The Book Connection's Top 10 Books of 2011


I think this was the hardest year for choosing my Top 10 Books. In going through my spreadsheet, I kept checking off books I knew should be on it, but then there over double what I was supposed to have. I had to go back through the list again, check out what I had to say about these books, think on it some more, and then compose a new list--a few times. I've decided to include honorable mentions because there are several books that could have made the list.
  1. Falling Home by Karen White
  2. A Christmas Journey Home by Kathi Macias
  3. The Secret Life of Emily Dickinson by Jerome Charyn
  4. Born Under a Lucky Moon by Dana Precious
  5. People of the Book by Kathi Macias
  6. Friendship Bread by Darien Gee
  7. Joe DiMaggio: The Long Vigil by Jerome Charyn
  8. A Higher Court by John Betcher
  9. Elizabeth I by Margaret George
  10. In the St. Nick of Time by K.M. Daughters
Honorable Mentions:
