A whole year has gone by again and I sadly didn’t make it to my reading goal, mostly due to some times where I was depressed and played video games instead of reading.
I also started out the year doing monthly review posts but that stopped after the first few. I hope to try that again this year but we’ll see.
How I Did:
I plan to try for 100 again this year. I’ve done it before, years ago and I made it close. It all depends on my moods, how interesting the books are (I read faster if I’m enjoying it) and how long/complicated the books I receive are.
If you are new to my blog, you might now know but I read ALL nonfiction and mostly review books received from publishers, authors and publicists. I tried to do reading challenges last year but it’s too hard when you aren’t really picking your own books so I gave up on keeping track of that and I didn’t sign up for any this year. I will read what comes to me.
Best Books Read in 2019
I read 23 Five Star Books out of 73 total books. Perhaps I rate higher than most but I read a lot of GREAT books. Here are my favourite 5 in order starting with the best.
- The Intelligence Paradox (Cultural Anthropology about Intelligence) – MY REVIEW
- The Upward Spiral (About Depression and How to Get Out of It) – MY REVIEW
- The Clean Body: A Modern History (History of bathing, laundry and cleanliness) – MY REVIEW
- 30 Days to Understanding the Bible (Amazing guide to understanding the Bible) – MY REVIEW
- God Speaks Your Love Language (By the same author of The Love Languages) – MY REVIEW
I think I will try to watch my ratings in 2020 and rate less of them 5 stars so it’s more obvious which ones are the best.
