Happy New Year! Hello 2020!
Best wishes for an awesome 2020! I have had a great third year as a book blogger! I have enjoyed so many awesome reads and had fun writing my reviews, interacting with reading buddies, and discovering new authors and books. I have found many hours of happiness lost in the pages this year. I am grateful to all my book friends for your friendship and kinship. Here’s to hoping for more awesome reads in 2020!
2019 Year in Review
In 2019, I read 328 books. That was 40 books more than 2018 so I was happy with that and I hit my goal of 300. Still, I didn't get anywhere near my 2016 number of 475. But hopefully I can continue hitting my goal next year!
My goodreads page is here, if you’re curious what all I read: www.goodreads.com/user/show/24889330-kimberly-love-notes-book-blog
The first book I read in 2019: Evidence of Desire by Lexi Blake
The last book I read in 2019: Highball Rush by Claire Kingsley and Lucy Score
The authors I have most read this year were Alexa Riley and Lisa Renee Jones, both with 16 books. Followed by Fiona Davenport with 12, then Penny Reid and Lexi Blake/Sophie Oak, both with 10.
I gave 97 books a 4 star rating or higher. 200 were 3-3.75 stars.
