From the list above, I highly recommend Lost and Found by Brooke Davis. I love the three main characters (a little girl, an old man, and an older "senile" woman), and the story focuses on the three of them. The author is from Australia, so if you are not from Australia, you'll come across some terminology that isn't too familiar.
The other book I'd recommend is Cobweb Bride by Vera Nazarina. I think the story's inspired by the mythological tale of Hades and Persephone. I love the author's writing style and the story's quite engaging. This book is also the first in a trilogy, so be aware that you might need to get the second and third book in the series to find out what eventually happens.
Did you set a reading requirement for yourself this year? Do you have any book recommendations?
