I read 19 books (out of 70) that I rated 4/5 or above. I rated these 6 a 4.25 or above. They made my Best Reads list!
1. Inside the O'Briens (Genova) ~ Realistic Fiction
2. What I Know For Sure (Winfrey) ~ Non-Fiction
3. Calling Me Home (Kibler) ~ Historical Fiction
4. The Fast Metabolism Diet (Pomroy) ~ Non-Fiction
5. Igniting a Passion for Reading (Layne) ~ Professional Non-Fiction
6. Our Souls at Night (Haruf) ~ Fiction
Regarding books (being that this is a book blog and all), I hope that 2016 brings us all lots of great reads. In all else, much health, joy and happiness.
I read the Oprah Winfrey book and enjoyed it too.
ReplyDeleteBermudaonion ~ Did you read Our Souls at Night? I think you'd really like that one.
DeleteInteresting. I think of you as reading mostly thrillers/mysteries, but none of your top 6 were thrillers. Maybe you don't read so many thrillers and I only notice the mystery titles?
ReplyDeleteI'll write down 1,3 and 6 titles for future reference. (I've already read/browsed the Fast Metabolism Diet. I just need to 'do' it. Did you try it?)
Raidergirl3 ~ I noticed that, too!!! (no thrillers in best reads) I still mostly read thrillers/suspense, but apparently none of them stood out this year. :(
DeleteDon't just write 1, 3, and 6 down . . . READ THEM! :) Sooooo good.
I'll respond to the FMD question in an email (probably tomorrow).
I haven't read any of these, Joy, but Calling Me Home is on my TBR pile. I hope I enjoy it as much as you did.
ReplyDeleteLiterary Feline ~ I imagine you will! Happy Reading!
DeleteGreat reading year. Calling Me Home has been on my TBR list for too long! Happy New Year.
ReplyDeleteNise' ~ You'll really like it! I just don't understand how you can read so many books a month! You are a reading machine!
DeleteInside the O'Briens was so powerful and sad. Happy new Year.
ReplyDeleteDiane ~ Yes, Genova is fantastic with realistic fiction. I think very highly of her.
DeleteThe only one I've reads is the Oprah one and I liked it too!
ReplyDeleteStxcybuckeye ~ I think you'd like most of the list! :)
