Curious to see what the Lemmings are reading this year.

I'll say my favorite this year was "The People of the Deer" by Farley Mowat, a novelization of the authors time spent in the Canadian North.

An incredible read with some wonderful prose.

River of Gods by Ian McDonald. I've read a lot of books this year but River really stood out. The world building, prose and characters were all top notch.
