Joanne (joabroda1) | 1558 comments I had some 5 star reads

Lincoln on the Verge: Thirteen Days to Washington-highly recommended for a new take Abe

What Stands in a Storm: Three Days in the Worst Superstorm to Hit the South's Tornado Alley-heartbreaking and well researched

Simone (simonec75) There were 2 which really stood out for me this time around:

I read Jane Eyre for the very first time since I had The Wife Upstairs, a retelling of the classic, on my TBR for another challenge. Jane Eyre has become my all-time favorite classic!! I loved the book soooo much!

The other book is a book that absolutely surprised me: The Star-Crossed Sisters of Tuscany. This kind of book is usually not one of my go-to genres/types of stories, but this one drew me in and made me want to hop on a plane. I loved everything about this book!

Julia (julia103) | 2719 comments Len, A Lawyer in History: A Graphic Biography of Radical Attorney Leonard Weinglass
I'm not a big fan of graphic novels (or non-fiction), but this was outstanding for me.

To Be Taught, If Fortunate by Becky Chambers
I had read her other books in Fall 2020, but was even more impressed with this one.
