What was the most inspirational book you’ve read this year?
@Cathy ‘s No Place I’d Rather Be. Her books have such strong, kick-ass women characters who overcome so much adversity.
I would also say No Place I’d Rather Be. I also loved All The Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr.
I agree. Just finished it this week.
The Alice Network by Kate Quinn, about exceptional women during WWI and WWII.
Fantastic read.
Gilead by Marilynn Robinson. The goodness of the minister in this book, the love he has for his people, the expression of his faith profoundly affected me.
Beneath a Scarlet Sky by Mark Sullivan. Can’t recommend this enough.
Mine was Echoes of Family by @Barbara
The Alice Network by Kate Quinn and The Stolen Marriage by Diane Chamberlain.

I LOVE that book and that author!
Same kind of different as me
When Breath Becomes Air by Paul Kalanithi. But loved Same Kind of Different as Me when I read a few years ago!
This is a great read!
Oh yes! This book was amazing on every level.
When Breath Becomes Air was wonderful….Paul Kalanithi was so courageous!
Small Great Things by Jodi Picoult
Wonder by R J Palacio
I would have to agree with the two people above me, @Elizabeth and @Johnna Small Great Things and Wonder.
Small Great Things!
I would say Wonder too, but I read it a few years ago!
I have to choose three! Small great things, wonder, and when breath becomes air.
Love all three of those!

The Lilac Girls
Days Made Of Glass by Laura Drake.
Allie and Bea by @Catherine …and I have to add Small Great Things too.
Refugee or The Hate U Give
Glass Castle, When Crickets Cry (anything by Charles Martin),Hope Chest, Map of the Heart, Allie and Bea, Wonder,
The Crows of Beara
Ginny Dye’s series on the civil war, covers before,during and after. Wonderful series
All of the Cathy Lamb books, because I carry them with me and Lilac Girls.

I have to say Lilac Girls because of the meticulous research and the richness of the story. Most impressive debut ever.
