My 2019 Life In Books
I’d planned today to disclose my favourite and least favourite books of the year. But it’s been a tiring day and the brain isn’t up to it. So you’ll have to suspend your excitement for just one more day.
In the meantime here’s a fun meme I found on Lizzy’sLiteraryLife today. The origin of this seems clouded in mystery. Lizzy spotted it on Annabel’s website who in turn saw it on Laura’s site.
The idea is to answer some questions using only the titles of books read this year (ie 2019), trying not to use any book more than once. (Links in the titles will take you to my reviews)
In high school I was: Becoming by Michelle Obama
People might be surprised by: My Brilliant Career by Miles Franklin
I will never be: The Bowery Slugger by Leopold Borstinski
My fantasy job is (to be a) Ghostbird by Carole Lovekin
At the end of a long day I need: Three Hours (sleep)
I hate: Trick(s) by Domenico Starnone
Wish I had: (A) Milkman by Anna Burns
My family reunions are: A Fine Balance by Rohinton Mistry
At a party you’d find me with: A Rising Man by Abir Mukherjee
I’ve never been to: The Salt Path by Raynor Winn
A happy day includes: Big Sky by Kate Atkinson
Motto I live by: Dignity by Alys Conran
On my bucket list is : Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote and The Hotel Tito by Ivana Bodrozic
In my next life, I want to have: A Whole Life by Robert Seethaler
This was entertaining. Join in the fun and share the books you’d choose to mark 2019

So much fun! Here are mine, 3 lists actually https://wordsandpeace.com/2020/01/03/year-of-reading-2019-part-3/
Oh I *love* this! Definitely going to pinch it for my blog, such fun! Thank you! ❤️
It was a good way to spend a few hours while slumped on the sofa.
That was fun! Happy New Year!
That was fun. I only read 30 books so I don’t know if I could come up with that many, but I might try later today…eagerly awaiting your favorite and least favorite books of 2019.
So much fun!
Fun. These memes are fun.
Hahahah. What fun! I like the (sleep) comment and the family reunion observation! (Also loved that novel.) Good reading to you in 2020!
Delighted to be on this list. Thank you for including Ghostbird! Every best wish (& numberless books) for 2020.
You’ve reminded me that I meant to post one of these by the end of the year but I suspect it will be tomorrow now. Some wonderful answers here. It’s almost as if you’ve been reading with this meme in mind, Karen!
Very clever and inventive meme. I look forward to your best of post.
