Thanks, Danielle. I tend to read a lot more nonfiction books than fiction books every year so I try to be most selective with the novels. I always listen to recommendations before I choose one so I won’t be wasting my time. 🙂

I enjoyed seeing all the covers and reading the brief synopses. Thank you!

I just read your list and added some titles to my TBR as well. 🙂 I love running into people with similar tastes in books. Your baby is so adorable. Sweet season!

Moment of Lift is on queue, borrowed and reads to listen soon through Overdrive once I finish The Dutch House. I loved Becoming, Before We Were Yours, and Crawdads. I haven’t read The Alice
network yet but enjoyed Quinn’s The Huntress.

my 2019 favorites are linked in my name if interested!

Oh, WordPress, what are you doing to me? Ha. This is the third time it has sent out an old post in the past two weeks. And I have no clue why! 🙂 Sorry about that.

I’m glad you’re loving Atomic Habits too, Mary. I read a library copy but this is a book I need to buy so I can reread it again later. I’m sure I missed a lot the first time through. I’ve heard good things about Lysa Terkeurst’s book too but I haven’t read it yet. Thanks for recommending Placemaker. I’ll go look it up now!

I always love your books posts. I am reading Atomic Habits now. It is a GREAT book. I love his ideas. I am also reading It’s Not Supposed to Be This Way by Lysa TerKeurst and it is also very good.

One of my favorite books of 2019 was Placemaker by Christie Purifoy. If you haven’t read it, I highly recommend it.

My library had both those books (Crawdad and Before We Were Yours) so the price was right for me: free. 🙂 Happy reading in 2020, Lindsay!

Yes, I would recommend Ware as one of your lighter reads. I listened to some of her books on audio and the reader was excellent.

Isn’t it fun when two books that you read close in time are a great match? That doesn’t always happen but when it does, enjoy. 🙂

Though One I was told was really good. The Crawdad Sings (My grandma read it and my cousin to read it. Now I want to read it. The other book that on your top 10 Fiction is Before we were yours is really interesting and would love to pick that book up as well i could find it for decent price..

I almost bought this one at a train station but I was already weighted down. I’m planning to read more lighter stuff on the iPad this year so maybe Ruth Ware might be a candidate (via a Kindle app).

Last year I read Range by David Epstein just after reading a more academic book on a similar subject (Expertise in Transition by Yrjö Engeström) and the two together had a powerful effect.
