My Reading Review for 2019

As 2019 ends, and we head into 2020, I want to wish everyone a healthy, happy and meaningful year ahead. As I find reading incredibly meaningful, I always love to share my end-of-the-year list of books. According to Goodreads, I read 117 books this year, many of which I loved. I hope you will enjoy this list, filled with fun suggestions. You can see all of my reviews on Goodreads, as well.
