Everything I Read in 2019
March 8, 2020 / Books
As the daughter of a librarian, I am a proud reader of fiction, memoir, poetry, non-fiction, YA and children’s books. Last year, I read 74 books in total, and in 2019 came in at 58 books total. I love seeing what other people have been reading, so I wanted to share my favorites of the year with you.
I chose to break this list into two categories (fiction and non-fiction), and rank them in order of my favorites, to my least favorites. Hard task, I know! To keep it shorter, I am not listing a description of each book, but Goodreads is a great resource to learn more about each book listed in this post.
Keep reading for a list of 52 of the books I read in 2019, ranked!
