Today is the Fall update on my #MustReadin2019 reading progress. This was my first year to participate and I listed 42 “must read” books that I really hoped to slip into my regular weekly reading. In 2019, so far I’ve read 212 books and I am just about to finish book 27 today from my “must read” list. I do think I may be rolling 2 or 3 books over my 2020 list, but we’ll just see how these last four months of the year go.

These are the books I still have left to finish (minus Children of Virtue and Vengeance by Tomi Adeyemi, which hasn’t yet been released and its publication date was pushed back to December 3rd):
