*These are books I read for a book award committee and decided not to post about them publicly.
**I literally forgot to write a post about this, and didn't realize it until now. D'oh!
***These are re-reads that I just didn't want to post about for a second time.

So there's my list! The last 5 years I've gone a little over a hundred, and I think my recent lack of audiobook listening is what made a difference this year. It doesn't matter to me though - it's not a contest.

I had so many favorites this year, but those I gave 5 stars to on Goodreads were:
The Wanderers, The Hate U Give, The Fact of a Body, Touch, and Moxie.

Special mention goes to The Power, Binti, Miss Jane, and Young Jane Young, though truthfully I could keep going. I read a lot of great books.

Here's to another great year of reading!
