I have 4 more on my TBR and I doubt I add any of the other 8. Though I may one day read, the Steve Jobs book. I do think he is fascinating and Walter Isaacson is a wonderful biographer!

I have 7 more on my TBR, and not interested in the remaining 5.


...."
Ha! I've also read 27. Too funny. It will soon be 28 as I am midway through Woman in the Window.
There was no category where I read all the books, but I'm only missing 1 from the classic category. Is the Alchemist actually any good?
Another 6 or so are of interest to me, but only one is on my imminent TBR.



I've read all of the historical fiction and all but one of the contemporary fiction.

Alchemist depends on your interests... It was ok while I was reading but as time has gone on I've realized it made more of an impact than I originally thought. I read it as part of a book led group coaching so we dug into a bit more than I normally would have if I read it on my own.

4/8 Historical Fiction
7/8 Contemporary Fiction- My reading wheelhouse
6/8 Mysteries and Thrillers- My guilty pleasure genre
2/8 Classics- Eek, I need to brush up on my classics.
2/8 Nonfiction- I swear I read a lot more nonfiction than this represents!

From the list, I read 11, but none this year. It's interesting how many of the books on the list weren't 2019 publications, even outside of the classics. Goes to show the power of the backlist!

Contemporary: 1/8 (+ one in a couple of months for book club, + 1 more on the tbr)
Mystery/Thriller: 5/8 (+ hopefully one this month)
Classics 7/8 (and possibly the last one in high school - I can't recall) - crazy, this is not my favourite!
Nonfiction 1/8 (+ 2 are not officially on the tbr, but they are on the radar, so I suspect I will read them eventually)
That's 17 in total.

While I've read 18 of them, I've only read 3 last year. I have 3 on my tbr.
I wouldn't say that contemporary fiction is a weak point since I read so many newly released books, but I do pick and choose what I read and I have read none of the contemporary fiction, but have 2 on the TBR
