The Best Books of 2019 (so far!)
Halfway through 2019!
Can you believe we are already in the second half of 2019? So far this has been a year of setting some big goals for myself and working on a lot of personal growth. It has also been a great year of reading and there are still so many highly anticipated books to come!
What Makes a Book Memorable to You?
I read for all different kinds of reasons, sometimes to escape, sometimes to connect and some are just for pure pleasure. As someone who reads quite a few books each month, there are lots of books I love but there is a smaller list of ones that really stick with me for the long haul.
When I have finished a book and am still thinking about it long after I have moved on to my next read, I know that is a sign of an amazing book. All of the books on this made me feel something and stuck with me long after finishing them.
Non-Fiction vs. Fiction
When I put together these lists I look back at my reviews and also my ratings on Goodreads. I often find that my favorites are usually a pretty good balance of both fiction and non-fiction…as you can see with my 2018 Memorable Book List:
Kindle, Audio or Hard Copy?
When it comes to reading formats, I like a little of everything. I love reading ebooks, hard copy books and listening to audiobooks and I really think there are a time and a place for all of them! I love to listen to non-fiction on audio, I get hard copy books from the library and from Book of the Month and I tend to read most everything else on my Kindle. And if I love any of them, I will buy a hard copy after I finish them to keep in my own personal library and also loan to friends.
So without further adieu, here is my list and the links to my personal reviews…
