Jana has prompted us book bloggers to list the 10 Ten Books we Bought/Borrowed because of ________. My ultimate demise (and greatest treasure) is Goodreads. It’s the reason my TBR is so high, and I love it. And I hate it. But I mainly love it.

Before you read any further, I hope you, your family, and any other loved ones, are safe and healthy during these times. I hope you have been impacted as little as possible due to COVID-19.

I didn’t reach my Goodreads Reading Challenge, nor did I have much time to enjoy YA fiction (too many uni papers to read through, the last thing I wanted to do after 8hrs of research was touch a book!). Consider this a short but sweet list of books I enjoyed in 2019, from least to…
