2019: the year of big things. The year of quitting our jobs, spending the summer in Europe, and sailing our boat to Mexico. The year that I read forty books.
It’s been a treat, having so much time to read. I set out with the goal of reading twenty-four books in 2019, and with the completion of The Wicked Redhead (fitting title to end my year, eh?) by Beatriz Williams, am glad to have surpassed my goal by sixteen!
Below is the list of books that I read this year in order of favorite to least favorite, with links to my reviews, and links to buy. Happy Holidays, and happy reading! May your 2020 be filled with good books.
