As an added Christmas bonus, we are releasing our top picks for contemporary fiction! This category was a little more difficult to narrow down to five, so we cut it to six!
1. The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell by Robert Dugoni
To call this book extraordinary doesn’t do it justice! A change from his usual police procedural thriller, Dugoni has written a coming of age story with some of the best character development we have ever read.

2. Everything We Give by Kerry Lonsdale
We’ve been waiting for the conclusion of this series for well over a year. Ian’s story finally makes everything come full circle to understand what has happened since the beginning.

3. Send Down the Rain by Charles Martin
This was an incredible read that kept us engaged through the whole story. Martin’s storytelling is flawless throughout and the characters spring to life and become your truest friends.

4. Under a Cloudless Sky by Chris Fabry
Fabry’s past/present storytelling is once again a hit with this new read. With forgiveness at the heart of this novel, it should be on everyone’s list!

5. Rainbirds by Clarissa Goenawan
Probably the most beautifully written book of the whole year. Dealing with grief is never easy, but Goenawan puts a story into prose that is intriguing, mischievous, and well thought out!

While dog might just be man’s best friend, Hyde shows that a horse might just be woman’s best friend.
