Jennie’s Best Reads of 2015

JennieBook Reviews / Reading ListsBest of 2015 / Reading lists / Top ten11 Comments

Uprooted by Naomi Novik I reviewed this back in June and gave it an A-. Rereading my review, I’m reminded of how much I liked Uprooted and am almost tempted to change my grade to an A. It’s an imaginative and beautifully written fairy tale. Station Eleven by Emily St. ... more >

When Jane asked for our Best of 2012 lists, I knew mine would probably be short but I had no idea how short. I started with 3 books. Three. Books. Total. “WTF?,” I thought. Had I turned into that much of a h8ter? Well, it turns out that I had ... more >

The order here is me going through my reviews in reverse chronological order and listing my A- and B+ reviews (no A reviews — very sad). It was a pleasant surprise, really: I didn’t think I’d read that many good books in 2011. Shows you how memory can be a ... more >
