An Episode of Sparrows: A Novel | 
#Top21of21. Lots of good reading this year. Loved all these books (even Matrix by Lauren Groff 😮 ).My most MOST favourites are An Episode of Sparrows; Ducks, Newburyport; The Street; Wayward, and I Am I Am I Am. Oh, and The Cazalet Chronicles and all the titles in Laurence's Manawaka series.🙂
Thanks for the tag @Ruthiella @Centique @Nute @Graywacke And thanks @Cinfhen for getting it going!
Graywacke 🦆🦆 !! And Nora Ephron was a voice. Fun list. 2y

Ruthiella I loved Ducks, Newburyport too! 🦆 🦆 2y
merelybookish @JamieArc I meant to tag you too! 🙂 2y
merelybookish @Graywacke Ephron is funny. And that's not easy! 2y
merelybookish @vivastory Thanks! Ducks is totally worth the effort! 2y
merelybookish @Ruthiella Reading Ducks is an experience! 2y
Megabooks I am is an all time fav of mine! 2y
LeahBergen I think I‘ll just cheat and add the Manawaka series to my list as one book 😆 2y
merelybookish @Megabooks It was so compelling! Like from the first encounter on! 2y
merelybookish @LeahBergen Haha, yes that was my intention too. Because they are all so good! 2y
Graywacke @merelybookish i think I deleted my adjective before I clicked “send”. ☺️. it was a positive one. She was a special voice - Nora Ephron. 2y
sarahbarnes Such a great list! So many of my favorites in here. ❤️ I‘m starting Wayward tonight! 2y
Liz_M 🦆🦆🦆🦆🦆! 2y
merelybookish @sarahbarnes Thanks! Let me know what you think of Wayward! There are some flaws but I loved the main character. 2y
MaureenMc Fantastic list! 2y
merelybookish @Liz_M 😄 it's like being in a club! 2y
merelybookish @MaureenMc Thank you! Let's talk about Villy sometime! I feel like she got some redemption in the end, but I felt she was treated unfairly by the storyline. 2y
MaureenMc @merelybookish I 100% agree re: Villy! She did have a bit of a martyr complex, but it didn‘t seem fair how all of her family essentially abandoned her. 2y
Crazeedi I enjoyed cazelet chronicles! Nice list! 2y
merelybookish @MaureenMc Thank you! She was made out it be such a pill and it seemed cruel..and I didn't like what happened to Diana's character either. She was having an affair but she wasn't evil but then she married Edward and becomes a witch. I really did love the series but felt the treatment of some characters was bizarre. 2y
batsy A great list! You had a pretty wide-ranging reading year 🙌🏽 2y
Cinfhen What a marvelous list!! I‘ve taken the screenshot so I can study up on the books I‘m not familiar with!! Thanks so much for sharing and tagging me♥️ 2y
GatheringBooks I want to read them all! Thank you for the tag. 2y
MaureenMc @merelybookish I‘ve heard that there‘s quite a bit of autobiographical details included in Howard‘s fiction. I wonder if Villy‘s & Diana‘s arcs contain some of those? 🤔 2y
TheLudicReader I so admire you for reading Ducks, Newburyport. There‘s no part of me that wants to give it a go, but yay you. 2y
merelybookish @batsy Yes, in spite of not meeting my Goodreads challenge. 😜 2y
merelybookish @Cinfhen Thank you! And thanks again for keeping Litsy fun! 😘 2y
merelybookish @GatheringBooks Thanks! I look forward to your list! 2y
merelybookish @MaureenMc Interesting! Maybe I'll do some background reading. I did mean to look up reviews to see what others had said about it. 2y
merelybookish @TheLudicReader Haha. It is a commitment to read 🦆🦆 so I understand! And I meant to tag you. 🤦♀️Would love to see your Top 21. 🙂 2y
BarbaraBB That‘s some list you share here 😍 2y
HardcoverHearts What a phenomenal list!! So many of my favorites are here. 🙌🏻 2y
LitStephanie Thanks for the tag! What a great way to share our favorites to help each other find good books to try. 2y
merelybookish @HardcoverHearts Thank you! I remember you commenting when I was reading The Street. It's such an amazing novel! 2y
