Hello my friends, I hope this post finds you all well. I hope your holidays were happy and the year to come holds nothing but health and happiness for you and your loved ones.
I have received feedback from some of you requesting a top ten (or so) list of my favorite books from Lisa’s Reads this year. After giving the requests a lot of thought I came to this conclusion….I CAN’T do it. I just CAN’T. Why, You ask? I’ll tell you. If you read the “About Me” section at the top of the page, or if you have been following this blog over the course of the year, you know that I only post books that I LOVE. I don’t have a rating system…I don’t do negative reviews…I ONLY post books that have won my heart. That being the case, how could I possibly choose ten books that I love more than the rest of the books I have claimed to love up until this point. To me, it would be like asking a parent to choose which child she loves more. I can’t do it. As any good mom would say, while I do love all of the children (or in this case my books) the same amount, I love them for different reasons. So what I thought I would do is list for you ALL of the books I reviewed or even mentioned in my blog this year. However, I will break them into genres/categories to make it a little less overwhelming for you. **Please understand, the books listed below are NOT listed in any particular order!** It is also important to note that while, for the purpose of this post, I have placed the books in one list or another, a lot of them can be in more then one genre. When you click on each book, you will be taken directly to it’s original post, there you will be able to see if the book falls into another genre. Have fun!
