Depictions of nature often reflect the mood in Tess of the D’Urbervilles. For example as Tess sits listening to Angel play the harp, “The floating pollen seemed to be in his notes made visible, and the dampness of the garden the weeping of the garden’s sensibility. Though near nightfall, the rank-smelling weed-flowers glowed as if they would not close, for intentness, and the waves of colour mixed with the waves of sound” (page 139). (more…)

I loved Where Things Come Back and Gone Girl.
One on your list I thought was pretty good, and another was possibly my least favorite book of the year. I haven't read the others, but am going to start Wild today.
Different strokes for different folks, eh?
I really liked Me and Earl and the Dying Girl. In that case, you can judge a book by its cover.
We have a lot of the same favorites. Especially in adult nonfiction and YA fiction. But what, no favorite picture books?
@Pat, I don't review picture books, so I don't have a strong enough tally in my head when year-end time rolls around. That said, this year it begins and ends with GOLDILOCKS AND THE THREE DINOSAURS.
