Goodreads Staffers' Top Books of the Year: Part B

"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 - Exhortations to buy the books eliminated)
Duplicates on this list eliminated (there is some duplication across Parts A & B). List image shows books chosen more than once (Circe was the favourite choice overall)
