This weekly frenzy of listing is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
It takes a lot for me to rate a book five stars, so I don't have very many of those recently. Here are some of the books I've read this year and enjoyed immensely (even if they didn't quite get a five star rating).

The Book of Three by Lloyd Alexander
The Black Cauldron by Lloyd Alexander
The Castle of Llyr by Lloyd Alexander (You may see a theme with these first three. The Chronicles of Prydain is one of my favorite series from when I was a kid. I decided to reread them this year, and I am loving them just as much now as I did when I was eleven.)
When My Name Was Keoko by Linda Sue Park (My review of this is going up on Thursday, but you can already tell that I liked it because it's on this list!)
The Tale of Hill Top Farm by Susan Wittig Albert (This series with Beatrix Potter as the main character and talking animals is simply delightful.)

Cress by Marissa Meyer (If you haven't already discovered how amazing this series is for yourself, you should. Soon.)
The Island of Dr. Libris by Chris Grabenstein (An island where the things you read about come to life? Sign me up!)
The Penderwicks on Gardam Street by Jeanne Birdsall (These characters are so much fun.)
So Many Books, So Little Time by Sara Nelson (Books about books are always amazing, aren't they?)
All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr (Breathtaking writing. Simply spectacular.)
