Laura's 5 Star Reads

I read over 100 books a year. Each year, I have about five that I give 5 (of 5) stars. Sometimes more, sometimes less. These ratings can be because it was objectively good, or it was a great example of the kind of book it is, or occasionally it just resonated with me, even if I don't think it will do so for most people.
