We’re barreling toward the end of the year, and I’m eyeing my stack of unread books with a sense of foreboding. There are so many spectacular titles in my to-be-read pile that I have choice paralysis. (And when this happens, I usually end up reading another Regency romance. I have no shame.)

So instead of bemoaning my choices and all that, I’m going to tell you what I’ve LOVED reading this year.
