Favorite Books of 2019

It’s been a challenging year, to say the very least. I spent the first few months of the year in bed, suffering from a horrific case of pneumonia.  One would think that would lend to a lot of reading time when, in fact, it did not.

One of my goals of 2020 is learn to manage my time better.  This has come to be a struggle, especially with working two jobs.  Rather, I want to spend more time doing what I enjoy: spending time with my family and truly immersing myself in books.

While this is probably the shortest year in review posts I have done (except for last year; I didn’t do one at all!) I feel it is a rather eclectic list!   I don’t claim that these are the best books of 2019, they are simply my personal favorite.  I’ve linked them to my review (when applicable).

Without further ado (present in no specific order!):

We Met in December by Rosie Curtis
