My #BestBooks of 2019: a thread.
I read 29 books this year (look, I'm a slow reader & I'm comfortable with odd numbers, deal with it 😌).
A few things I ensured to do this year to switch up my reading and keep it diverse and inclusive:
I read 29 books this year (look, I'm a slow reader & I'm comfortable with odd numbers, deal with it 😌).
A few things I ensured to do this year to switch up my reading and keep it diverse and inclusive:
- multi-genre & across subgenres, so I didn't only read SFF
- multi-format, so I read in print, e-book & audio
- authors across identity spectra, particularly ensuring to have 50%+ non-male, non-white works.
Now, on to the books. *wriggles fingers*

1. THE POET X by @AcevedoWrites. Highly recommend. YA coming-of-age novel-in-verse, but you don't have to read YA to see the genius in this book's simplicity packed with complexity. I would die for this book if I could. I still may, who knows?

I've gotten questions about whether I'm still accepting emails, catalogs, galleys for consideration for my Ms lists and other reviews. YES, I am! This is more true now: I want to know about all your #feminist, #queer, POC, WOC, womxnist, trans, enby, neurodivergent, etc books!
If you don't know how to get me, send me a message and I will get you the info. More info about what I'm looking for: look at the intro of any Ms #Reads for the Rest of Us list msmagazine.com/tag/feminist-k… AND/OR my review policy page: karlajstrand.com/review-policy/
Thread of the most enjoyable things I read in 2017 (ideal late stocking fillers!) #BestBooks
1. Sapiens by @harari_yaval
You will stop and whisper 'Wow' time and again. One to be savoured.
Honourable mention too to the sequel 'Homo Deus'. Similarly mind-expanding.

2. A Little Life by Hanya Yanagihara
Some love, some hate. I love it. All of human emotion is here. Haunts long after the final page. @alittlelifebook
