This week’s Top 5 Wednesday, hosted by the Good Reads group, is: Books You’re Thankful For. I’m going to stick with books that I’ve read this year only.
1. Now That You Mention It by Kristan Higgins. Some books you read at the perfect moment and this was one of them. This was exactly what I needed at the time I read it.
2. Making Faces by Amy Harmon. This is the book that introduced me to Amy Harmon, so I will always be thankful for it. It’s beautiful and emotional and I loved it. It also is a mainstream book that did not portray people of faith as hypocrites or psychos.
3. Now You See Me (Lacey Flint #1) by SJ Bolton (aka: Sharon Bolton). This is the book that introduced me to Sharon Bolton who has become one of my favorite authors and the Lacey Flint series has become one of my favorite series of all time.
4. The Good Daughter by Karin Slaughter. This is the book that brought Karin Slaughter to town so I could finally meet her! She is another of my favorites.
5. The Secret (DS Imogen Grey #2) by Katerina Diamond. Another new favorite series discovered this year. This book was just so entertaining and I didn’t want to stop reading it.
Stephanie's Book Reviews 
Kristan Higgins is good. I’m reading two books of hers at the moment, Angel Falls and The Nightingale. You made me curious about Making Faces 🙂 Thanks for this!
I think you’re thinking of Kristin Hannah, not Kristan Higgins? I haven’t read anything by Kristin Hannah, but I’ve heard she’s really good. I want to read The Nightingale. And I definitely recommend you try out Making Faces!
Thank you! So easy to get confused with those two names!:D
The names are quite similar!
Love this post!! I am thankful for both KH’s books I read this year. They stuck with me, and most books don’t. I will always remember when I read On Second Thought, because I took it with me on our Disney vacation. It will hold a special place in my heart now. I also remember when I read Making Faces. Only the really amazing books leave that kind of impression on me!
Thanks! I do love that certain books can remind you of certain times of your life – like songs.
Yay for Making Faces! I am so excited to read that Higgins book. Every time you include it in a post, I get more excited!
It was very good! I hope that you end up loving it as much as I did!
I think I’ve The Good Daughter for quite awhile ! :O Very curious to see what you think of it !
I actually have already read The Good Daughter. My review is here: https://stephaniesbookreviews.wordpress.com/2017/07/11/review-the-good-daughter-by-karin-slaughter/ 🙂
The Good Daughter!!! I’m going to be reading that one really soon, and seeing it on this list gives me A LOT of hope!!! Expectations are sky high now. 😀 One book I’m really thankful for is Crime & Punishment. I’ll never forget how amazing that book was as a reading experience. So. Much. Depth! Awesome list, Stephanie!! 😉
I really liked The Good Daughter. Almost anything by Karin Slaughter I am a big fan of 🙂 I am so impressed that you read Crime & Punishment. Long books like that just intimidate me so much!
Ahh some of these I’m also thankful for!! But I wouldn’t know which ones to pick, the list would be so long!
It was hard to narrow them down, for sure!
Making Faces ♡♡ ♡♡ ♡♡ Sooooo good!!!! Can’t wait what her newest book will be all about.
