2016 has been a good reading year for me. I was “back to my books,” so to speak, and that’s a lovely feeling! Here are the covers to my top ten 5-star reviews on my Goodreads challenge page this year. Although I really enjoyed all of the books I read, my favorite of the year was one I have read numerous times in my life: The Fellowship of the Ring, by J.R.R. Tolkien. I will tell you the story of WHY it was my favorite in a separate post.
I hope that you enjoyed your 2016 reading. Happy New Year to each of you and best wishes for a wonderful reading year in 2017!
A Fondness For Reading 
Ah, when I come here for such lists, I know I will see my old friends. I bet not one other list has Miss Read, let alone The Ghost and Mrs. Muir (which I must get), or Enid Blyton! And for all his popularity I rarely, rarely see AMS on any favorite books lists. Why is that?

Oh, how I loved Enid Blyton when I was a little girl!
Our Souls at Night is a lovely, lovely gem of a book and I hope to read it again in the coming years. Kent Haruf will be deeply missed, won’t he?
