My Top Three Reads So Far This Year

February 20, 2026 By Robin Lee Hatcher 13 Comments

So many books, so little time. Okay, that is a cliché. But a cliché becomes one because it is true. So I’m sticking with it. My reading year is off to a great start. I've completed 15 books so far in January and February, and I wanted to share my favorite ones (two novels and one non-fiction). I’ve shared my rating system before, but here is what I mean when I rate a book either four or five … [Read more...]

My 5🌟 Reads This Year

December 5, 2025 By Robin Lee Hatcher

Last December, I shared my five-star reads of 2024, and I enjoyed doing that so much (along with getting your recommendations), I decided to do it again. In my personal rating system, 5🌟 mean: “Out of this world. Amazing. Unforgettable. A personal favorite.” I don’t give out many of them. Which means there are a lot of books I have loved (4 stars) that I won’t be sharing with you. If you are … [Read more...]
