As the end of the year approaches, I study my lists of books purchased and read, review books received, and favorite books of the year. The latter category is easier, since I add each month’s favorite on a separate list.
One year I whittled the list down to Top Ten Favorites, but I think I’ll publish the whole list.
Right now, I am not sure what book will earn its place on December’s list. There were several books I loved…and it will be hard to pick.
Meanwhile, I recreated my blog header here, just to occupy my time on this bookish site. A week or so ago, I created pages for 2019…and now I realize that I need to create a Favorites of 2019 page, complete with logo.
Okay…you talked me into it. Here is my 2018 Favorites List so far:
1.Great Alone, The (e-book), by Kristin Hannah – 448 pages – (literary fiction) – 1/26/18 – (NG-2/6/18)

Thanks, Kathryn, I’m glad I created the Favorites pages, although I sometimes forget to enter each one…until something makes me realize it. Luckily, I list each month’s favorites, so it is not hard to add them.

I’ve read three of these – my favourite of the three was probably “Our House” by Louise Candlish.
