2019 blogging starts with 2018 reading stats!

HA HA HA. The last time I updated my blog was February 2018... so my goal going forward is to check in at least once a month. And read more classics, because my books by decade section is sad-looking. 

Top 10 books I'd recommend

1) A Little Life, by Hanya Yanagihara
2) Nimona, by Noelle Stevenson
3) Brazen: Rebel Ladies Who Rocked the World, by Pénélope Bagieu
4) Circe, by Madeline Miller
5) Everything I Never Told You, by Celeste Ng
6) Spoonbenders, by Daryl Gregory
7) The Leavers, by Lisa Ko
8)The Hate U Give, by Angie Thomas
9) The Radium Girls, by Kate Moore
10) High Tide in Tucson, by Barbara Kingsolver
