HANDS down, the best book I read this year (and possibly the last few years) is Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi. This story spans generations and follows different descendants of an Asante woman named Maame. It's truly an incredible book, I highly recommend!

I'm almost done with Stephen King's newest book Billy Summers about a hitman and his last job. It's a fun read!

Every few years, I reread The Other Boleyn Girl by Philippa Gregory and Gone with the Wind by Margaret Mitchell, two of my favorite books of all time. I love the stories and how I fall right into their world.

I've never read these specific books but I've read books by all of these authors. "All the Lights We Cannot See" by Anthony Doerr, "Big Little Lies" by Liane Moriarty, and "The Firm" by John Grisham and I loved them all. I can understand why their books are some of the most requested books at the Library, and I'll definitely add these titles to my ever-growing "To Be Read" list!
