Favorite 5⭐ rating this year?
I have read Beartown but I have read other Backman books and recommend A Man called Ove, Anxious People and My Grandmother Asked Me to Tell You She's Sorry, all by him and awesome reads.

Bridge of Clay by Markus Zusak. i will never not think of this book.
Andy Weir's Project Hail Mary, was really satisfied with the book.
The Kite Runner. The way I cried my eyes out reading it. 100% recommend
The one book series I’ve read this year that comes to mind is Fourth Wing even though it’s been out. And that was special cause I read it around the New Year.
So far my only 5 star read was Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier

"Ripley Under Ground" by Patricia Highsmith even though I won't read it again before our trip to Maine in October. But IMHO it's the best volume in the Ripliad.
Boys of Tommen, specifically Keeping 13 and Redeeming 6. I think about them daily :)
Def the American roommate experiment
One Dark Window duology, The Jasad Heir and A River Enchanted
The Frozen River, and The Winternight trilogy!
Oh and how did I forget Emily Wilde's Map of the Otherlands?!
The frozen river, let us desend, shark heart, Five broken blades, Listen for the lie, a calmity of souls, the stardust grail
I've been re-reading a lot this year so many old faves and many 5 stars but my favorite new read has been Hamnet. Gorgeous and devastating book ♥
I have a few I think of nonstop currently God of Fury by Rina Kent
Legendborn by Tracy Deonn
Blood of Hercules by Jasmine Mas
Here are my 5 star Leslie F*cking Jones, Leslie Jones
The Black Guy Dies First: Black Horror Cinema from Fodder to Oscar, Robin R. Means Coleman
William, Mason Coile
Nation of the Beasts: The Lord of the Sabbath - Mariana Palova
Nightstrider by Sophia Slade. 100% my favorite fantasy/romantasy this year, and possibly that I've read so far. There was nothing I didn't like about it.Also Water Moon by Samantha Sotto Yambao. This book was an absolute dream and so beautiful.
I just gave 5 stars to jade city by fonda Lee. Can't wait to read the rest
The Housemaid by Freida Mcfadden and Tangled Vines by John Glatt
Taking note from this coz I still haven't had one :((
For me, it's between Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger and Babel by R.F. Kuang.
MY FAVORITE BOOK & WHY:Carlos Ruiz Zafón’s, novel, “ The Shadow of the Wind,” is my favorite book. “…it’s about a man who wrote them, about a character who broke out of the pages of a novel so that he could burn it, about betrayal and lost friendship. It’s a story of love, of hatred, and of the dreams that live in the shadow of the wind.” Zafón’s prose is quote-worthy; his dialogue sharp, and imagery both vivid and poetic.
The ‘Mindf$ck’ series by S.T. Abby was 5/5 for me. I was sad to finish it
Collision on Tenerife by Jon Ziomek. It is about a double airline crash in the Canary Islands in the late 1970s. It has a significant impact on the way that I conduct emergency response training.
Babel by RF Kuang, The silent patient by Alex Michaelides.
I have soooooooooo many 5 star books but the most memorable are Fourth Wing (easily my fav) and the Twisted Series (cuz I luv interconnected standalones)
Syed sabira wrote: "CRIME AND PUNISHMENT BY DOESTOEVSKY! anyone else likes that book?"I love it. I read it when I was 16. Eventually, I read all of Dostoyevsky's works. The Idiot and The Possessed (also known as The Devils) are also excellent books.
The Complete Gail Simone Red Sonja Omnibus
5⭐'s
#graphicnovel #graphicart #adventurestory #swordandsorcery
Red Sonja character created by Robert E. Howard (creator of Conan) but the graphic novel sword and sorcery character created by Roy Thomas.
Tremendous adventure.

The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas.Absolutely incredible and lived up to all of my expectations, but wow did it ever put me into the worst reading slump of my life. Starting to get back into it now though!
