My Top 5 Authors were for 2019.
  1. Lauren Carr (6 Books)
  2. Wanda Brunstter (4 Books)
  3. Randall Goodgame (3 Books)
  4. Scott McCall (3 Books)
  5. JK Kelly (2 Books)
As you can see that is my list of authors by amount I read. You see my Top 5 Authors for this year. I read 54 books and have 31 Total authors. I have read few books by a couple of authors. I like that by far. You can see what my favorite authors were this year.

For my Genre of book i enjoyed this year seem to be "Mystery" 8 books (34.3%). This seem about fair given that Lauren Carr is my top author with a total of 6 Books read. The next one is "Romance" with 8 books (22.9%), and then "Historical Fiction" with 7 (20%). My Top was "Other" with 19 Books but it not listed on this chart.

Those are my favorite to read by the way of fiction. Not in that order per say. I enjoy Children which falls in the Other section in this chart. Mystery is the next best for me. This year this chart is not complete right has some of the genres were missing in the chart.

The authors gender for me this year was clear. I read more female authors then male. Female authors read this year is a total of 36 (66.7%), Male authors read this year was 14 (25.9%), Both and NA came to 2 books a piece (3.7%). I did do this years though a pie chart to see what my percentage is more Female or Male? My key to this is using Female (F), Male (M), Combined (Both), I did not know (NA).



Almost but not quite there is my Series vs Standalone? How many books do you think you can read 29 Books in series and 25 Books that are considered Standalone. Series out wins Standalone this year.
that are not series or just standalone. I know I read more series books then I do standalone books. I know i read more series then standalone. But how many of each for this year? I have not clue. How many did i start and not finish or got a book that put me to starting a new series. Well lets find out, By looking at the pie chart. Well it looks like I have

I wondered how many of my books came in what format? Were they E-books or Paperback or audio-book or another format. Well thanks me keeping track and Google Sheets for helping figure out the numbers to correct my spreadsheet for making the right format for each of my books for this year in 2019.
For This year of 2019, I have seem to have read more Paperbacks. I had a total of 5 different formats this year. E-Book, Paperback, Hardcover, Audio-Book and Board Book. My E-books came next after Paperback. Which you can tell by the pie chart.

Now for my reviews for this year. I have read 54 books. Most of the reviews are up for this year. I will show you my first review for 2019 that got posted on Goodreads. That is "A Christmas Story of Light" by Ora Smith. I got this book as an E-book and Being on the book Tour. I enjoyed it.

My favorite book that really enjoyed reading and it was out of my Book Tour books was "Over the River and Though the Woods". It was one of my better reads. do not get me wrong when I say that this is one of my favorites reads. It was on one of my top reads for 2019. If would suggest you read my review of "Over the River and Though the Woods". Winter Frost is second, The Thirteenth Guardian come third to that.

    Favorite Book of the Month:

    My Review for Which Shape Should I Be
    It good babies to Toddlers. Ages 00/04 (Newborn to 4 year olds)
    A circle, a square—each shape everywhere . . . Can you choose which shape each picture should be? In this delightful concept board book, toddlers will giggle at the silliness of a square egg or a round star, all while learning to recognize nine shapes. And they’ll learn that God made each of us the perfect shape too!
