Currently, I average about a book every other day and I try not to read too many 'popular' or 'main stream' books (e.g. Read my reviews/see my ratings on Goodreads. I have hundreds and hundreds of 4-star books. If you need an 'escape' right now from all the goings on, this post is your best friend. I get most of my books from the library (libby app or hoopla) but also buy from Chirp and audible. I am not linking to Amazon (or other) to avoid making any money off this post-it is a public service. If I really (really!) enjoy something, it gets 4-stars (or 4.5 stars).ĥ-stars are reserved for books I love so much I think everyone should read them ) LD, 9780593162590.After reading/listening to more than 1,000 books, here is my (growing!) list of 5-star favorites.
