Martin Hospitality has been a favorite for me this year too! The more I hear about Control Girl, the more I want to read it. ;) Looks like you had a great book year!! Here's to a fantastic 2018! :D
ReplyDeleteWasn't it an awesome book? *Hugs book and author* Control Girl is definitely an amazing book. It really changed my outlook on a lot of things. It was pretty awesome! Ditto! =D

Is that a bowl of snow to munch on? Haha I hope so, that is for sure something I would do! Always so out of the book loop but hopefully not for long.

Beautiful pictures! Lol, did you make snow-ice cream?
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing the book titles... I have heard of a few of them, but am interested in checking some of them out. Two of my absolute favorite books that I read this year was Kisses From Katie and No Compromise.

Thank you! Yep, probably way more then I should have eaten. ;D
DeleteOh, Kisses From Katie was good. I hope you find some new books to read here! =D

I have read some of these books! A couple of the others look pretty good though! :D
ReplyDeleteThats awesome! Which one is your favorite that you've read? =D
DeleteI really liked "Martin Hospitality" and "Gift from the Storm" was great too! :)
DeleteAwesome! Both of those are awesome. I loved the style of MH and I love amnesia story's so GFTS was right up my ally. ;D
DeleteYes! I made the list! *does a happy dance* Now to read the few on this list that I haven't
ReplyDeleteWell, you would have taken more spots, but I thought that might look like favoritism. ;) Know that all your books are one my "favorites" list.
DeleteWhat?! My book made your top of the year list? I'm flattered, honored, and excited. :) Thank you for loving it. (And in case you wanted to know, personality wise, I'm Sara, only I dislike cooking.)
ReplyDeleteHmm, of this list I've read: A Place Called Lonesome, Red Boots, Emmeline, and my own. (If that counts.)
It was my pleasure! Awesome! =D
DeleteCool! All those are awesome! I read a lot more short story's this year then last. =)
