It was obviously the Year of Elizabeth Goudge, for me. If you’ve never read one of her books, I would highly recommend that you try The Dean’s Watch or The Bird in the Tree.
6. Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good by Jan Karon.
12. Mama’s Bank Account by Kathryn Forbes. Although I never got around to reviewing this book, I enjoyed very much this fictionalized memoir of a family of Norwegian immigrants in the early twentieth century. The stories were sweet and illuminating in the vein of Life With Father or Cheaper by the Dozen.

So far I have not read anything by Goudge except The Little White Horse, and wasn’t too thrilled with that, but have been wanting to try some of her other books. Somewhere Safe with Somebody Good will probably make my favorites of the year as well.
