My guest on the podcast today is regular Ryan Fitzpatrick, co-creator of the #95books reading challenge, and we talk about our reading in 2019, reading in general, and plans for 2020.

Ryan’s website contains his reading list for 2019, and all of the other years we’ve been doing the #95books challenge.

My list of books read in 2019 appears further down this page, below the podcast. I have redacted a number of them, primarily because I will regularly read unpublished manuscripts and I don’t want to share/leak information about them that might have an impact on a publisher’s eventual marketing plan.
