The best lists are everywhere this year. Not only are there best books of the year, but best books of the decade. I don’t do “bests,” just favorites from what I’ve read the past 12 months. I could Say Nothing, I suppose, but unlike Normal People, I’ve spent Furious Hours reading, writing and talking books. Happily, of course. For book lovers, it’s like The Most Fun We Ever Had. This is my Ninth House since I graduated from high school, and every time I move, I collect more books. It would cost me a fortune to move from Orlando, aka Orange World, so it’s a good thing I consider this Heaven, My Home.
On a Clear Day I Can Read Forever 
So darn clever you are!
BYW, I have Orange World on my desk from the library. Perhaps it should be my next read.
My reading goals will not be met this year so my list of faves ought to be super short. I have two of the books you mentioned here, Normal People and The Most Fun We Ever Had, both, patiently waiting for me to have the time to read them!
I just finished The Family Upstairs. Good book. Review is written and scheduled for this week.
