Books of 2019- Installment #20

96. This is How You Lose the Time War by Amal El-Mohtar & Max Gladstone
I was so excited to read this novella. The two main characters are on opposite sides of a time war and their interactions with each other. Being drawn to each because of their skill/talents and needing to not be seen interacting leads to some crazy escapades.

97. The Border Keeper by Kerstin Hall
A man shows up at the Border Keeper's door. He wants something, but he doesn't say what. What follows is the journey to learn what he wants and how they are connected.

98. The Lady's Guide to Celestial Mechanics by Olivia Waite
This is a romance where a countess and an astronomer meet and fall in love. It's a little bit novel for a romance. But I think what made me love this book was that for the most part the obstacles that these two lovers face are not the typical romance novel obstacles where they take half the book realizing that they actually do like each other. These women face the challenges of being a woman together and thrive. So that made me very happy.

99. Ormeshadow by Priya Sharma
I'm not really sure what to say about this novella. A family falls on hard times and has to move in with a brother. They go from city life to farm life. And the son learns of a family legacy.


100. The Winter People by Jennifer McMahon
This is my second Jennifer McMahon (both this year!!) and this one scared the bejesus out of me!! A farmhouse in rural Vermont haunted by its past and its present- literally and metaphorically.


I've read 100 books so far and 72 were by woman, 24 by men, 1 book by a female and male author, and 3 anthologies with both female and male authors- two of which were mostly female authors. My year of reading lots of women is still going strong!!!
