I admit, some of these books were re-reads which I used in order to push me out of reading slumps. However, overwhelmingly most of these were new titles and new authors for me. A large portion is mystery/thriller type books but there is a good sprinkling of fantasy, sci-fi and YA in there as well.
With my 2019 reading goal done I’m not looking at 2020 and I’ve set a new goal of 110 books for the year. With it being a leap year maybe that extra day will help me pull it off!
Good luck to everyone setting goals and kicking off the year with a book in their hands!
