Every year, I face the difficult task of choosing only ten books from the many I’ve read to go on this list. I think this year was the hardest so far, as I read so many great books. But, here we go. I’ve included purchase links in case one grabs your attention.

Hi,
it’s me again. I meant books and not gooks. 🙂

Hi,
Your top ten has many intriguing thrillers and paranormal gooks. They seem like excellent reads. The one that caught my fancy was the last one. I love reading a good romance or romantic suspense or romantic women’s fiction in my spare time. I will check that one out.
All the best.
Shalom aleichem,
Pat
Lol, Pat. Yes. I understood books, not gooks. 🙂 Our fingers… I am thrilled that my sister’s book called to you. It’s such a great story and she is a wonderful romance writer. I know you will enjoy Ridge and Addie’s story! Thank you for stopping by and for your awesome support!
This is a great list, Jan! I really enjoyed Eventide (5 stars), currently reading This Last Chance, and have Eternal Road on the Kindle. Congratulations to your sister for the great review! Thank you for sharing these recommendations with us. 🙂 Happy New Year!
It’s my pleasure, Mark. It’s such a difficult choice every year, but this year may have been the hardest. I read so many good books! Thanks for stopping by and I know you will enjoy any of these books! Happy New Year to you and your family!
I can see it being a tough choice . . . so much talent and great novels out there. I trust your judgement, so no doubt about the fact that I would enjoy these. 🙂
A very nice list, Jan. I’ve read several of these and agree with you completely. Happy 2021!
Thank you, Joan! I’m happy you stopped by! Happy New Year!
Thank you for not only including me but for being an amazing critique partner! You’re amazing. I’m currently reading Ghostly Interference.
“The Green Door” deserves to be on this list, Heather. It’s a really good story and I look forward to diving into more of the adventures with “The Red Door.” Yay!! I’m thrilled that you’re reading “Ghostly Interference!” Thank you for stopping by and Happy New Year!
This is a great list, Jan. I see many that are on my reading list. Thanks for including Perfectly Imperfect- I’m honored!
Happy New Years!
“Perfectly Imperfect” was such a fun little story. I had to include it on this year’s list. Thank you for writing lt. 🙂 Happy New Year!
Thank you, Jan for including This Last Chance on your list. It’s a true honor to be in such good company and with books I loved too.
I have a couple of books to read from your top ten that I need to move up my TBR list. I can’t wait! Xo
It was my pleasure to include “This Last Chance” on this year’s list, Denise. It was such a good story and a wonderful way to wrap up that series. I’m glad you see some other books you need to hurry up your list. 🙂 It’s a list that has no beginning and no ending on my Kindle. Thank you for stopping by and I wish you a Happy New Year!
Jan, thank you for posting this list and for including me in your favorite short stories. I am honored!! Having recommendations from such a talented writer is really a holiday treat!!
Hi, Maura Beth! I loved “Stardust.” I still think about Maeve and the magic that happened for her. Plus, the cover is stunning! Thank you for stopping by and I wish you a very Happy New Year!
Jan, I am so honored to be included with these marvelous authors and their wonderful books. This is just such a great way to have me start my New Year off with a very big smile.I have read most of these and have the others waiting patiently on my TBR list. Thanks again, and the happiest of New Years, Jan. ❤
Hi, Soooz! I loved this story and have said it before that it needs to be a movie! These characters, the story plot, and the resolution have stayed with me long after I read it. So, it sits in a well-deserved spot! I’m glad I could bring a smile to your face. Happy New Year!
Thanks again, Jan. It would be such fun to see who’d they cast in the main roles. ( I keep visualizing Chris Hemsworth as Zach) and on that Happy Thought I wish you and yours a Happy New Year. ❤
Huge congrats to all the winners! I’m grateful for the recognition but gladly bow to these talented authors. Thank you so much for liking Ridge and Addie’s book, sister. I feel blessed. Love you so much!
I’m so glad you stopped by, sister. Ridge and Addie’s story is very special and one that readers won’t soon forget. The things they both had to overcome to find their happiness were almost insurmountable, but they did it! I hope you have a very Happy New Year and I love you!
Great list!
Thanks, Jennifer! I’m glad you stopped by!
So excited to find my work listed among these amazing authors. Thanks for including me, and Happy New Year.
A well-deserved spot, Craig. It was so hard to choose between Mrs. Molony and HMS Lanternfish, but in the end, the Lanternfish crew won out. Both are great reads and I highly recommend them! Happy New Year to you as well!
Thank you so much for the Eternal Road selection, Jan. I am honored to be among these wonderful books. I am so pleased you enjoyed my story. Happy 2021. 😁
It was such a “what-if” kind of story, John. And you did a great job writing it. Congrats and Happy New Year! I look forward to the sequel. 🙂
That’s a great list. I’ve read several of those books listed and loved all of them. There are a few books on there that I have on my kindle but haven’t gotten around to reading yet, so I’ll need to move them up on my TBR list. 🙂
Oh, how wonderful, Yvette! Thank you for stopping by. It’s so hard to pick just ten books. I struggle with it every year. Here’s wishing you a Happy New Year!
I love seeing some of my favorite bloggers on your list, Jan. Congratulations to all! Thanks for sharing!
Wonderful, Jill! Thank you for stopping by!
What a wonderful selection! Thank you for posting this list, Jan. There are a few books I’ve yet to read and certainly will now. Congratulations to all the writers! Your accolades are well deserved! ✨✨💗✨✨
Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment, Gwen. It’s so hard to choose just ten books every year and I struggle with it. I know you’ll enjoy all the reading ahead of you! Happy New Year!
