I know right. I was thinking the same thing!

I agree! Every time I see these lists it makes me kinda sad cause it's always mystery/thriller, YA, or non-fiction basically."


Remember it would be biased towards books that don't take too long to read :)

C I N D L E Lovely Michelle still holding strong to the top 5. That's my First Lady! For anyone who is interested but has yet to read her memoir, 'Becoming', it is superb! Deftly written, witty, and powerfully insightful.

I'm confident it will end up being in my top 5 fave books completed in 2019. No doubt!


message 106: by Katherine (new)

message 136: by Saskia (new)

Saskia I wish this site had a way to browse / filter what other people are reading at the moment. I would love to filter what other peole read by age/education and location for example. I feel like many high ranking books are highschool girl books..


message 137: by Jacki Prettyman (new)

Jacki Prettyman A Curve In The Road was a fabulous read. Also truly enjoyed How The Light Gets In by Jolina Petersheim as well as The Overdue Life of Amy Byler. The Peas and Carrots series by Hannah Lynn is definitely worth your time as well.

Alison Davis Things in Jars by Jess Kidd - incredible.

message 141: by Karen (new)

Karen Keith Interesting list. I've read Educated by Tara Westover and really enjoyed it. I'll definitely be reading Where the Crawdads Sing (Delia Owens), The Library Book (Susan Olean), and Elinor Oliphant is Completely Fine (Gail Honeyman). Maybe will read Becoming (Michelle Obama), but not really that interested in it.

message 149: by Janie (new)
