I read 77 books this past year, a nice increase from the 52 books that I read in 2018. I found a new author this year that I love, P. K. Adams, and all three of her books are included in my top ten list. Graphic novels were strong in 2019. There were about seven of them that almost made the list but those historical fiction books just grabbed my attention more.
10: Saving Meghan, a medical mystery by Daniel Palmer
9. Silent Water, a historical fiction novel by P. K. Adams
8. Brewed Awakening, a cozy mystery by Cleo Coyle
7. Genesis, a medical thriller by Robin Cook
6. They Called Us Enemy, a graphic memoir by George Takei
5. The Weight of Ink, a historical fiction novel by Rachel Kaddish
4. The Blue, a historical fiction novel by Nancy Bilyeau
3. The Column of Burning Spices, a historical fiction novel by P. K. Adams
2. The Greenest Branch, a historical fiction novel by P. K. Adams
1. I Was Their American Dream, a graphic memoir by Malaka Gharib. This book made me think hard about what it means to be an American. Gharib is a first generation Filipino Egyptian whose ethnic childhood practices were quickly dropped when she became college aged. She then pursued everything "white."
