End of the year round-up lists are pretty great. (Actually, I'm a fan of most lists in general.) And making my recommended reading list is one I really enjoy. (See 2018’s list here.)
Goodreads did a personalized dashboard of the year, which was a great jumping off point. Taking a big picture look at my reading year is always insightful. This year I read much more non-fiction, despite being a part of a fiction bookclub. Most of what I read was older, though a couple did come out in 2019. (I have such a huge stack on my nightstand to get through, I rarely read new releases.) And I still haven’t finished The Crack-Up by F. Scott Fitzgerald - it’s the book that puts me to sleep, and I’ll be sad when I finally run out of 3 page intervals. You can see my in-depth reviews of these and more on Goodreads.
If you are looking for other inspiring reads, I highly recommend President Obama’s list. I’ve added some of his to my 2020 to-read list. Though I might be a few books fewer next year, as much of my reading of late has been Harvard case studies…
What is your most recommended book from 2019?
