1. The Keeper (D.I. Corrigan 2) - Luke Delaney
The second novel in the DI Sean Corrigan series - DI Sean Corrigan is different to most cops. He’s no psychic, but his own dark past has given him the ability to step into a crime scene and see it through the eyes of the offender. He understands what drives a person to commit murder, rape, arson - but sometimes his gift seems more like a burden.

2. The Pearl Diver : A Novel - Jeff Talarigo
In 1948, a nineteen-year-old pearl diver's dreams of spending her life combing the waters of Japan’s Inland Sea are shattered when she discovers she has leprosy. By law, she is exiled to an island leprosarium, where she is stripped of her dignity and instructed to forget her past. Her name is erased from her family records, and she is forced to select a new one. To the two thousand patients on the island of Nagashima, she becomes Miss Fuji.

3. Me Before You - Jojo Moyes
Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn’t know is she’s about to lose her job or that knowing what’s coming is what keeps her sane.
Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he’s going to put a stop to that. What Will doesn’t know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they’re going to change the other for all time.

4. The Dark Tower 2: The Drawing of the Three - Stephen King
Having crossed into contemporary America, Roland must ally with Eddie Dean and Odetta Holmes to fight the evil forces coming from the underworld. Sequel to The Gunslinger, continuing the journey of Roland Deschain.

5. Summers at Castle Auburn - Sharon Shinn
As a child, Coriel Halsing spent many glorious summers at Castle Auburn with her half-sister-and fell in love with a handsome prince who could never be hers. But now that she is a young woman, she begins to see the dark side of this magical place...

I didn't vote because I don't think I'd read any of those books. The Keeper is a second in a series and I won't pick it up without having read the first. The Pearl Diver: A Novel really just doesn't interest me at all. Me Before You looks like a love story and probably one I'm not going to be too interested in. The Dark Tower 2 is back to being a second in a series where I haven't read the first. And Summers at Castle Auburn actually looks good, but not one I'd want to purchase. I guess I could vote for it, but I feel bad if I vote for it and then don't read it.

I'm only interested in Me Before You and Summers at Castle Auburn but I voted for Summers at Castle Auburn because Me Before You has been adapted into a movie last year xp
