January
Favorite: The Winners, by Fredrik Backman
Rating: 5 stars
Release Year: 2022
I cried at the end. That's all you need to know.
Least Favorite: Moon of the Crusted Snow, by Waubgeshig Rice
Rating: 3 stars
Release Year: 2018
I wish there had been either more overt folklore/horror themes or none at all.
February
Favorite: Here One Moment, by Liane Moriarty
Rating: 5 stars
Release Year: 2024
This was SO good. I definitely want to read more by Liane Moriarty!
Least Favorite: I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings, by Maya Angelou
Rating: 4 stars
Release Year: 1969
I feel bad putting this as my least favorite book of February, but I read a lot of really good books that month, and this was the one I enjoyed the least.
March
Favorite: The Storm Keepers' Battle, by Catherine Doyle
Rating: 4 stars
Release Year: 2021
I loved this whole series! Great themes, great writing, great characters, great atmosphere, unique magic system. I'm looking forward to reading more by Catherine Doyle!
Least Favorite: Heart of Darkness, by Joseph Conrad
Rating: 2 stars
Release Year: 1899
If there was a point to this book, I missed it because my blood was boiling at all the racism.
April
Favorite: Three Days in June, by Anne Tyler
Rating: 4.5 stars
Release Year: 2025
This was a quick, thoughtful read that I really enjoyed. The characters felt very real to me.
Least Favorite: Bad Therapy: Why the Kids Aren't Growing Up, by Abigail Shrier
Rating: 2.5 stars
Release Year: 2024
I agreed with a lot of the author's points, but the way she went about making them set my teeth on edge. I get mad whenever I think about this book.
May
Favorite: As You Wish: Inconceivable Tales from the Making of The Princess Bride, by Cary Elwes
Rating: 5 stars
Release Year: 2014
This was a reread (or re-listen) for me and I loved it just as much the second time around–possibly more, since I hadn't actually watched the movie the first time I listened to the book!
Least Favorite: This is Marketing: You Can't be Seen until You Learn to See, by Seth Godin
Rating: 2.5 stars
Release Year: 2018
I read this for work. I did not enjoy it. This is a problem since marketing is literally my job. Hence why I blog about books for fun.
