Welcome back, reader friends! It’s time for Part IV of my annual Emoji Files celebrating my best reads of 2019. If you’ve missed my previous posts for 2019, make sure you check out The Swoony Awards, Got Me in the Feels, and The WOW Awards.
The Take Me Away Awards go to those books that were truly immersive reads, carrying me away to different times and places with authentic historical, sensory, and cultural details. Through these stories I’ve travelled all over the world and beyond and experienced castles, asylums, and so many things in between.
One book that I became completely immersed in this year was In Spite of Lions. The fictional heroines follows missionaries David and Mary Livingstone into the African interior. It was fascinating!
That sounds great! I’ll have to look it up.
