As I was writing one day, I had a brilliant (coughcough) idea. Why not make a list of my top favorite books that I’ve read this year and share them with you all? Of course, that meant choosing only 15. Not an easy task I assure you. Especially since I read 54 books this year!
These are in no particular order because that’s just taking things a little too far.
- City of Tranquil Light by Bo Caldwell
- Time Enough for Drums by Ann Rinaldi
- The Silent Governess by Julie Klassen
- Little Britches by Ralph Moody
- Maire by Linda Windsor
- An Assembly Such as This by Pamela Aidan (and series)
- The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
- Tucker Mills Trilogy by Lori Wick
- Little Lord Fauntleroy by Frances Hodgson Burnett
- Happily Ever After by Susan May Warren
- Lord of the Ring series by J.R.R. Tolkien
- Everyday Life in the 1800s by Marc McCutcheon
- Lights of the Veil by Patty Metzer
- Rocky Mountain Memories series by Lori Wick
- A Wrinkle in Time by Madeleine L’engle
Okay, so I might have cheated by choosing whole series’..But I couldn’t help it. And it’s my blog, so I can get away with it!
If you want to check out the books I’ve read this year on Goodreads and how I did with my year’s challenge, check it out here! I did want to read more health-focused books, as well as more biographies this year but I’ll have to move that goal on to next year’s reading goals. Overall, there were only a few books that I really didn’t enjoy. Either that means that I am getting better at picking books, or my standards have fallen… Let’s go with the first option, I like that one better.
Thanks for stopping by SGL and I hope you take the time to look around,
Happy Chanukah and Merry Christmas,
Laura

Have you read any more of the ‘Wrinkle’ series? I’m curious if they are as good as the first!

I couldn’t believe that this year was the first time I’d read it either! Hope you enjoy it! (don’t forget to read the Hobbit as well) Thanks for coming by and taking the time to comment!
