My Favorite Books of the Past 5 Years!

84 Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff absolutely is going to keep going

I really liked that book it was why a fantasy definitely not a favorite but really good still

I loved that novel that year and I definitely still do it was one of the very first times that I saw myself in a main character ... it also has that kind of secret history campus novel set up that I love so much ... is it an all-time favorite though probably not

that's the one that I reviewed while taking vodka shots that was a good time ... if I were ever to make a list of best books set in Russia ... this book would be on there but it is not one of my ultimate favorites

this one it absolutely stays I love this book

that book was all the rage around booktube when I got started it was fantastic ... I'm not convinced this one as a favorite

which was surprisingly a really fun book considering the subject matter ... I'm gonna remove that one from consideration because I don't think it's an all-time favorite

I loved this book I thought it was actually very similar to my all-time favorite book Rules of Civility ... I am not sure how this book is going to stand the test of time ... I can't include this one

if I was making a list of my all-time favorite Russian historical fiction books then yes all-time fiction No

which was not even quite as good as the seven husbands of Evelin Hugo so if I'm not including that one I definitely won't include this one

which was phenomenal but I'm not going to keep it around for consideration

I remember euphoria so vividly I remember some of the lines I remember distinctly what I felt when I was reading that book I really want to reread it I think this is an all-time favorite

I loved fates and Furies I still think about it all the time but I don't think I consider it a favorite

I have the triumph of seeds at number 7 and then feathers at number 6 but of the two of those I am going to put the triumph of seeds on my consideration list

I said in my wrap-up video that is probably now my second favorite Sarah waters novel so as this one is my second favorite Sarah waters novel I'm not going to include it as a contender

another wonderful one but unfortunately not a favorite

I love ages 4 Hawk I think about it all the time I have since gone on to call it probably my favorite non-fiction book of all time so that one definitely stays

was in at number 5 great not including it's same thing

this is an intensely underrated nonfiction book I recommend it so highly I'm keeping it around for now because I seriously love it that much

which was so beautiful but I just don't think I loved it quite enough like it doesn't come up to the level of lab girl

it's not a favorite but I still do geek out every time I think about that book or talk about that book

I loved it so much at the time and definitely still do recommend it but I don't think about it very much anymore ... it's kind of faded so I don't think this one is sticking around

which is still one that I cannot get out of my head but not one I'll include on my favorites list

which is still hitting me so hard thinking about that book but I don't think I'm going to include it on the final list

that was such an interesting book definitely one you need to read a few like food writing not a favorites

my favorite non-fiction book of 2018 is definitely staying around because it's lab girl by hope Sharan oh my god I love that book so much

I love the likeness it probably still is a favorite it's another secret history ask ... the likeness is definitely staying around

which is a tremendous retelling of Pride and Prejudice can I have both Pride and Prejudice and Pride and Prejudice retelling on my favorites list ... we'll keep it around for now

I still love this with all of my heart

I have a tattoo from this book so it stay

same thing for my favorite non-fiction book of 2019 which was maybe you should talk to someone

which is what I'm going to keep around for consideration because I think about that book all the time I want to dive back into it so badly

I love that book ... that is going to keep its place there

the first book in my beloved a Marie Eames mystery series I don't know if I'll consider this one an all-time favorite I think I'll keep it on the list for now because I love that series

it made it onto my favorites list but that's not even my favorite Sarah waters book so we're gonna leave that off

one that I know is going to stick around is my top fiction book of 2018 which was north and south

that book was so much fun I was working as a nanny at the time so it definitely resonated a lot with me really interesting concepts especially if you have kids or work with kids but definitely not an all-time favorite

which once again if I'm not including the thirteenth tale then I definitely won't be including this one

another one I want to keep around for another round because I loved it so much I still laugh thinking about that book

that's my favorite Jane Austen novel that has to stay

I loved it at the time I still think of it very fondly ... but I don't think that it's on my mind enough

I'm really surprised I don't want to include all of these I recommend all of them again but I just don't think I love them quite enough

I'm also not including this one

I would say I've read books since I've made that video that would probably boot this essay collection off of there I do really love it I did definitely really loved it at the time when I first read it but I don't know if it can stand up to some of the other nonfiction now

not quite as good as the power of habit so definitely not going to be considered for the final list

which was such a fantastic book ... I actually just made my husband read this one and he really enjoyed it obviously I did too ... I don't really feel that pull to reread it

same for Tuesday nights in 1980 by Molly Prentiss such an interesting book with the synesthesia elements

which I loved it was fascinating but it has not really stood the test of time why did I rank that one number two

yes an all-time favorite yes I already know that's gonna make the final list

another one of those books that i couldn't get out of my head I adored it I don't think I loved that as much as Jane Eyre
