My 2019 Reading Wrap-Up

Over the past couple of years, I have documented every film that I have watched and reviewed them all using Letterboxd. As a way to motivate myself to read more, I thought I would do the same for what books I have been reading, using Goodreads as a way to set myself a reading challenge every year.

After doubling my goal of 10 books last year (since I went on honeymoon and managed to read a book a day!), I thought I would keep my goal to 20 books this year. However, just missed out on this target, but I was ever so close to making it.

Here’s how my 2019 challenge went, with a short review and rating for each of the books that I read:

Book Review: The Wife Between Us

“I was happy, I think, but I wonder now if my memory is playing tricks on me. If it is giving me the gift of an illusion. We all layer them over our remembrances; the filters through which we want to see our lives.”

Written by Greer Hendricks and Sarah Pekkanen, The Wife Between Us is a 2018 thriller that follows a jealous ex-wife who is obsessed with her replacement, a younger woman set to marry the man she loves. But not all is at it seems in this twisted and manipulating story. Exposing the secret complexities of an enviable marriage and the dangerous truths we ignore in the name of love, your assumptions will all be proven wrong when Nellie and Vanessa finally come face to face.
