Welcome to Litsy!

I didn't love this book. I didn't hate it either though. I keep seeing it pop up in the #bestof2019 stuff. Am I the only one not in love with it? The ups and downs of their relationship was a bit exhausting for me.

Out of 6 audio books 2019 I liked these four the most. #4of2019 #bestof2019 #audiobook

2019 was not my best year with 17 books read. But there were only a few pearls among them, so that I could not choose more than these 6. I hope 2020 will have more exciting books for me. #6of2019 #comic #novels #bestof2019

My #bestof2019.

I had a weird reading year. I had bouts of reading malaise. I fell off the Litsy bandwagon and I don‘t why. I stopped puzzling (which means no audio-puzzling). I couldn‘t get into any audio by the end of the year. I basically spent about 70% of my year hopefully one-clicking romance. I did find some great new romance authors (a topic for a different post). And I missed my GR mini-stretch goal by 5 (100/105) and I‘m ok with that!

My favorite books read in 2019. #bestof2019 #favorites

To no one‘s surprise, my Best of 2019 is a whole lot of queer stuff and a poetry collection about my local river.

In some ways, it‘s a good reflection of what I read. 2019 was my (unplanned) Year of Awesome Romance, after all, and Canadian content and fantasy are also well-represented.

BUT, no comics made the cut and I don‘t feel great about how the list is 2/3 white. Clearly I need to seek out more queer work by BIPOC in 2020. #bestof2019

I thought about doing a #Top19of2019, but to be honest, these two were in a league of their own! They moved me, made me thoughtful and emotional, and they have become some of my all time favourites. So my #Bestof2019 are the two above books, and I hope for books like these in 2020 🤞

Here are my favorite reads for 2019. Since my reading was 50% fiction/50% nonfiction, I broke it down to my favorites for each genre. Sorry if the writing is hard to see--I'm at work so I don't have time to fiddle around with creating graphics. 🤷🏻‍♀️Ask me if you want to know more! :) #bestof2019
