Ok so the day before I had to leave for my holiday trip I realized that any 2019 content should be filmed and posted before the year is over so I had to plop a camera on the table and tell you my top favorite books I read this year but I was also supposed to shower because at that point my filth had accumulated so much over the past few days of winter hibernation that I could smell my stinky socks but the sun was going to set in an hour so I knew I had to film this video now or never and now we have about 20+ min footage of me bearing the sweat and mildew of my oily hair and prickly armpits soaking through my dirty hoodie and emanating the true scum that I am. Anyway, what were your fave books this year?
TBH, a lot of my 4-star books are objectively better than some of my 5-star ones, and that's how you know the rating system is an arbitrary sham. Sometimes I wonder if I should abandon the rating system altogether because my opinions are so subjective, but it's also a lot easier to filter out books when I can quantify them.

I had to gloss over these books so that the video wouldn’t be TOO long but if you want more in-depth reviews of these books you can search “readwithcindy [book title]” and a video should pop up where I cover that specific book in a monthly wrap-up.
Hope everyone had a great holiday! There are still new books I read in December that I haven't covered here, including thrillers, which is a genre that I would like to talk more about. We'll include them in 2020!

Cindy, you're super inspiring. Most people assume that booktubers just read fantasy and erotica or mostly trashy YA genre, to make entertainment- but I remember seeing something about 'digital proliferance' or something in one of your stack of books from a vlog and now these non fictional memoirs... it shows you really know what you're talking about. I used to consider myself an avid reader, but really it was the same genre with poorly recycled versions of the same stories and tropes. You've shown me that I can expand my horizons and learn so much more but also want to read trash and have fun with it. Thanks :D

Aw thank you!! I think it is totally okay to just read one type of thing too tho. For me I personally like to vary it bc I know that if I read too much of one thing I'll easily get sick of it.

I'm reading Lovely War right now, and it's so amazing. It's both heartwarming and heartbreaking.

How about you take a bath and read a book at the same time? Because you swim of a sea of knowledge. Ayeeeeeeeee.

The Boat was such a great experience. It left me speechless. Especially the music, the sound effects and the way the panels were drawn. It was so ominous.

If you like those war time romance novels, you should really give The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society a chance - I loved it ao much! (and the movie is brilliant, too)
