My Five Star Books for 2019

I have been reading many book lists from various publications for the end of the year or even the end of the decade.   I decided to look up my five star books as listed on Goodreads to put into my Blog2Print book this year.   A favorite genre is probably memoirs.  And mysteries.  Several books were rereads--Having Our Say and Gilead and My God and I.   Others were by authors I know or have had some personal connection--Swartz, Walterstorff, Plantinga, and Vanderkam, of course!   There are some authors who come up every year--Connelly, Berry, Modiano.  There are 26 books listed--one for every two weeks.   Lots of good reading from local libraries and often from Better World Books.  (Don't know why the formatting looks so bad--when I try to edit it, it looks fine.)
