Favorite Books through June 2025

Sister of my heart,  Lesa Holstine, posted her favorite books of the year (so far) at her blog.

It reminded me that I had not yet posted my own, so here 'tis.  A little late, but here, nonetheless.

Some of the books on this list may not be available yet as I read them as Advance Reading Copies through NetGalley. com, but they're available for pre-ordering and are worth waiting for.

Happy Reading!

Lesa's Book Critiques

 Lesa's Book Critiques will be gaining some new features since its mistress, my pal Lesa Holstine, retired from her long career as Super Librarian.  

One of the new features will be Sunday Spotlights.  

I'm lucky enough to be her first Spotlight guest.
