🌻 Lucie’s 2019 in Review 🌻

Hi, I’m Lucie and last year I made my resolution to read 52 books in 2019. I’ve always enjoyed reading, but during university I fell out of practice reading for fun. I’m happy to say I’ve recently surpassed my goal. ✨

My favourite reads of 2019 were:

📚One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez

To begin with the repetitive family names caused confusion, but the sheer time span the book covers is incredible and the payoff is completely worth the early confusion. There are definite moments of sheer bewilderment, and the dread of never being able to escape one's history lingers.

📚DOOM PATROL Vol. 1: Brick by Brick by Gerard Way and Nick Derington

Introduced to graphic novels by The Umbrella Academy also by Way with Gabriel Ba, I ventured out to other titles for the first time this year. The craziness of the Doom Patrol world and the gradual introduction of the team made this a fun way to be brought into the storyline and the artwork is amazing.

📚The Good Immigrant by Nikesh Shukla

A collection of essays by BAME authors illustrating the way immigration has affected their lives in the UK. I had seen this book recommended a few places, and glad I made the decision to pick it up this year. At times funny, at others eye opening, it has encouraged me to pick up more essay collections in the future.

📚Elliot Bay Book Company📚

 Having planned a birthday weekend in Portland, we couldn’t resist a quick trip up to Seattle and came across Elliot Bay Book Company. What we loved about the store was the abundance of handwritten recommendations that covered every shelf. It was only too easy to stand browsing for an hour finding a new favourite to take home with us.
