This year I read fewer books than in 2018, but since I invested in some truly long and/or challenging works, I guess it mostly evens out.

The longest book I read this year wasHarry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix,at which point my workflow exploded and my series re-read derailed. I plan to circle back in 2020 and finish up, though.

Please enjoy some highlights from my year in books. I’ve arranged the categories in descending order...
