I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas! Whatever holiday you celebrate I hope you were able to spend time surrounded by those you love. I’ve had off work this entire week and my time away from the office has been a perfect blend of relaxation and visiting with friends and family.
Yesterday, I completed my first ever New Years Resolution and finished my 51st book of the year! I accidentally mis-counted and read an extra book over my goal of 50 books and ending on an odd number drives me kind of crazy but nonetheless, the goal has been met.
If you’re looking for a good book, consider one of the books I read in 2019. Each of my books have been given a ranking out of 5 stars and are listed in order of preference with one being my favorite book of 2019.
