Enjoy, everyone! Thanks to the 16 folks who took the time to respond to any part of this survey. Sorry for the partial listings; I ran out of steam for researching authors to match titles, etc. Next year I'll be more explicit in my instructions.

I can feel my TBR lists growing as we speak!

Thanks, Carol!!

Thanks Carol. :)

You could have narrowed the list considerably just by giving extra weight to my votes.

thanks for doing this again, carol! lots of good books to add to the ever growing list :)

Excellent job, great lists! Nice to be able to reference this during the year if I need a recommendation!

NOW you tell me!

Wow! Thank so much Carol! we have read a lot of varied titles and so many look tempting. I remember referring back to last year's list to select what to read, this year looks like a great crop too!
I have read almost all of the ones with two or more votes and agree, they were all good ones!

Lots of work here, Carol. Thanks. Too bad you couldn't post a fill-in-the-blanks form so you'd get all the info you need.

No worries, Dan. By the time I got to those parts I just wanted to keep going and get you guys the results, so I didn't double back. Next year I'll be clearer up front (author AND title, please) and leave myself time so that if someone gives partial posts I can poke them to go back and add.

Some I knew off the top of my head, but others were new to me.

Thank you for doing this Carol! I love reading these lists :)

Wow! Thanks for all your hard work! I cannot wait to see which ones I must still read!

Belinda, you'll be able to participate in 2016's lists in another month or so. Be sure and include regional authors we might not be familiar with here in the U.S.

Belinda: We love our top lists; they always add to our To Be Read piles! Our month end books read posts are also good for new book tips. Please feel free to share what you are reading. Our JF NR thread is good for that. (Just Finished Now Reading) :)
