- The Royal We by Heather Cocks & Jessica Morgan (I am a complete Anglophile, but this one seemed like it would be too bubbly or too angsty. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that it was neither!)
- I Am Malala by Malala Yousafzai (I picked this up because of Nonfiction November. What a powerful read, and what an amazing person she is.)
- The Sweetness at the Bottom of the Pie by Alan Bradley (Mysteries are typically not my genre, but everyone seems to love Flavia. Now I know why!)
