Here it is! My Top 13 Books of 2019!

2019 may have been my favorite year for books.

I originally was going to have this be a Top 10 list.  But I thought, why don’t I give you a book a month to try?  That way, you can think of me all year long.  And, being the nerd that I am, I decided to give a nod to the Thirteenth Tale and pick 13 books.  Who doesn’t like good literary allusion?  

So without further ado, here are my Top 13 books from 2019.  What I love about this list is it truly represents my various reading tastes.  There’s everything from historical fiction to Sci Fi to YA and a mystery thrown in for good measure.  The truth is…I love to read.  I have no boundaries when it comes to content so I’m able to fall in love with a diverse spectrum of books.  

1 – Becoming by Michelle Obama

2 – God of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia

3 – A Woman is No Man by Etaf Rum
