The Bookworm Challenge discussion

I was curious to know if anyone read any books last year they thought were really great! Thought I'd share mine:

Gone with the Wind = best

Tied for second would be The Night Circus, The Name of the Wind, Seabiscuit: An American Legend, and Beartown.

The rest in no particular order:
Forest of a Thousand Lanterns
Bloodsucking Fiends (the whole series)
The Martian
The Spy Who Came In from the Cold
The Snow Child
Dark Matter
The Caspak Trilogy

Ooooh! I love talking about faves! :) Here are my 5 star reads this year (in no particular order). I've starred the ones I consider the best of the best

Every Breath
The One and Only Ivan
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
*Ayiti
The Hating Game
The One-in-a-Million Boy
*The Poet X (listen to the audiobook - fantastic!)
*The Almost Sisters
This Savage Song
Opal

Miss Pettigrew was made into a movie but I'm afraid to watch it. I hardly ever like what they do to my favorite books. Has anyone seen it? I had several rereads this year. Sometimes I just want to read something I know is good.

I read so many great books this year. Here they are in no particular order. And everyone's favorites are already trying to distract me from my TBR resolution.

The Hate U Give
The Almost Sisters
Station Eleven
The Secret Life of Bees
The Fiery Cross
The One and Only Ivan
I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban
The Godfather
Beartown
The Kite Runner
The American Plague: The Untold Story of Yellow Fever, the Epidemic That Shaped Our History
The Art of Racing in the Rain
The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society
Ready Player One
Big Little Lies
The Poet X
The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
Beneath a Scarlet Sky
The Rosie Project

and two rereads:

Same here, Linda! So many awesome books on this list, and my TBR is growing again!

Haha mine too! Such a problem

Sorry for the newbie comment but how are you guys putting the hyperlink in your lists? I type the title and such but not getting a hyperlink so it must not be automatic.

When you click in the comment box there should be a line above it that says "add book/author" . When you click on it you get a search box. Enter the title of your book and click add to enter it. I think you can only do it through the website not the app.

You are correct Connie, Thanks. I had been using the app 99% of the time but I'm seeing there are many other features (like editing Comments) the website has the app does not.

Yes, I was doing the same thing. Now I mostly just use the app to enter my books because I can scan them. For everything else I use the web site.
