It's time to celebrate my year in books. I will be spreading my favorites throughout a bunch of categories, but these are all favorites. For more of my favorites, check out my Five Star Friday posts. Today I will be sharing.....
Favorite Backlist Books!
It's that time of year when we reflect on all the books we read and highlight some of our favorites. As I write this, I have read 322 books with a large number being books published before 2025 that I have had on my library wishlist or languishing on my kindle unread. I am happy to have finally made time for these books, and I hope to read even MORE backlist books next year.
- The Life List by Lori Nelson Spielman
- Under the Southern Sky by Kristy Woodson Harvey
- The Attic on Queen Street by Karen White
- Zorrie by Laird Hunt
- The School for Essential Ingredients by Erica Bauermeister

ReplyDeleteSame!
Zorrie sounds particularly intriguing.
I picked it up because I needed a Z book, but it was actually very good. Zorrie was an intriguing character who had a tough but interesting life.
DeleteI tend to read mostly backlist! I haven't read any of these, but I do want to catch up on Kristy Woodson Harvey.
ReplyDeleteEvery year I claim I will request less ARCs and read more shelf and library books, but I am weak. Harvey quickly became a favorite she writes wonderful friendships in her books.
DeleteI'm still compiling my year end list, but Middlesex is definitely a backlist title that I thoroughly enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteMiddlesex is new-to-me (and quite chonky) but is quite a decorated book from the Goodreads entry. Fun fact, I live in Middlesex county LOL.
