I am currently enjoying A Life in the Law: Advice for Your Lawyers, Legal Ethics Stories, the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Supplement, Contracts…kidding. I’m definitely not reading those for fun. But I am ~technically~ reading them for school. But that’s not why you’re here. You’re here for the juicy romcom, sci-fi, young adult weirdness that my Goodreads account is usually full of.
I hit my goal of reading 15 books last year. Usually I read close to 30, but there was no way I was going to have free time to read as prolifically as I usually do during law school. I set my goals lower and hit them, with help from a few audiobooks at the tail end of December.
Here’s a list, and rating, of all those books:
- The Princess Saves Herself in This One Amanda Lovelace 3/5
- Jane Eyre Charlotte Bronte 4/5
- Call Me By Your Name 4/5
- Donna Haraway and Genetically Modified Foods George Myerson 2/5
- Beautiful Boy: A Father’s Journey Through His Son’s Addiction David Sheff 5/5
- It Stephen King 5/5
- Atlas Shrugged Ayn Rand 3/5
- The Great American Whatever Tim Federle 4/5
- The Contemporary American Poets Mark Strand 4/5
- The Nightingale Kristin Hannah 3/5
- Emergency Contact Mary H.K. Choi 4/5
- Fates and Furies Lauren Groff 5/5
- Where the Crawdads Sing Delia Owens 5/5
- Girl, Wash Your Face: Stop Believing Lies About Who You Are So You Can Become Who You Were Meant To Be Rachel Hollis 3/5
- The Secret History Donna Tartt 5/5
- Wishful Drinking Carrie Fisher 4/5
- Bossypants Tina Fey 3/5
- Talking as Fast as I Can: From Gilmore Girls to Gilmore Girls, and Everything in Between Lauren Graham 4/5
And a few I didn’t finish reading:
- Lyotard and the Inhuman Stuart Sim
- Basic Witches: How to Summon Success, Banish Drama, and Raise Hell With Your Coven Jaya Saxena and Jess Zimmerman
- One L: The Turbulent True Story of a First Year at Harvard Law School Scott Turow
What’s currently on my nightstand:
- Catherine the Great: Portrait of a Woman Robert Massie
- Salt Fat Acid Heat Samin Nosrat
And what I’m looking forward to picking up in 2020:
- Little Fires Everywhere Celeste Ng
- Ninth House Leigh Bardugo
- Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil John Berendt
If there’s any book in particular you’d like me to write a full review on, leave a comment with the title below!
I see a couple that were on Katie’s list. The only one I read this year from your list is “Where the Crawdads Sing” and I agree 5/5! Was great! Two other favorites I think you would also love are “The Hate U Give” and “Just Mercy”. Happy Reading! Love you!

I’m going to read Just Mercy for school at the end of this month, just haven’t gotten into it yet. I’ve heard amazing things about The Hate U Give and keep forgetting to put it on my list. Thanks for reminding me about that one! Happy reading to you too! Love ya!
