Hey, guys!
It's that time of the year! I know that a lot of you enjoy these massive conglomerate posts where I list every book, but if you're interested in my full thoughts and feelings surrounding each book, please check out the monthly wrap up listed below each month's list. I'm so happy with my reading choices. Surprisingly, this year was the worst for blogging (Hooray for being a senior in college!), but I was able to stress read so many books too. I've read the most I've ever read and I even broke my reading record of 138 from 2015.
This year, I was able to read 153 books, graphic novels, comics, short stories, and essay collections. I'm so jazzed to share all of these books with you!
**Full disclosure, I've also had a wonderful year of unhauling, donating, and gifting books. When it comes to keeping the books I didn't really enjoy -- I don't. If the book is going to take up space on my shelves and I don't plan on reading them again, I give it to one of my friends, trade it online for another book I'm interested in, I donate it to book drives/used bookstores/etc., or I just donate them to Goodwill if no one will take them.
I also did not read as many books as I acquired this year. That goal will be addressed in another future post that will discuss my bookish goals for 2020.
Here are the books I read in 2019!
