Let The Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist and Ebba Segerberg(Translator)

 

 I really enjoyed this dark read! I felt a lot of sympathy towards Oskar because of the severe bullying to which he was subjected. It was interesting to find out about Eli's backstory. This story is very gruesome in places so it's not for the faint of heart. Very well done.

The Night Travelers by Armando Lucas Correa

 

 I loved this epic tale which followed four generations of one family moving from Germany, Cuba and New York. This book was very moving, sad and beautiful. This is the type of story which will stay with the reader long after they have turned the final page.

 I really enjoyed this heartfelt memoir. The author's insights into complex issues surrounding death and dying really made me think. Marsh's reflections regarding his surgical career and his cancer diagnosis were very moving.
