Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and The Bookish June of 2010 and was moved to That Artsy Reader Girl in January of 2018. It was born of a love of lists, a love of books, and a desire to bring bookish friends together.
My Top Ten Twenty-Six Tuesday this week is inspired by Reese’s Book Club.
“Every month, Reese [Witherspoon] picks one book she loves with a woman at the center of the story and shares it with her book club.”
For a complete list, click here. It’s from book one, June of 2017, through January of 2020’s pick.

These are the ones that I thought worked for me.
Many of the books on the list, as they are women-centered books, lean a little heavily toward romance for me and I just couldn’t add that many romance novels to my list when I don’t generally like them. This does not mean they weren’t amazing or that the authors are any less valuable to the world, just that they don’t tickle MY fancy.
These books all have great reviews, so if you were having trouble finding a book to start off your year, look no further! If you can’t find at least 5 that you like then:
“If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.”
