Shaunesay Hello Hello! It's almost time for the September 24 hour read-a-thon! In fact it may already be time for some of you depending on where you are! From Midnight to Midnight in your time zone!

Read as much or as little as you like, no pressure, just enjoy yourself!

To get us started off, as you're checking in, please recommend one or more of the best books you've read this year, because our TBR's are never big enough!

I'll start off, I have read so many amazing books this year:

The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas The Fifth Season (The Broken Earth, #1) by N.K. Jemisin The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin The Bedlam Stacks by Natasha Pulley

I would say these are my top reads so far, the ones that really grabbed hold and kept me interested and engaged. Has anyone else read these? And don't feel bad about rec'ing a book that someone already has, because that just emphasizes it's greatness! ;)

I just started reading Bannerless by Carrie Vaughn tonight, so I'll be working on that, and also Ms. Marvel, Vol. 2 Generation Why by G. Willow Wilson tomorrow.

Good luck everyone!

Kristen Peppercorn  (kiwicanread) | 38 comments The best books I read so far this year were:

message 32: by Hazel (new)

Hazel (hazelev93) The two that come to mind as my top ones this year without checking my lists are

Shaunesay How has everyone's day been? I just laid down for a few minutes and it turned into a 3 hour nap! How has the reading gone? I've finished Ms. Marvel vol 2 so far.

All is great I finished two graphic novels and hoping to finish reading the last 150 pages of The Girl in 6E.
Oh also @Shaunesay will the bonus words be up for the Fall readathon?
