Around ten years ago, when I began delving into reading more seriously and keeping track of the books I read, I came across most of the books on this list. It's worth noting that my ratings may seem a bit skewed, as not all of them are rated with the highest five-star rating. This is because I have specific criteria for my ratings. Even if a book deeply moved me and evoked strong emotions, if I didn't find the writing style or storyline compelling enough, it could still receive a four-star rating. On the other hand, there are books I've given five stars to that I can't recall what initially appealed to me. Ratings, in my opinion, are subjective, and I acknowledge that I can't always be completely logical or critical when assigning them. Naturally, I have my biases towards certain genres or tropes. Out of the 343 books on my shelf, I have selected 15 that have earned either a five-star or four-star rating. These books represent the cream of the crop, so to speak, an

Your blog name reminded of a line from, I Capture the Castle.
“ I write this sitting in the kitchen sink.”
TRUE STORY I have a book that I was"fighting" with my Grandma over the last time we went camping together before she passed away. It's a blue cover and has a couple on the front with a storm and ship in the background. I have no idea what it's called but STILL try to look for it at any kind of used book sale or garage sale I find even though it's been almost 20 years. At least I know what it's about!
ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I shared the first line from My Dearest Dietrich by Amanda Barratt. I just finished A Glitter of Gold by Liz Johnson but I'm about to start The Healing Jar by Wanda Brunstetter so I'll share that first line here: "Tears sprang to Lenore Lapp’s eyes as she stood with the others who had come to witness this special English wedding." Happy reading!
Hi Becca,
DeleteI can definitely relate to that too. Thank you for posting here and nice to meet you 😊
Sounds like a fun read! Today I'm sharing the first line from The Killing Tide by Dani Pettrey: "Fire ripped through Finn's right shoulder, ricocheting down his arm." Have a great weekend!
