When I search for a book, it depends on my mood. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Do I need something light to brighten my spirits or a Historical Fiction story to learn something new? Sometimes a Mystery or Thriller is just what I need to get my mind going.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">That&#8217;s why I always keep an extensive reading list, and today I&#8217;m sharing my Top 10 favorite Books from this year with you!

The results were not surprising, with our readership loving all genres!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">However, the most popular was Historical Fiction, followed by Mystery\/Thriller. The remaining categories had an even distribution, such as literary fiction and non-fiction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Romance had the littlest interest, but we haven&#8217;t featured it, to be fair. With that said, I am looking for a good Romance story that will pique our reader&#8217;s interest.
