MY FAVORITE BOOKS OF 2019

LesleeFebruary 24, 2020

I have recently started to read more. I have always enjoyed the activity of reading but found that I would go in waves with how frequently I picked up a book. Over the summer, I started listening to the Bad on Paper podcast and was inspired to start reading a few of the books they recommended and following along with Instagram book clubs, such as Reese Wetherspoon’s Hello Sunshine.

Now, I preface this post by mentioning that this list is a mixture of books I physically read and listened to as audiobooks. With a five plus hour commute daily, I listen to audiobooks to maximize my time and make my commute more bearable with a literary adventure to look forward to. And, according to a study published in the Journal of Neuroscience, listening to an audiobook is just as stimulating as physically reading a book.

I documented my reading adventure on my Goodreads account, and you are welcome to follow along for a complete list of my books and my ratings. For the most part, it was a great year of reading. This year my goal is 65 books and I am hoping to go beyond my usual young adult books and light reading books to include non-fiction and biographies.
