I haven't had a lot of really great books this year, "A Keeper" has been my only 5 Star read so far:
A Keeper by Graham Norton
The Mother-in-Law by Sally Hepworth
The Royal Art of Poison: Filthy Palaces, Fatal Cosmetics, Deadly Medicine, and Murder Most Foul by Eleanor Herman (non fiction)
The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai
A Dangerous Collaboration (Veronica Speedwell #4) by Deanna Raybourn
(ETA: Where The Crawdads Sing was also 5 stars for me, but I read that last year)

I enjoyed the All Souls Trilogy. Discovery of Witches (the first in the trilogy) was made into a t.v. series this spring.

I just read The Huntress by Kate Quinn and I really liked it. I feel like I've read a lot of clunkers lately, but I thought that was a good one!
