I thought maybe I’d create a Top Ten list of books that I read in 2019. But I read 143 books this year—and almost all of them are 4-5 stars (because if they’re less than that, I usually don’t finish them). How do I narrow it down to 10? It was hard, but I did it—and here they are, followed by a bunch of honorable mentions listed by category. 1. Nevermoor & Wondersmith by Jessica Townsend Middle Grade/Young Adult Fantasy Some fantasy violence, suspenseful situations. […]

My Top Ten 2010 Reads

My Top Ten 2010 Reads

I read 116 books this year—almost all of them fiction. I know I read several non-fiction books, I can think of over a dozen right off the top of my head, but I forget to add them to my reading list. Must be a mental block of some sort. Whatever. Anyway, inspired by the gals over at LDS Women’s Book Review, I decided to do a Top 10 list of fiction books that I read in 2010 (in descending order): 10. One Door Away from […]
