I enjoyed seeing your list of favorite books. I am on Goodreads and enjoy seeing recommendations from other readers. Looks like your favorite genres are mysteries, thrillers and biographies. I have read some of these books on your list, like Mary Trump's book. Others, like The Perfect Mother, I have on my "to read" shelf. Thanks for sharing your favorites of the year! See you again soon.
ReplyDeleteI like your list - I need to read more biographies but seem to prefer fiction. I have a Goodreads account but never use it. I keep a list of books I've read during the year in an Excel sheet. It has 726 books listed; I started it in 2007.
ReplyDeleteThat is indeed an interesting list.
ReplyDeleteI don't have much time to read and when I think I have the time I will be disturbed. So I read before sleeping. I don't keep a list of what I've read, but I make a pile of books I like and books that I have read but don't need to read again.
What a great list! There are a couple I've added to my ever-growing TBR!
ReplyDeleteI have not read any of the books on your list so I am going to go look for them soon.. I do need to read a few more biographies so this helps :) My Thursday 13 is here
