I swore that I was through with “Best Books of 2019” lists. But then the folks at Off the Shelf hit me with this post:
The Best of 2019: The Top 10 Book Lists of the Year

This year, we even explored new sub-genres like domestic thrillers, historical fantasy and mystery, dysfunctional family dramedies, and even books Stephen King has blurbed. Here are just 10 of our favorite book lists we ran on Off the Shelf this year.
