The 2019 year in review continues with talking about something I don’t talk about on the site: books! Every year I participate in the Goodreads Challenge, and last year I got to 27 books out of the 36 I had planned to read. Not bad for a year where my life got incredibly busy. I am going to aim to do 36 in 2020. Anyways, 2019 brought some incredible books into my life, including The Starless Sea, one of the best books I’ve ever read. If you haven’t read it yet, go immediately to a bookstore or library and pick it up. What were some of the books you loved last year?
