DNF for Homegoing.. Must be the only one who didn't bother. Loved the Nix, and will look for the other 2.

Only Our Souls... aligned in your 5 stars. Must look for the first 4

It's the first year in a long time Crossroads hasn't been a major factor in my reading. We just haven't discussed that many books. I haven't calculated lately, but I think my percentage of female authors has dropped this year.

Edit: Ouch. 19 female authors to 27 male.
