I really liked Ng's book and it was heartbreaking watching that family implode. Life after Life was also interesting but I did find it a bit repetitive towards the end.

I suggested the Ng book for Book Club a while back and would love to see it added to our list.

I enjoyed Life After Life quite a bit. My husband is reading Dead Wake right now and says it is great!

Lots of good books here that I want to read, too! I just gave my husband Cuckoo's Calling for Christmas, so I imagine both of us will get to that one (him sooner than me). I want to read Dead Wake & In the Unlikely Event, too.

You definitely need to make time for Life After Life - after reading it, I immediately added it to my Top 5 of all Time list! Loved that book!

Hope you get to all of these in 2016!
