Claire and Tim’s top ten books of 2016

December 27, 2016 / Claire Fuller / 28 Comments

222-aug12

It’s been a crazy year in the world and on a personal scale, but I’ve always come back to books. I read 76 this year, lots of proofs (thank you publishers), lots newly published, and I discovered many books and authors that I somehow missed reading years ago. This is a list of my favourite books I read this year, Continue reading →


I have written six novels: Hunger and Thirst, The Memory of Animals, Our Endless Numbered Days, Swimming Lessons, Bitter Orange, Unsettled Ground. Click 'About' in the top menu to find out more.

This is a reprint of a short story, with an interesting afterword by Toibin, and I managed to get hold of the beautiful little hardback from @backstory.london I really enjoyed Don’t You Miss It, a fabulous debut by @j.uliapike about female friendship that is true to life, heartfelt and real. It brought back all the complicated joy and heartache found in the deep bonds of early female friendships. Books for Christmas! Who doesn’t love a book-shaped present? If you’re looking for a gift for a friend or family member (or even yourself) you can choose from any of my six novels including Unsettled Ground, and my latest, Hunger and Thirst. This is the second of my videos about proof that I’ve been sent and so here are four more coming from Kate Collins, Suzie Miller, Eleanor Davies, and Rebecca Winterich-Knox. This is the first of two videos about proofs that I have been sent from publishers. All these books will be published in the coming months, so let me know which ones sound most interesting and if there are any here that you are definitely going to pre-order. Authors love pre-orders! I loved Winter Song by @rebecaleemorales, for its attention to detail, for its characterisation, for its setting and story. And also for Rebecca Lee Morales’ writing. It’s a literary mystery - a lovely slow build to some brilliant surprises. Very likely to be on my reads of the year. Throw Back Thursday to 2021 when my novel, Unsettled Ground was longlisted (and then shortlisted) for @womensprize. This is what I wrote in my diary: One Yellow Eye by @leighauthor is a crazy, funny, sad, madcap zombie romp. There has been a zombie outbreak in London and about 2000 people died, or became the undead, including Kesta’s husband Tim. But what no one else knows is that Kesta is keeping Tim chained to the radiator in their spare room while Kesta gets a job at a secret government lab that’s searching for a cure. Just go with the ridiculous science and the lack of security security, and I’ll guarantee you great fun. Some final events for 2026:
