12. I Am Pilgrim by Terry Hayes
Hi, wasn't too sure about Orphan Train at first but once I got into it I really enjoyed it. The ending was a bit quick though. A subject in American history that I'd heard nothing about. Similar to the transportation of orphans from here in Uk to Australia, which was still going on in the '60's and 70's.Recommended.
I think I'll have to start saying what I thought of each book i read! Its always interesting to know different views.

17. Black Beauty by Anna SewellMy favourite book of the year! I read it many times when I was a child. Lovely lovely book, so sad - I cried, again!
18. Three Seconds by Anders Roslund19. Broadchurch: The Leaving of Claire Ripley (Story 7): A Series Two Original Short Story

Ooh! I've been in a little bit of a Turing/codebreakers/Enigma/Bletchley Park kick lately, so I've added that one to my list. Thanks, Maggie!

Its really a very interesting book, simply written, I knew about Bletchley Park, Enigma etc - but I was amazed at how big the whole thing was. I thought Bletchley Park was just a country house but there were 1.000's there!
52. I Let You Go by Clare Mackintosh53. The Girl In The Brothel: A Story Of Love And Redemption by Mina Ray
56. The Ice Twins by S.K. Tremayne NO - didn't enjoy this one at all. Silly story, silly characters.57. Bird Box by Josh Malerman
