Hooray! It’s my annual recap of the books I read last year! This is one of my absolute favorite recurring posts. I read 28 books in 2019.

I did change one superlative this year: “Scariest Moment” got swapped out for “Warmest Fuzziest Moment.” Because we could all use a little less scary and a little more warm and fuzzy in our… Read More
