Only had 2 5🌟 books for 2018. Lots of good/great/lovely books but these 2 were the standouts.
Listened to #WeShouldAllBeFeminists on audio and I loved it just as much, if not more, than I did in 2015 (gave the paperback 5🌟 as well). Gave a copy of it to several people in my life.
#DestinyDisrupted was so interesting! To read about history through the non-Western perspective was eye opening. Highly recommend it.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a cook but I do enjoy reading about food usually through a travel memoir. Was surprised in 2017 to find Eight Flavors a 5🌟 read. Who knew the history of food could be so interesting?
Other 5🌟 for the year: One of Us is Lying, Midnight at the Bright Ideas Bookstore & All Our Wrong Tomorrows.

*I'm thinking of buying all my 5🌟reads for my home library. Anyone else do that?
pickMy #DecadeofBooks posts continue with 2015. Only 3 5 stars books. Looking back only one of them really continues to be a 5 star today. I'd probably give Big Little Lies a solid 4.5 star and Greyhound a 3.5-4 stars.
We Should All Be Feminists is outstanding. 48 pages of solid gold. Ended up buying several copies and gifting them to friends and family.
pickSo many good books in 2014! Loved books across genres with myths, reincarnation, classic, historical, science fiction, memoir of one of my favorite movies ever, and a lovely contemporary. But I have to confess I don't remember Whiskey Tango Foxtrot. I almost feel like I should reread it. Why did I love it?
#DecadeofBooks
Have been doing my #DecadeofBooks for the past week or so. These are my 2013 5 stars. I highly recommend all 5 books but I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings is definitely the top of the list. If you haven't read it, take the time to do so. Ms. Angelou is one of the best writers I've read. She has 7 memoirs about different parts of her life. Beautiful writing & so engaging.
pickA look back at my 5🌟 in 2012 #DecadeofBooks
I loved every single one of these books! Each so unique and wonderful or adventurous or funny or sweet or a deep dive. I highly recommend each and every single one.
pickMy look back on a #DecadeofBooks with a focus on 2011 today. Only had 2 - 5🌟 reads, which I'm really surprised about because I did read 114 books. Had 40 - 4🌟 & 46 - 3🌟 books. So not a bad year of reading.
84, Charing Cross Road is such a charming read! I can't recommend it highly enough.
The Sister Brothers is a quirky, bizarre and funny western. Never in a million years did I think I'd enjoy a western about hired killer brothers.
I keep a record of the books I read each month and pick a favorite at the end of the year. Here are my fiction favorites of the decade. #2010s #decadeofbooks
