I originally saw this over at Living a Joyful Life and thought it looked fun :)
How would your answers compare?
Currently reading?
- Well, I'm sort of cheating, since it's already past the middle of January, but since you asked,
- I'm finishing up The Missing Treasures of Amy Ashton (by Eleanor Ray),
- making my way slowly through We Wrote in Symbols: Love and Lust by Arab Women Writers (edited by Selma Dabbagh),
- and just starting Ship of Blood: Mutiny and Slaughter Aboard the Harry A. Berwind, and the Quest for Justice (by Charles Oldham).
- 100
- 97
- 89/8
- 22/74 and one non-binary author
- Golly! My five-star reads in 2021 were (in no particular order):
- The Age of Witches by Louisa Morgan
- Magic Lessons: The Prequel to Practical Magic by Alice Hoffman
- The Violence by Delilah S. Dawson
- What Could Be Saved by Liese O'Halloran Schwarz
- The Memory Collectors by Kim Neville
- The World Played Chess by Robert Dugoni
- Eight Perfect Hours by Lia Louis
- The Book of Magic by Alice Hoffman
- Writing a book is hard, and I just don't have it in my heart to call a book out as my least favorite.
- Totally just guessing on this one:
- The Devil in the White City: Murder, Magic, and Madness at the Fair That Changed America by Erik Larsen
- Veritas: A Harvard Professor, a Con Man, and the Gospel of Jesus' Wife by Ariel Sabar
- It's Not About the Gun: Lessons from My Global Career as a Female FBI Agent by Kathy Stearman
- Here She Is: The Complicated Reign of the Beauty Pageant in America by Hilary Levey Friedman
- Three-Martini Afternoons at the Ritz: The Rebellion of Sylvia Plath and Anne Sexton by Gail Crowther
- Unchosen by Katharyn Blair
- Libertie by Kaitlyn Greenidge
- Litani by Jess Lourey
- Constance by Matthew FitzSimmons
- Unthinkable by Brad Parks
- Swindle by Gordon Korman (audio book)
- None
- I think two?
- A handful, but mostly ARCs
- I'm sad to say, I do probably more than half of my reading on my kindle, so I don't see book covers often enough to pick a favorite.
- See above - writing is hard and I don't want to call someone's book 'disappointing.'
- Hard to say. I still think about The Violence by Delilah S. Dawson because of the pandemic stuff. I also think about the witch books I read from time to time.
- I suppose it depends on what you like. My five-star books are all worth recommending, I think. I've also added a few favorite authors. I'd never say no to books from Alice Hoffman, John Bishop, Robert McCaw, and Lia Louis, for example.
