Rating: 3.5 / 5 I found THE NICKEL BOYS by Colson Whitehead on a New Year's Eve used bookstore run and was super excited since I have been wanting to read his books for a long time (UNDERGROUND RAILROAD has been on my TBR for far too long!).

Rating: 4.5 / 5 THE DUTCH HOUSE by Ann Patchett was our first January book pick for the buddy read I help host over on bookstagram and it was a great way to kick off the year.

ON BEAUTY by Zadie Smith
Rating: 3 / 5 ON BEAUTY by Zadie Smith has been on my TBR for quite a while, so it was the obvious choice when I pulled the Reading Women Challenge prompt for a book that has won the Women's Prize for Fiction.

STILL ALICE by Lisa Genova
Rating: 3.5 / 5 STILL ALICE by Lisa Genova was one of the highest rated books on my TBR on Goodreads that I didn't remember putting on my TBR.

SHADOW MAN by Alan Drew
Rating: 3.5 / 5 SHADOW MAN by Alan Drew was my book that I selected for the Popsugar Reading Challenge with my eyes closed.

THE GIRL HE USED TO KNOW by Tracey Garvis Graves
Rating: 4/ 5 THE GIRL HE USED TO KNOW by Tracey Garvis Graves was my first book of 2020 and what a way to kick off the year!

ACROSS THE UNIVERSE by Beth Revis
Rating: 3.5 / 5 One of my first reading prompts for the year was to pick a book somehow related to Maximilian Hell who was an astronomer.

Sunday was… Continue reading Monday Morning Reading Check In
