    • Personal Journals

We take a look back at our reading life in 2019: our challenges, our wins, and our favorite books. Highlights from the year:
Fiction: Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston, The Great Believers by Rebecca Makkai, and Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield
Non-fiction: Bad Blood by John Carreyou, The Eating Instinct by Virginia Sole-Smith, and The Enchanted Hour by Meghan Cox Gurdon
Most enjoyable: Lady Sherlock series by Sherry Thomas and Court of Thorn and Roses series by Sarah Maas
Memoir: All You Can Ever Know by Nicole Chung, Flat by Catherine Guthrie, and On Living by Kerry Egan
Audio: Becoming by Michelle Obama and the Flavia de Luce series by Alan Bradley
Looking forward to: City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert and The Heir Affair by Heather Cocks and Jessica Morgan
Life lately
Sarah's entryway is getting a remodel.
Abby is grateful for her buy nothing group, especially in the days leading up to her move.
Reading lately
Abby read The Wedding Party, which is the third book in the series that started with The Wedding Date. (And we can't wait to read the next book: The Royal Holiday!)
Sarah read Bruce Holsinger's novel, The Gifted School.
Eating lately
Sarah made a classic chocolate pie for Thanksgiving.
Abby claims to have found the easiest meal you can make in your oven.
