Each year my book group gathers for a year-end celebration. We eat (a lot), exchange gifts (all books, in a white-elephant-type gift exchange), and vote the 11 picks for next year. It's possibly my favorite event during the month of December (other than the actual Christmas Eve/Day hoopla with my little family).
I'm looking forward to (most) of the picks for this next year:
The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks by Rebecca Skloot
The Apothecary by Maile Meloy
The Reading Promise by Alice Ozma
Girl in Translation by Jena Kwok
To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis
Lost in Shangri-La by Mitchell Zuckoff
Dressmaker of Khair Khana by Gayle Tzemach
When We Were Strangers by Pamela Scoenewaldt
Little Princes: One Man's Promise to Bring Home the Lost Children of Nepal by Conor Grennan
Factory Girls by Leslie Change
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
