Great question! I‘ve read quite a few outstanding books so far, but I think my favorite has to be ‘A Gentleman in Moscow‘ with ‘The Remains of the Day‘ coming in as a close second.

rachelk @mdhughes72 Ooh, I‘ve got ‘The Female Persuasion‘ here — I‘ll have to get to it soon! 5y
megnews Thanks for sharing! I‘m getting lots of great recommendations from this question. 5y
rachelk @megnews I‘m seeing some good recommendations too! Great post. :) 5y

I‘m really bad at following directions and/or choosing just one, so I have a few contenders for my #bestbooksofar2019 😃

🌟 The Highland Witch by Susan Fletcher
🌟 A Ladder to the Sky by John Boyne
🌟 Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield
🌟 The Lost Queen by Signe Pike

megnews I recently read my first John Boyne and want to check out something else by him. Will keep this one in mind. Thanks for sharing!! 5y
Soubhiville Yes to Ladder and Once Upon a River! Both excellent! 5y

#bestbooksofar2019

megnews I‘m so glad to hear The Warmth of Other Suns is one of your favorites so far this year. I‘m reading it now. Never heard of Dreamland Burning but it sounds great. Stacked. 5y
mhillis @megnews It‘s long and worth reading! I liked how the author was able to zoom in on three specific stories yet still capture the wider situation 5y

Winner:
“Sing, Unburied, Sing” by Jesmyn Ward

Runner-Up:
“The House on Mango Street” by Sandra Cisneros

monalyisha Thanks to @ladyneverwhere & #newyearwhodis (which I organized; is that too immodest? 😅) for the first two books on my list! 5y

megnews Sing Unburied Sing was one of my favs last year. House on Mango Street was in my top 3 so far this year! Thanks for sharing! 5y
monalyisha @megnews Sounds like we have really similar taste! I‘ll have to pay special attention to your reviews. 😉 5y
Joreads I have read two of Jane Harper‘s books The Dry and the Lost Man. Loved them both. I‘m a quarter way through her third and it does not disappoint either 5y
Joreads @Kimberlone I need to read that series it‘s been on my list for ages 5y
LogiKitty Haven't read too many but! Sadie (Courtney Summers) was my #1, followed my Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children (Ransom Riggs), & lastly The Harvest (Alanah Andrews) 5y
ladyneverwhere Oh yay! I'm so glad those two are still so high up there for you. Heroine Complex and Difficult Women would definitely be up there in my top few for this year. And I finally get Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating from the library. . . But I didn't read it fast enough and had to return it 😜 5y
