Happy list making!

My five favorites in the order I read them are:

The Wedding Party by Jasmine Guillory
Insomnia by Stephen King
Maus I: A Survivor's Tale: My Father Bleeds History by Art Spiegelman
Born to Be Hanged: The Epic Story of the Gentlemen Pirates Who Raided the South Seas, Rescued a Princess, and Stole a Fortune by Keith Thomson
The Change by Kirsten Miller

And I also loved The Hill We Climb: An Inaugural Poem for the Country by Amanda Gorman, a single poem in one book, not an entire book of poems.

I've never read Gone with the Wind but I really want to. My mother skipped school once in her life - she was a teenager and pretended to be sick so she could read more of that book. Obviously, it's grabbed my interest.

Best books of October - December

The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune isn't just a best book of the quarter, but one of my new favourite books of all time. The audiobook narrator was so good with voices. It's probably a YA book, but this 59 year old is having a second youth, books included.

The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix
The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America's Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson was terrific.
Ain't i a Woman? Black Women and Feminism by bell hooks
Boyfriend Material by Alexis Hall
