These are my #fave5 at the moment. I've left out a lot ? All of these books made me think, "I didn't know you could write a book like that" or made me see the world with new eyes.

Thanks for the opportunity @Oryx

Oryx Thanks for sharing! Not familiar with these, so really interesting! 8y
Jess_Read_This Great post! I'm not familiar with the bottom three and really want to check them out now! 8y
saresmoore @vivastory Has gently nudged me to go ahead and read Lolly Willowes, oh I dunno, four times now? Ha! Thanks for an additional reminder! 8y

batsy @Jess_Read_This Thanks! Frantz Fanon is the only nonfiction here and it's powerful and stirring. The rest are some amazing fiction :) @Oryx 8y
batsy @saresmoore @vivastory Yay! It's one of my favourite books and I rarely "meet" ppl who recommend it so that makes me happy ? 8y
vivastory @batsy @saresmoore Lolly Willowes is great. It's beautifully written & full of important ideas without being too dense. Love it. 8y

The Odyssey | Robert Fitzgerald

Picking favorites of anything is usually a tough ask for me. Top three are old favorites. The Odyssey is definitely due for a reread. The City of Dreaming Books is one of my favorite book about books. Moondogs was one of my favorite debuts. There are other amazing books missing from this stack. #fave5 @Oryx

vivastory I need to read City of Dreaming Books 8y
Oryx I really enjoyed the Odyssey. Reading it felt like a real accomplishment for me. 8y

Choosing a #fave5 was hard! So I had to narrow it down to my top five of the last 12 months. And we all know, series count as one book. Right? 😄

Thanks for doing this @Oryx 👌👏

#fave5 books of all time. Thanks for the fun contest @Oryx

blankpagesofmine I haven't read any of these!! Which one would you recommend the most? 8y
Betty_Bookworm @blankpagesofmine Depends on what you are in the mood for. They are each so very amazing in their own ways and I reread them all regularly. 8y
blankpagesofmine I will definitely add some of these to my tbr. I'm probably most curious about Station Eleven and The Bell Jar, since those I've heard the most feedback anout 8y
Liatrek I really enjoyed the Namesake been meaning to find the movie and watch it. 8y

I haven't been on Litsy lately, life has been so busy! We have visitors coming the next few weeks, too. I may not get much reading squeezed in.
My #Fave5 at the moment. @Oryx thanks for the chance!

Oryx Since I've read four of those and love them too, I'm guessing I might enjoy the 5th one too. Hadn't heard of it. Added to my tbr. 😀 8y
