2019 was a good reading year, I did not make it through many of my 10 books I wanted to read this year, but I indulged in a tonne of fantastic romances, paranormal-romance, urban-fantasy. I also got more into feminist non-fiction this year, which is a trend I want to continue into the new year.

Top 5 books of the year:
1. Becoming by Michelle Obama - I am in love with Michelle Obama, she is such an inspiring lady
2. Pachinko by Min Lee Jin - this book made me cry
3. Feral Sins by Suzanne Wright
4. Everything I Know about Love by Dolly Alderton - this book made me cry
5. The Wall of Winnipeg and Me by Mariana Zapata
