be her first and only book so far. It was an interesting read about a woman coping with Alzheimer's. It deals with themes of the value of our possessions over our relationships and how the past impacts the present.

[Teresa]

@Sharmon, I was also going to go for The Book of Speculation, but with this gorgeous cover I hav decided to count it for the "book based on its cover" instead.

For this category I will read Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher as it has been on my TBR for ages and it will briefly allow me go return to my favourite genres.

[Sharmon]

@Teresa, My daughter read Thirteen Reasons Why and loved it. She recommends it.

[Teresa]

@Sharmon, great to know that Thirteen Reasons Why will get the endorsement of a younger person.

[Margo]

Leaving the Land
Recommended elsewhere. Good reviews.
