1) This Is How You Lose Her by Junot Diaz
2) The Magician's Assistant by Ann Patchett

Good luck this year! How did you find the Ann Patchett book? I've been meaning to check out some of her stuff!

Good luck to you too! I had read State of Wonder by Ann Patchett and I really enjoyed it. The Magician's Assistant was a good read, but I would recommend the prior if you haven't read any of her books before.

3) Turn of Mind by Alice LaPlante
4) Northanger Abbey by Jane Austin

When I downloaded my audiobook program it actually came with a short sample of State of Wonder, which is what got me curious as to her work to start with, so I'll keep in mind that it's a good one!
