When I pulled my top reads Jan-Jun I ended up with twelve favorites rather than ten so here are my top twelve of the year so far:
12. Daughter of the Salt King**
11. Girl in Ice*
10. The Counterclockwise Heart*
9. I, Antigone*
8. All the Horses of Iceland**
7. The Love Songs of W.E.B. Du Bois
6. Angel of Greenwood
5. Metropolis*
4. All My Rage*
3. The Symmetry of Stars
2. The Lincoln Highway
1. Appleseed
As of June 30th, I have read 143 books so these 12 are the top 15% – all ⭐️
⭐⭐️⭐️⭐ reads. I argued with myself for days over the actual numbering so take that with a grain of salt. These are the books I would recommend to anyone and everyone as fabulous pieces of writing. (*Books I was gifted in one form by the publisher ** Books I was gifted went on to purchase after receiving epub or audiobook)
