  • I finally read 11/22/63 last year.  It was my favorite.

    Apparently I've very stingy with 5 star ratings.  I read 114 books last year and only 8 were 5 star.  On top of that, 5 were re reads.

  • I think the Wayward Pines series was my favorite.  The first book was my favorite of them.
    Or maybe the Martian.
  • Fiction: The Nightingale, Non-Fiction: Missoula

  • 13 Reasons Why really stands out, but Wayward Pines was really good too. One of the few second books in a series that wasn't boring. Wild would have to be close to the top too.

    SnShne I'm so unfair with ratings I pretty much stopped. I was giving everything 3 stars even though I haven't been disappointed. Not sure why I have such a hard time giving a good review

    I give mostly 3s and 4s.  Sometimes a 2, and rarely a 1.  I feel a little harsh about not giving 5s, but I feel like I need to finish a book with a "wow" to do it.  Maybe I just didn't read books with"wow" last year?

    I'd have to go with The Martian. I really loved that.

    On an interesting side note, I realized that if you took The Bane Chronicles (sub-novellas from the Cassandra Clare Infernal Devices books) and placed them next to one another they make a big image of Magnus Bane. I read it on kindle as one book but it shows up in my GR as the individual pieces. Neat!

    (I tried to copy/paste here but I couldn't get the images to line up right)

  • Can I cheat and say the Grisha series, since it is technically 3 books?
