The Best Books I Read in 2019
Updated: Sep 16, 2020
I began the year with a wonderful journal from Amy Tangerine called Craft a Life You Love. Like Amy, I used to love scrapbooking! In high school I made them for family and friends. In college I created mixed media digital art. (I used to love creating mix CD covers!) I picked up this book because I wanted to remind myself that creativity can be sparked in so many different ways. It doesn’t always have to be from behind the camera.
Digging into the roots of my creative soul will help make me a better photographer and better artist!
Moving on to the list, here are other books I tackled in 2019!
Nine Perfect Strangers, by Liane Moriarty
An American Marriage, by Tayari Jones
There There, by Tommy Orange
Washington Black, by Esi Edugyan
The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, by Taylor Jenkins Reid
The Great Alone, by Kristin Hannah
Where The Crawdads Sing, by Delia Owens – This was by far my favorite book of the year!
The Power, by Naomi Alderman – I only made it about half-way through this book. I let myself give it up because it wasn’t holding my attention. It was taking me too long to read.
A Gentleman in Moscow, by Amore Towles
Less, by Andrew Sean Greer
The Flight Attendant, by Chris Bohjalian
The Boy Between Worlds, by Annejet van der Zijl
Everything I Never Told You, by Celeste Ng
Where’d You Go, Bernadette, by Maria Semple
My Brilliant Friend, by Elena Ferrante – I picked this one back up and somehow really enjoyed it much more than I had when I initially tried to start reading it in 2018.
The Alice Network, by Kate Quinn
Surprise Me, by Sophie Kinsella
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck, by Mark Manson
My Lovely Wife, by Samantha Downing
I did also get in a few audiobooks, heading to and from school shoots!
Becoming, by Michelle Obama
This is Marketing, by Seth Godin
Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine, by Gail Honeyman
