This has been another
good year for reading. As usual, more books were read or listened to on tape
than I reviewed, but the ones below made the cut. I decided a while ago that I
was not going to disparage another author’s work. If I don’t like it, I won’t
review it. How to choose? I really enjoyed everything on the list. This may be
my hardest choice yet. I was fascinated with Pachinko and its culture,
I loved hearing about Michelle Obama’s life in Becoming. Where
the Crawdads Sing is one of the few novels that really surprised me. I
could say something similar about what I liked about each one. I loved them all
for different reasons.
January 2019: Pachinko- Min Jin Lee
February 2019: Becoming- Michelle Obama
March 2019: Where the Crawdads Sing- Delia
Owens
April 2019: The Art Forger- B. A. Shapiro
May 2019: Spinning Silver- Naomi Novik
June 2019: The Heart’s Invisible Furies- John Boyne
July 2019: The Trespasser- Tana French
August 2019: Tigana- Guy Gavriel Kay
September 2019: Southernmost- Silas House
October 2019: The
Lake House- Kate Morton
November 2019: Lethal White- Robert Galbraith
December 2019: Stormrise- Jillian Boehme
If I could only pick
one to recommend to a friend, it would have to be Becoming by our ex-First
Lady. Articulate, Humble, Intelligently and Honestly written, it’s a must read
for anyone and everyone.
