This year I read 125 books, but gave 5 stars on Goodreads to only 4 books:
The Best of Frank O'Connor (one of my best finds ever, thanks to Fantasyfan at the MR Literary Book Club.)
Thus Was Adonis Murdered - Sarah Caudwell (brilliant, hilarious mystery)
The Inimitable Jeeves - P.G. Wodehouse (I'm surprised I gave that 5 stars, but I won't alter it now)
Team of Rivals: The Political Genius of Abraham Lincoln - Doris Kearns Goodwin
Last year I gave 5 stars to:
Cannery Row - John Steinbeck
Lolita - Vladimir Nabokov
Flowers for Algernon - Daniel Keyes
Farewell, My Lovely - Raymond Chandler
