Goodreads Staffers' Top Books of the Year: Part A

"Every December, as we wrap up our annual Goodreads Reading Challenge, we ask our well-read colleagues a simple yet incredibly tough question: What were your three favorite books you read this year?
Oh, the angst we caused our coworkers as they whittled down their lists to just their top few books!." (Goodreads)
Duplicates on this list eliminated. List image shows books chosen more than once (Circe was the favourite choice overall)
