Listener Best Books 2014

[Carol She's So Novel꧁꧂]

I've entered the competition to win this. I don't feel as wowed by this years list as I was by the 2013 one. Saying that, every time I look at it I find another one & think, "hmmmm...wouldn't mind looking at that."

The only one I've read so far is Gutter Black & that was a good read.

Could you post the list, Carol?

It's a 100 books & I'm a terrible typist! :D

The titles I would particularly like to read are;

Francis Plug, How to be a Public Author by Paul Ewan
How to Build a Girl by Caitlin Moran
The Paying Guest by Sarah Waters
Sam Jabel & the Magic Pen by Dylan Horrocks
Big Little Lies by Liane Moriarty
The Bassett Road Machine Gun Murders by Scott Bainbridge
Spirit of the South photographed by Andris Apse
Dirty Politics by Nicky Hager

Those are the main ones! In a separate section are the best cook books. I like the look of all of them, so I've entered that competition too.

Kathleen, it's the 22-28 November edition.

Thank you very much for the part list. I'll scour the library shelves. I've read three on your list and perhaps will read another two.

My library has a copy of the mag so might get it out and have a look. I also thought The Paying Guests looked good.

I don't borrow magazines from our library any more. The fines are per day & they are only loaned out for a week. A couple of times when I used to borrow them I ended up with fines so high I could have bought the magazine instead!

Nowadays they send out email reminders, which should prevent that, but I still prefer to go in & read the specific article.

Hmmm this has given me another thread idea!
