My sharing of good books on this blog have evolved from traditional book reviews to book ratings. In recent months I’ve shared a list of 8-12 books I read the prior month that were published in the current year followed by some additional detail about the top 2 books.
This month, 4 books share the top spot with ratings of 4.5. Rather than extending my commentary to this larger number, I’m simply providing a list.
