here's how i finished up 2019!
political tribes, by amy chua (i listened to this on audiobook and it was interesting and ultimately good but could have been a longform essay instead of a book, which is how i feel about a fair amount of nonfiction. so don't rush out to get this, but i did learn some interesting stuff in this book about human desire to belong to a group and thus to create "out group members" and the problems that can create.)
this is my body, by cameron dezen hammon (i read this at the recommendation of a friend and it was fine and all but i think a more religious person was the target audience here. if you are that more religious 30-something woman, look into this book. otherwise, please skip.)
salt to the sea, by ruta sepetys (arron's aunt lent me this and i really enjoyed it. there are four narrators and each chapter is only a few pages long, so it was perfect to read in little snippets during winter break. a super easy and rewarding read and i learned a lot about an aspect of WWII history that i knew nothing about - the fleeing of refugees and wealthy germans by boat in 1945 as it became clear germany was going to lose the war. if you like historical fiction, i highly recommend!)
