Ms. Hen's Top Ten

Ms. Hen’s Top Ten Books (She Read) in 2015

Ms. Hen has decided to jump on the bandwagon of end-of-year top ten lists. She wrote lots of reviews last year, and spent some time thinking about what the top ten books she read were. Hardly any of the books on the list were published in 2015, but books have a long shelf life, so if it’s a high quality books it stays that way. They are in no particular order, because sometimes the time to read a book is perfect and another is perfect at a different time.

1.     A TALE FOR THE TIME BEING by Ruth Ozeki http://mshenreviewsthings.blogspot.com/2015/04/ms-hen-reviews-tale-for-time-being-and.html

Ms. Hen would like to wish everyone a happy new year. She doesn’t believe in making New Year’s resolutions, but if she did, she would resolve to read more books, do more Zumba, and eat more dark chocolate.
