I’d intended to do a list of my favorite ten, but who can limit themselves to ten? So here are my top fifteen. I read 125 books that I remembered to write down in my file. About 90% were YA, 5% were MG and 5% were adult or nonfiction.
I am going to put them in the order I read them because I don’t like to choose one over the other. These books are ones I’ve read this year, not ones published this year (although a lot of them are new). Enjoy!
