It’s time for my yearly post of what were my favorite books of the year! (And how do you like that AI image I created. Read any of those? LOL!)

Here – in no particular order – are the books that I just did not want to end this year (interestingly, all can be considered Historical Fiction):

Finding Flora by Elinor Florence

Let’s Call Her Barbie by Renée Rosen

The Harvey Girls by Juliette Fay

The Guest in Room 120 by Sarah Ackerman

The Last Assignment by Erika Robuck

and my favorite read of the year…..

Skylark by Paula McLain

I read many good books, but these ones were super memorable to me. I hope you enjoy them if you choose to check them out! (all were gotten through Net Galley)

Happy Reading in 2026!
