Every year, the list of books I’ve read is longer than the one before. This has been my goal, a trend I aim to continue.
As with 2018’s list, some books here I loved, others not so much. Some were for study, others for fun. Some were challenging, others adolescent, read for pure enjoyment, realization of nostalgia. No matter which, however, each satisfied in its own way. I believe every book holds the capacity to teach its reader something, whether it be vastly profound or otherwise.
Books are a uniquely portable magic.
