Staff Favourites of 2011 – Fiction (part two)

It’s getting to that time of year when we look back on all that happened and decide what we liked and didn’t like and, of course, we make those lists. I polled our keen readers on staff and they were more than happy to share with me their favourite reads of 2011. As always it is an interesting and eclectic list. As always no one nominated the same book. I hope you will find something new and tempting to try.
