Hi, Michelle! My favorite 3 books over the past two years are The Book Thief by Markus Zusak, The Road by Cormac McCarthy and The Cellist of Sarajevo by Steven Galloway.
I bet you’ll see The Book Thief in more than one response!
Thanks for hosting this giveaway!

I would have to second The Book Thief. I’ve also loved A Thousand Splendid Suns and Mistborn by Brandon Sanderson.
Hmm…top 3 books from the last couple of years… I guess I’d say The Road by Cormac McCarthy, Kafka on the Shore by Haruki Murakami and The Makioka Sisters by Junichiro Tanizaki.
