Hi friends, I met my challenge this past year. I’m sorry I haven’t posted reviews lately but the holiday season kinda kicked my butt!
(Currently re-reading Little Women in anticipation of the movie!)
Here are my favorite books of 2019:
Disappearing Earth by Julia Phillips 
Say Nothing – Mesmerizing Account of the Troubles 
Ashes in the Fire – memoir by Darnell Moore 
The River: IMHO the perfect novel 
LOVED this – Blew my mind
Disappearing Earth has been on several best-of lists. Here’s what I thought about it: https://52-books.blog/2019/11/12/literary-thriller-try-it/
President Obama & I have similar taste! Say Nothing was on his best books list: https://52-books.blog/2019/06/10/say-nothing/
I wrote about Darnell Moore & No Ashes in the Fire twice! https://52-books.blog/2019/01/26/coming-of-age-black-free-in-america-a-memoir/ and https://52-books.blog/2019/02/03/reporting-back-i-love-the-love-that-darnell-moore-embodies/
Peter Heller was my new favorite author of the year. I think The River is my perfect novel: https://52-books.blog/2019/05/28/my-new-favorite-author/
Finally, My Year of Rest and Relaxation was so different and unexpected – I loved it: https://52-books.blog/2019/08/06/july-highlights/
