N - Jo Nesbo's The Snowman. Enjoyable Scandicrime but I thought it a little far fetched in parts.

S - Gunnar Staalsen's Cold Hearts. Really enjoyed this Scandicrime.

I've just put on my wish list.

Yes its on mine too. Got Cold Hearts as a library ebook but they don't seem to have any others.

T - Rose Tremain's Music & Silence / Restoration

Z - Markus Zusak's The Book Thief

A - Isabel Ashdown's Summer of '76

C - Majorie Celonia's Y

Q - Susanna Quinn's Glass Geishas

M - Haruki Murakami's What I Talk About when I Talk about Running

L - Ira Levin's A Kiss Before Dying

E - Jill Alexander Essbaum's Hausfrau

K - Kate Kerrigan's Ellis Island

B - Judy Blume's Wifey

P-R.J.Palacio's Wonder (and Pluto - an associated book)

G - John Green's TFIOS

H - Cristina Henriquez's The Book of Unknown Americans

W - Tommy Wallach's We All Looked Up

D - Christine Dwyer Hickey's The Lives of Women

Y Nicola Yoon's Everything, Everything. ARC of a YA novel (due for publication end August / early Sept). Bit like Fault in Our Stars with regards romance and subject matter.

I'm waiting for Everything, Everything for my challenge as well.

I got it via Netgalley. I enjoyed it and it didn't take me long to read.

F Karen Joy Fowler's We are All Completely Beside Ourselves, which I really enjoyed and thought it was quite thought provoking.

V Timur Vermes political satire Look Who's Back based on the life of Hitler, and his making an appearance in the modern age.

X Xinran's Miss Chopstick's was interesting enough but I wouldn't rave about it as a book.

I Ivey's The Snow Child. Loved it, 5* read for me.

J Jackson's Yuki Chan in Bronte Country. Released early Jan. Nothing special about it for me sadly.

O O'Neill's Only Ever Yours. Teen dystopian.

U Unger's In the Blood. Good crime thriller.

R Roy's Sleeping on Jupiter. 3* read for me.

CHALLENGE COMPLETED :)
