Hall of Fame – The Relentless Reader

First Half of 2013 Hall of Fame!

You wanna know what makes my head hurt? Picking favorite books!

Something like this

But I’ve done it, once again.

April (<~~See my April reads there)

Favorite Fiction: City of Thieves by David Benioff

Favorite Nonfiction: However Long the Night by Aimee Molloy

It was especially hard to pick favorites for the month of April. I read 26 books that month and narrowing it down was painful. Honorable mentions to Life After Life by Kate Atkinson, The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey, and The Interestings by Meg Woltizer.

May (<~~See my May reads there)

Favorite Fiction: A Constellation of Vital Phenomena by Anthony Marra
Favorite Nonfiction: Frozen in Time by Mitchell Zuckoff

June (<~~ You know the drill)

Favorite Fiction: Ordinary Grace by William Kent Krueger
Favorite Nonfiction: The Boys in the Boat by Daniel James Brown (Review coming soon)

You can see my 1st quarter Hall of Fame picks here!

How was the year in books been for you so far? Which books have been stand-outs? Tell me!

Hall of Fame!

Do you know how HARD it is to pick a FAVORITE book for each month? IT’S CRAZY HARD. It hurt my brain but I did it.

I didn’t allow myself to pick re-reads. (Otherwise my picks would be obvious and I wanted to make this as difficult as possible!)

Favorite Fiction: Where’d You Go, Bernadette by Maria Semple

Favorite Nonfiction: Behind the Beautiful Forevers by Kathrine Boo

February

Favorite Fiction: White Dog Fell From the Sky by Eleanor Morse

Favorite Nonfiction: Hell Bent by Benjamin Lorr

March

Favorite Fiction: We Need New Names by NoViolet Bulawayo

Favorite Nonfiction: The World’s Strongest Librarian by Josh Hanagarne

I haven’t reviewed either of my favorites from March yet. YET!

Have you read any of my faves? What are your favorites for the year so far?
