This Year we have read over 150 books together and probably another 50 separately. If you are an avid reader, you can probably understand why picking favorites this year has been nearly impossible. We have both been stressing and trying to figure this all out for weeks now. We have finally come up with the answer that works for us… we just can’t do it! hahaha So this year we have decided in our bookish wisdom (hehe) to do things a little differently than last year. We decided to separate them into our top genres and we only picked a TOP 3 which trust me was hard enough. Below that we have listed a lot of our other favorites from that group in no particular order. It was just too difficult! This has been one of the best years yet in reading.

Our categories this year are: 

• Young Adult

• Historical Fiction

• General Fiction

• Psychological Thriller/Mystery/Suspense

Anyone who follows us at all can probably guess which of our lists will be the longest….well here goes!
