Yuko's Favorite Books of 2019 (Patreon)

HELLO HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! My computer logged itself out of patreon over the holiday and since I spent my holiday recuperating after a surgery I didn't look up the password again until today ha ha
Welcome to my Favorite Read (audio) Books of 2019! I listen to audiobooks while I work and tend to burn through them semi-quickly. In 2018 and 2019 I got into digital library loans through the Libby app, I highly recommend it! Most of these were gotten for free through the library, with a few exceptions.
My favorite books I read of 2019 were Bad Blood by John Carreyrou (nonfiction, investigative journalism about Theranos), Sabriel by Garth Nix (YA fantasy, I'd somehow never read it before and really loved it), and A Memory Called Empire by Arkady Martine (science fiction political intrigue). OH, and Keturah and Lord Death by Martine Leavitt (fairytale fantasy, also about the physical embodiment of Death which is a favorite theme of mine)
I did an extremely bad job of keeping track of the comics I read as well and didn't even bother filling out the spreadsheet even though I set one up!! Off the top of my head my favorite comics in 2019 were Delicious in Dungeon by Ryoko Kui and When I Arrived at the Castle by Emily Carroll.
As with last year, I blanked out any books I marked at ⭐️⭐️½ or lower, I only want to share recommendations I really enjoyed!
In 2019 I dipped into more nonfiction and I want to keep that up in 2020! Here's to more reading in the New Year! 🎉
