The twenty-second book I read in 2019 was
The King of Attolia, the third book in Megan Whalen Turner's Queen's Thief series. One sometimes hears it said of a book that the reader "couldn't put it down." That is very nearly literally true of this book. I began reading it last night, picked it up again this morning, and had to force myself to put it down long enough to go the grocery store and various other things I had to get done today. I just wanted to keep reading and find out what happens!
By this point in the series, I have learned enough to trust that Eugenides has a plan and is on top of things, no matter what my appear to be happening around him, but it's still exhilarating simply to find out exactly how far ahead of the game he is and how he is going to triumph.
