2019: YEAR AT A GLANCE AND MY TOP 10

2019: YEAR AT A GLANCE

As 2019 comes to a close, I am looking back at all of my reads this year and I am pleased with the results.  I didn't post many of my books read this year for a variety of reasons so I've included links to Goodreads in the below list.  I am very happy with the quality of books that I read this year and actually the quantity.  I did not expect a big reading year so I gave myself a 15 book challenge and I ended up doubling that.  For some 31 books doesn't seem like a lot but i used to only read 1 book a month, so this is pretty big for me.  I really found my reading groove this year and I hope this continues.  I also found a couple of new authors that I can't wait to read more next year.

Goodreads does a really nice Year in Review, so before I get into my Top 10, I'd like to share my results.
