[quote=Anonymous]So for me, a top book is one that embraces what it sets out to be. So, a romance can be five starts just as a literary fiction book can be, in my book. So, that being said, these are just a few of my five-star reads. (Yes, I use goodreads, so I rate my reads.)

[b]Night of the Raven, Dawn of the Dove - Rati Mehrotra[/b]
An epic fantasy with a fierce female lead who thinks she's a bodyguard when she's actually an heir to something big. Set in an alternative, ancient India.

[b]Firekeeper's Daughter - Angeline Boulley[/b]
A young women with ties to a Michigan reservation near the Canadian border works with government agents to figure out who is supplying a dangerous, new drug to her community. Entertaining as all get out and I learned a lot.

[b]Love Among the Living  - Simone St. James[/b]
All of Simone St. James' ghost stories are amazing, but this one was a favorite. A woman widowed during WW2 works for her husband's aunt as a companion and visiting his family home brings up some new info about him.

[b]The Diamond Eye - Kate Quinn[/b]
Kate Quinn's historical fiction books are epic and I couldn't read just one. The Diamond Eye is about a female sharp shooter in WW2 Ukraine. She winds up coming to the US on a diplomatic mission in the second half and befriending Eleanor Roosevelt.

[b]Lessons in Chemistry - Bonnie Garmus[/b]
It's just so different and fresh. For historical fiction to make me laugh, cry, and get mad? I loved it.

[u]Honorable Mentions[/u]
[b]A Sunlit Weapon - Jacqueline Winspear[/b]
The 17th book in the Maisie Dobbs series. I would never suggest someone jump in this late, but the series is so good that it's totally work starting at the beginning.

[b]The Undertaking of Hart & Mercy - Megan Bennan[/b]
It's a sweet and sad fantasy with charming characters. Not literature, but it gave me the warm and fuzzies.[/quote]
