(I don’t mind language or sex, though.) Historical Romance I’ll reread it next year or the year after that. *****=Close enough to perfect that I’m rounding it up to perfect. ****1/2=I’d reread and recommend and I wanted to give it five stars but couldn’t quite do it. I know…my book budget is a little…insane. They weren’t gifted by authors or publishers in exchange for a review. Oh, and while I don’t review books professionally, I should probably mention that I buy all my books. I should really pick a top ten reads of the year–but maybe another day–this has taken forever. I really need to transfer this list to Goodreads, but that sounds like such a process it intimidates me. Yeah, I don’t know how I managed to read this many books either. And there were about four months of this year that I didn’t read a single book. As you can see, I like most of what I read, but that’s typically because I read based on recommendations or after checking out a lot of reviews.īelieve it or not, I also wrote four books this year and revised several. I actually do have some reviews on a personal document, so if you ask me my opinion on a specific book, I can probably tell you more. I’m posting the list, but only showing the ratings on books over four stars–and I missed ratings on a few of the early books, so anything without a rating could be something I read early in the year or something I moodily decided I didn’t like this year. I tend to have comfort genres and while, most years, I try for more variety–this year I let myself get away with just reading what I felt like reading. Luckily, I also read fast…and never sleep. When I say I’m an avid reader, I’m not kidding.
