I’ve read some great books this year, both fiction and non fiction, including a few genres that I don’t usually read. The main one that I tried was crime, which meant I read a few crime books that I did enjoy, but still crime isn’t a favourite genre of mine. Having said that, I quite enjoy listening to crime audio books.
Following is a list of the eight books that I enjoyed the most in 2019, in no particular order. If I had to choose one of these books as a favourite, it would be The Chocolate Maker’s Wife. This book contains all that I love about my favourite genre of historical fiction based on fact.
My Name is Why by Lemn Sissay
Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood
The Testaments by Margaret Atwood
The Chocolate Maker’s Wife by Karen Brooks
The Binding by Bridget Collins
11.22.63 by Stephen King
The Lost Girls of Paris by Pam Jenoff
Bridge of Clay by Marcus Zusak
This will be my last post for 2019. Merry Christmas and a happy and safe new year to all. Watch for the first review of 2020 early in January

I read the Testaments. I wasn’t a fan. What did you think?

I’m really interested to hear that you’re not a fan of the Testaments. I loved it. I think I enjoyed getting to know the ladies in a different way from the Handmaids Tale. Thanks for popping in.

I think it’s because it’s a disturbing tale and makes me a little uncomfortable. Does that make sense. She’s an amazing writer and I couldn’t put it down. Just made me uncomfortable.

I agree. The authors talent is to make you feel uncomfortable. It was definitely a bit ‘squirmy’

Squirmy is a very good word for that book!
